Meet me in st louis full movie youtube. -Buenos días -Muchas frías. no entendí lo de las frías XD. Here from family guy. Video Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM) Nastala chyba při přehrávání videa. Můj druhý kousek z dílny Minnelliho. Nebojím se říci, že do škatulky Minnelli dobře zapadl. Zpočátku mě zarazil nízký počet písní, ale na druhou stranu musím říct, že jsou docela chytlavé. Snímek má pohodovou a idylickou atmosféru, kterou dotvářejí kulisy, kostýmy a barvy. Trošku naivní, trošku sentimentální, na někoho to možná může působit vyčpěle, ale podle mě Setkáme se v St. Louis svůj záměr naplnil. (21. 4. 2013) Anderton Meet me in st. Louis je príliš načančaný a farebný muzikál na to, aby sa mi skutočne mohol páčiť. Jeho dej nie je nijak chytľavý, skôr iba tak plynie, predstavuje postavičky svojráznej rodinky a pohybuje sa medzi nostalgiou a rozjarenosťou, prekladanými hudbou. Doma mám dvd za 10 eur, takže si ho určite ešte raz z princípu pozriem a možno napíšem o ňom viac podrobne. (1. 8. 2012) vypravěč Jakkoliv miluji Judy Garland, saintlouiská idyla, natočená ve čtyřiačtyřicátém jako nostalgické ohlédnutí za věkem prosperity, bezpečí a plodnosti v metropoli rasistického Missouri, mně již při prvním zhlédnutí přišla spíše umlouvající než útěšná. Vytrvalé vyprávění o dávných jistotách pěstovaných souběžně s prvními semínky války sice prokládají opravdu krásné písně, pokojný kolorit kolébá lépe než houpací křeslo, ale ta vyhlášená hřejivá deka kouše. Vzdor dílčím anekdotickým epizodkám, zvláště těm rodinným, ryze minnelliovským, jsem nepřestával myslet na poměr mezi válečným podnětem k natočení této reminiscence a zamlčeným impulsem k boji vyhlášeným maloměstskou divadelností, zde nahlíženou jako vkusná bělošská konvence. (27. 10. 2017) Matty Všude dobře, v St. Louis nejlépe. Nádherně bezelstný muzikál z časů, kdy národ potřeboval povzbudit. Utužování tradičních hodnot a podprahové probouzení lásky k vlasti je zakódováno takřka v každé scéně. Smithovi jsou už dle příjmení typickou americkou rodinou, zažívající nadto tradiční situace (Halloween, Vánoce. Veškerá důležitá rozhodnutí činí moudrá a ve správnou chvíli také shovívavá hlava rodiny a také ostatní posuny ve vyprávění jsou vyhrazeny mužům. Povinností žen a dívek je spočinout v objetí urostlého mladíka z lepší rodiny, posléze uvařit chutnou krmi a podpořit manžela (manželka od pana Smithe jako jediná přijme nabízený kousek dortu. Není to důvod k úšklebkům, Meet Me in St. Louis výtečně plní jak úlohu ?feel good“ filmu, tak filmu, skrze nějž se lze dobrat povahy meziválečné americké společnosti. Judy Garland je zde navíc, na pohled i na poslech, mnohem příjemnější než v Čaroději ze země Oz. 80% 21. 2014) Morien (1001) Uznávám na světě jediný muzikál a to je Jesus Christ Superstar, ale tady se mi stala zvláštní věc. Poprvé, nebo alespoň poprvé za dlouhou dobu, jsem našla v muzikálovém filmu situaci, kde hudební číslo hluboce a smysluplně slouží zápletce a postavám. Mluvím konkrétně o scéně, kdy si po velké rodinné hádce maminka protáhne prsty a po mnoha letech usedne k piánu a začne hrát. Unavený tatínek si k ní stoupne a začne zpívat slova milostné písně. A všichni uražení členové rodiny se vrátí dolů, poslouchají hudbu a pokračují v oslavě rodinného svátku s tím, že hněv je pohřben. Potom se mi také líbilo použití dětské optiky při halloweenské epizodě. (26. 5. 2015) Producent Arthur Freed daboval spev Leona Amesa.

