One of the most perfect moments in film is the Christmas sequence in "Meet me In St. Louis," which begins with Esther (Judy Garland) returning home from a party to comfort a mournful Tootie (Margaret O'Brien, in a Juvenile Oscar winning performance!!!) by singing a now signature classic, culminating with Tootie running hysterically out of the house, and into the yard, to smash the snowmen!!!!!!!!!!
The angels weep at this sequence, I am telling you!!!!!!!!!!! So, now that we are zeroing in on Christmas, it is time to rev up the musical ante, by including stronger stuff, and I cannot think of any better place to start than here!!!!!!!!!!
Live on in our hearts, Judy and Margaret!!!!!!!!!! (But Margaret is still with us!)
