Henry D @Henry_Domke 6 days ago Substandard. Silly and not to my taste, but tolerable while we exercised. The HBO print was disappointing, with fairly low resolution that was especially noticeable on our large screen. Judy Garland was the exception, I do enjoy hearing her sing, and what a voice. I also enjoyed the barbershop quartet numbers. See more Joel H @786Joel May 4, 2026 There’s not a lot of summer during the runtime of In the Good Old Summertime. In fact, a good chunk of it is set during Christmas. But that doesn’t seem to be the point of this movie. The point seems to be getting Judy Garland to sing as many full-length musical numbers as possible. I think I counted six, including one scene where she sings two in a row. Still, it’s a cute movie, and Ms. Garland definitely gets to show off her vocal talents. If you’ve seen The Shop Around the Corner or You’ve Got Mail, then you already know the plot of In the Good Old Summertime, but that’s okay, because it’s likeable.

See more S R @ScottR Oct 12, 2023 Although it's not as good as the original Shop Around the Corner, it still has some quality and lasting moments. Great cast. Beautiful mise en scene. Some decent music and signing, but some songs were forgettable. I wish Buster would've got a bigger role. Saw it on TCM. See more Steve D @RT35616104 Jun 8, 2023 Too slapstick and the stars have NO chemistry. See more Jun 22, 2020 Despite the title, it's a great film to add to your queue of Christmas films. Judy is as charming as ever. See more Read all reviews