‘A movie that defines perfection: Judy?Garland in Meet Me in St Louis. T his week we have a welcome rerelease of Meet Me in St Louis, which opened in America 67 years ago this month. It was the first truly great movie from the Freed unit, the MGM department specialising in musicals and headed since 1940 by Arthur Freed, who wrote some of the best songs of the 1920s and 30s and produced several of the finest films of the 20th century. Freed acquired Sally Benson's series of New Yorker stories about the delightful middle-class Smith family proudly living in 1903 St Louis and looking forward to the following year's World's Fair but not to a proposed move to New York. He assembled the writers, composers, designers and cast, including the virtually unknown Vincente Minnelli, and told studio boss Louis B Mayer: I want to make this into the most delightful piece of Americana ever. He achieved his aim with a movie that defines perfection, as it captures the spirit of hope and anxiety that informed the last years of the second world war, when it was made. It's a film whose four parts cover the seasons from summer to spring but is truly a film for all seasons and all time. Each chapter is preceded by a tintype of the Smith's idyllic suburban house that turns from sepia to tinted to ravishing Technicolor. The combination of new numbers such as "The Trolley Song" and old music-hall favourites such as "Down at the Old Bull and Bush" is beautifully judged. The title song that opens the film is picked up by different members of the family as they go around the house, a device borrowed from Hollywood's first great musical, Mamoulian's Love Me Tonight (1932. The casting is flawless, starting with Leon Ames as the gruff, devoted Edwardian paterfamilias and Mary Astor (the definitive film-noir femme fatale in The Maltese Falcon three years before) as mother. Judy Garland has never been more spirited or more poignant ( Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" is up there with "Over the Rainbow" and "The Man That Got Away. Margaret O'Brien has never been more tolerable, and the film makes her the instrument of the family's dangerous id as she tends her terminally ill dolls, embarks on a disruptive Halloween spree and decapitates the snowmen she'll have to abandon if the family leave their beloved St Louis for New York. When fellow MGM executives demanded to know the source of the film's dramatic conflict, Freed replied: Where is the villain? Well, the villain is New York!. Click here to read about author Sally Benson and the origins of the story. MGM purchased the screen rights to Sally Benson's "Kensington Stories" for 25, 000. 00 on March 1, 1942. Right away, the story went through the screen writing process at MGM. Several screen writers and authors took a stab at it. Sally Benson herself worked on what became a 198 page treatment written with Doris Gilbert between March 30 and May 9, 1942. Between April and October 1942, other writers worked on the project, including the husband-and-wife team of Victor Heerman & Sarah Y. Mason (Oscar winners for their 1933 adaptation of Little Women) and William Ludwig, who had written for the Andy Hardy series and also Margaret O'Brien's Journey For Margaret (1943. None of these treatments seemed to work, and finally Irving Brecher & Fred Finklehoffe were given the assignment. Finklehoffe had written for several Judy Garland musicals, and Brecher had written for the Marx Brothers, which seemed at first an odd choice to write a delicate family story. Finklehoffe and Brecher wisely decided that the bulk of the story should take place in the Smith family home and it's surrounding area of St. Louis. It was Finklehoffe and Brecher who expanded the "Warren Sheffield telephone call from New York" scene by making Mr. Smith ignorant to the goings on and having him hang up the phone when it first rings. They also took out scenes at Princeton University and a Smith family visit to their grandparents in Manitowoc, Wisconsin. Some other changes made were: Moving Mr. Smith's decision NOT to move the family to New York from immediately after the family's objections to the night before the planned move(Christmas Eve) heightening the tension; Removing a romance between Rose and Colonel Andrews (renamed Darly in the final film) only a small scene remains that hints of Rose's attraction to him;Removing an announcement by Tootie that she did not want to go to the fair; Changing the hair color of Rose and Esther from blonde and black to both being auburn; Removing a blackmail subplot involving Esther and finally, they divided the film into four segments representing the four seasons of the year (Sally Benson's book had been 12 chapters, one for each month of the year. Name changes were made too, sometimes for legal reasons. Sally Benson wanted Lucille Ballard's name to be either Picard or Dorsey. John Truett began life as John "Bluett. then for legal reasons became Collins, then Truett (Ms. Benson objected to "Truett. Bluett" stayed as the reference name of the house on MGM's "St. Louis Street" even after the backlot was torn down. Warren Sheffield originally was named Warren Sheppard, and for legal reasons the Waughops became the Braukoffs. The real life name of the maid was indeed Katie, and the real-life Katie was alive and well and provided a signed release to the MGM legal department, giving the "ok" to use her name. Finally, here are some interesting additions, changes, and/or deletions from the original book: The ketchup tasting scene that opens the film is an very expanded version of a simple paragraph in the book; In the book Rose gets mixed up with a middle-aged man; Mrs. Smith loses her temper; Tootie's ride on the ice wagon was originally a ride on a water-sprinkler; The cakewalk scene is danced in the book by Agnes, in a man's hat (Sally Benson based the Agnes character on herself) The Halloween sequence is in the book although it's Agnes who takes on the Braukoffs (or Waughops) A slight reference in the March segment of the book to a trolley gave birth to the entire "Trolley Song" sequence; The scene of Tootie and Agnes coming down the stairs during Lon's farewell party and Tootie singing "I Was Drunk Last Night" also comes from the