Movie Info

While her actress sister, Abigail (Gloria DeHaven), roams with a stock theater company, country girl Jane (Judy Garland) stays home in rural Connecticut tending the family farm. Jane sees red when Abigail returns unannounced, stock company in tow, with plans to convert the family's barn into a venue for the troupe's musical revue. But after Abigail's beau, Joe (Gene Kelly), sells his car to buy Jane a new tractor, the farm girl softens and even gets bitten by the performing bug herself.

Audience Reviews for Summer Stock

  • Jul 19, 2014
    A silly, predictable trifle, but for Garland and Kelly it's worth a viewing.
    Alec B Super Reviewer

    An okay movie, full of song and dance numbers with little story, which kind of gets on my nerves sometimes. I'd say this is an average musical comedy.

    Watch Judy's weight fluctuate from scene to scene. Be that as it may she is breezy and sings "Get Happy" and one of her most beautiful songs "Friendly Star"

    I think I've said how much I'm all-in for musicals in general. This is true, but <i>Summer Stock</i> will never make my all-time favorite list. The story is messy, the many talents of Marjorie Main are wasted, and the songs are not exactly, for the most part, what strike me as hummable tunes. Still, for a balls-out performance from an unexpected quarter, check out Phil Silvers. Amazing.
