Like "The Wizard Of Oz," five years before, "Meet Me In St. Louis," from 1944, is one of those films in which every frame is perfection. It is hard to top this double whammy, with Judy Garland and Margaret O"Brien, in Christmas card imagery, with Judy singing, as only she can, "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas," followed by Margaret's Oscar winning moment where she dashes out of the house, in tears, and hysterically smashes the snowman!
Which, of course, is when I lose it, darlings, watching this flow, and the tears flow as effortlessly as they do for Margaret! I could do this scene on cue, I am telling you!
So, here they are! Merry, Merry, everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The penultimate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