book; Mr. Smith's decision to move the family to New York, and the subsequent tension it creates for the final half of the film, is from a small three-page episode in the book; and finally, it's Agnes who ends the book by saying "I can't believe it. right here where we live. Right here in St. Louis. With the script in place, producer Arthur Freed turned to Hugh Martin and Ralph Blane to compose the original songs for the film. At the time, Martin and Blane had enjoyed moderate success with their successful Broadway show "Best Foot Forward" property was bought by MGM, so Martin and Blane, along with stars Nancy Walker, Tommy Dix and Gil Stratton, were brought out to MGM to adapt the show for the screen. Martin and Blane also contributed to other films including "Three Cheers For The Yanks" to For Me And My Gal (1942) starring Judy Garland. Still, they hadn't obtained the success they wanted so Meet Me In St. Louis was their big chance. Freed felt strongly enough about their abilities to ask them to write new songs for Meet Me In St. Louis, to help complement the use standards of the day. They would end up providing four songs for the film, three of which would be the best of their careers and have since become classic standards ( The Boy Next Door" The Trolley Song" and "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas. Freed also took a chance on hiring Vincente Minnelli to direct. At first Minnelli seemed like an odd choice to helm such a costly and risky project. Although to Freed, it probably seemed like the logical choice. Known for his use of composition and his unusual flair for design, Minnelli was an inspired choice. Minnelli had directed I Dood It (1942) starring Red Skelton, and most notably Cabin In The Sky (1943) starring Ethel Waters and Lena Horne. Click here for a biography of Vincente Minnelli. Many at the studio felt the story had not plot and that the film would be a flop. It was even referred to by some as "Freed's Folly. But Freed stood by his choices and went about the tasks of pre-production on the film, including the casting of the major roles. When Judy Garland first discovered that MGM was going to cast her in their new musical film entitled Meet Me In St. Louis she was not happy. She feared, and with good reason, that the film would set her career back. She had finally been allowed to grow up on the screen. In For Me And My Gal (1942) she was given a real romantic lead in newcomer Gene Kelly, and she was the undisputed star of the film, with her name alone above the title for the first time. After that she appeared in Presenting Lily Mars which was the first time the studio made a real effort to make her look glamorous, even if it was mainly for the finale at the end of the picture. She was seen for the first time with her hair up and looking quite beautiful. True, she had also just completed Girl Crazy (1943) as well, but even in that, her final complete film with Mickey Rooney, she was a completely different character than in all of the other Garland/Rooney pictures. In this film, Mickey chased Judy rather than the other way around, and she was portrayed not as a teenager deep in puppy love, but as a lovely young woman. Now, after reading the St. Louis script, it appeared as though the studio wanted her to revert back to playing a high school girl with a crush on the boy next door. Judy was dating Joe Mankiewicz at the time, and he was also instrumental in allowing her to see herself as not just a little girl with a big voice, but a desirable woman. At 22 years of age, Mankiewicz reasoned, Judy Garland had the talent and ability to graduate to more adult roles. And Judy not only agreed with it, but with Mankiewicz in her corner, for the first time she summoned up the strength to actually resist the studio for her own benefit. Judy went to L. B. Mayer and complained, and for once he sided with her. He went to producer Arthur Freed to discuss the matter, but was effectively swayed in the other direction by Freed, director Vincent Minnelli, and most importantly the reigning studio storyteller Lillie Messinger. Once Lillie got a hold of a story, no one was immune. She was able to effectively point out the charms and magic of the story. Mr. Mayer loved a good sentimental "all-American" story and this had everything he loved. Next Judy went to see Minnelli on her own, thinking that she might be able to persuade him, since she was one of MGM's biggest stars, and he was a novice director. Minnelli had directed only two films before, neither was a big financial success. The best of the two, Cabin In The Sky, although a beautiful film that critics liked, was an all-black film and in 1943 that meant a limited audience. Judy was sure that not only would St. Louis be a mistake but that she could persuade Minnelli that it really wasn't very good! In his memoirs, Minnelli reports what happened when Judy came to see him about the film: She looked at me as if we were planning an armed robbery against the American public. She later told me that she'd come to see me thinking I would see it her way. Per Minnelli, Garland says "It's not very good, is it. to which Minnelli responded with "I think it's fine. I see a lot of great things in it. In fact, it's magical. "Whether years later the exact words of the conversation are remember by Minnelli is immaterial. Judy may have been going on an early draft of the screenplay which was, according to most accounts, not very good. But it was shaped up by the time rehearsals began. And since Mayer switched and sided with Freed, and Freed stood behind Minnelli, Judy had no choice but to acquiesce. Rehearsals began on November 11, 1943 and Judy did not exactly throw herself into the role. She was used to the more contemporary, wise cracking" dialog. When filming began almost a month later on December 7, 1943 things weren't much better. In fact, it's reported that when Minnelli was away from the set, Judy would sometimes entertain the cast and crew with a devilishly satire of Minnelli centered around his "perfectionism. This skit would entail her acting out the part of an MGM bit actor who is paid his set fee to say one line in every film in production: I think it may rain to Meet me in st. louis streaming.

Jerome Robbins Himself, who choreographed the dances for the original Broadway production, directed the dance sequences for this movie. Robert Wise was co-director and I can see his influence in the way dance sequences were filmed, but the actual dancing- it's so spectacular because Jerome Robbins was there asking for perfection! Rita Moreno and George Chakiris gave it to him, too. Chakiris was such a graceful dancer, he was mesmerizing.

Absolutely delightful entertainment. Meet me in st louis sheet music. Really? This is what I was waiting for? This film is just a bunch of clichés strung together with some macabre elements.

I thought it would be a postcard to St. Louis, but it could have taken place anywhere. The World's Fair was barely relevant. The men were all stereotypes; the lordly-yet-foolish money-focused father who is changed by his family's warmth. The awkwardly formal men, the candied turn-of-the-century nostalgia. Other than Judy Garland's desire to extract a kiss out of her neighbor, the whole film is a silly tribute to normative culture. I guess that's what they hoped the boys fighting in Europe and Asia in 1944 wanted to see. This whole Ivy League worship was nauseating. "I'm talking to a Yale man in New York. Princeton is a peach of a school. and the safe "Smith" like names. The father wanting to move to NY for "money" even though they look pretty damn well off. The oldest sister's beau bursting into their house angrily and demanding that she marry him and he won't take no for an answer or whatever. Then walking out. A masturbatory fantasy for one-dimensional women. The only interesting point was the little sister's mischievousness. It was dark and playful part of an otherwise pointless costume drama.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with this film. It's visually lush, pleasant to watch, and has its heart in the right place. The film was pure escapism for moviegoers in 1944 suffering through the war, hearkening back to a simpler time four decades earlier, and that has a certain magic to it as well. The trouble is, there was just nothing that excited me as I watched it. It was too pleasant, too canned, too wholesome (even if the little girl in the family is delightfully preoccupied with death and killing. There is one exception, and that comes at the 1:40 point, when Judy Garland sings "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas." I've always loved that song because it touches my heart knowing the troubles she later went through in her personal life, and there's another layer here when you hear words like "someday soon we all will be together" from 1944, when a lot of family members were so far away and with their lives in danger. That's a 5 star moment for sure, but really the only one for me in the film.

It's funny, when I compare it to a Vincente Minnelli musical from just the year before, Cabin in the Sky, I find myself much more drawn to the latter. It has a completely different feel and much smaller budget, but it has a more interesting plot and much better musical performances, with the one exception I mentioned. I would say try the lesser known film instead.

Once you begin listening to this song, you can't stop. Alright, who is slicing onions behind my back while I am trying to watch this. Meet me in st. louis organ ernie hayes.

Critics Consensus A disarmingly sweet musical led by outstanding performances from Judy Garland and Margaret O'Brien, Meet Me in St. Louis offers a holiday treat for all ages. 100% TOMATOMETER Total Count: 33 87% Audience Score User Ratings: 37, 016 Meet Me In St. Louis Ratings & Reviews Explanation Meet Me In St. Louis Photos Movie Info Sally Benson's short stories about the turn-of-the-century Smith family of St. Louis were tackled by a battalion of MGM screenwriters, who hoped to find a throughline to connect the anecdotal tales. After several false starts (one of which proposed that the eldest Smith daughter be kidnapped and held for ransom) the result was the charming valentine-card musical Meet Me in St. Louis. The plot hinges on the possibility that Alonzo Smith (Leon Ames) the family's banker father, might uproot the Smiths to New York, scuttling his daughter Esther (Judy Garland) s romance with boy-next-door John Truett (Tom Drake) and causing similar emotional trauma for the rest of the household. In a cast that includes Mary Astor as Ames' wife, Lucille Bremer as another Ames daughter, and Marjorie Main as the housekeeper, the most fascinating character is played by 6-year-old Margaret O'Brien. As kid sister Tootie, O'Brien seems morbidly obsessed with death and murder, burying her dolls, killing" a neighbor at Halloween (she throws flour in the flustered man's face on a dare) and maniacally bludgeoning her snowmen when Papa announces his plans to move to New York. Margaret O'Brien won a special Oscar for her remarkable performance, prompting Lionel Barrymore to grumble "Two hundred years ago, she would have been burned at the stake. The songs are a heady combination of period tunes and newly minted numbers by Ralph Blane and Hugh Martin, the best of which are The Boy Next Door, The Trolley Song, and Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas. As a bonus, Meet Me in St. Louis is lensed in rich Technicolor, shown to best advantage in the climactic scenes at the St. Louis World's Fair of 1904.

Divided into a series of seasonal vignettes, starting with Summer 1903, it relates the story of a year in the life of the Smith family in St. Louis, leading up to the opening of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition (more commonly referred to as the World's Fair) in the spring of 1904. [4] 5] The picture stars Judy Garland, Margaret O'Brien, Mary Astor, Lucille Bremer, Tom Drake, Leon Ames, Marjorie Main, June Lockhart, and Joan Carroll. The film was adapted by Irving Brecher and Fred F. Finklehoffe from a series of short stories by Sally Benson, originally published in The New Yorker magazine under the title "5135 Kensington" and later in novel form as Meet Me in St. Louis. The film was directed by Vincente Minnelli, who met Garland on the set and later married her. It was the second-highest grossing picture of the year, only behind Going My Way. [6] In 1994, the film was deemed "culturally significant" by the Library of Congress and selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry. Garland debuted the standards " The Trolley Song. The Boy Next Door" and " Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas. all of which became hits after the film was released. Arthur Freed, the producer of the film, also wrote and performed one of the songs. Plot [ edit] Margaret O'Brien and Judy Garland in Meet Me in St. Louis The backdrop for the film is St. Louis, Missouri in the year leading up to the 1904 World's Fair. It is summer 1903. The Smith family leads a comfortable upper-middle class life. Alonzo Smith ( Leon Ames) and his wife Anna ( Mary Astor) have four daughters: Rose ( Lucille Bremer) Esther ( Judy Garland) Agnes ( Joan Carroll) and Tootie ( Margaret O'Brien) and a son, Lon Jr. (Henry H. Daniels, Jr. Esther, the second eldest daughter, is in love with the boy next door, John Truitt ( Tom Drake) although he does not notice her at first. Rose is expecting a phone call during which she hopes to be proposed to by Warren Sheffield (Robert Sully) and is embarrassed when not only does Warren fail to propose, but the entire family is present as she takes the call during dinner. Esther finally gets to meet John properly when he is a guest at the Smiths' house party, although her chances of romancing him don't go as planned when, after all the guests are gone and he is helping her turn off the gas lamps throughout the house, he tells her she uses the same perfume as his grandmother and that she has "a mighty strong grip for a girl. " Esther hopes to meet John again the following Friday on a trolley ride from the city to the construction site of the World's Fair. Esther is sad when the trolley sets off without any sign of him, but cheers up when she sees him running to catch the trolley mid-journey. On Halloween, Tootie returns home injured, claiming that John Truitt attacked her. Without bothering to investigate, Esther confronts John, physically attacking him and scolding him for being a "bully. When Esther returns home, Tootie confesses that what really happened was that John was trying to protect Tootie and Agnes from the police after a dangerous prank they pulled went wrong. Upon learning the truth, Esther immediately dashes to John's house next door to apologize, and they share their first kiss. Mr. Smith announces to the family that he is to be sent to New York City on business and they will all move after Christmas. The family is devastated and upset at the news of the move, especially Rose and Esther whose romances, friendships, and educational plans are threatened. Esther is also aghast because they will miss the World's Fair. An elegant ball takes place on Christmas Eve. Esther is devastated when John cannot take her as his date, due to his leaving his tuxedo at the tailor's and being unable to get it back. She is relieved, however, when her grandfather ( Harry Davenport) offers to take her to the ball instead. At the ball, Esther and Rose plot to ruin the evening of Warren's date and Rose's rival Lucille Ballard ( June Lockhart) by filling up her dance card with losers. But when Lucille turns out to be interested in Lon, leaving Rose and Warren together, Esther switches her dance card with Lucille's and instead dances in Lucille's place with the clumsy and awkward partners. After being rescued by Grandpa, Esther is overjoyed when John unexpectedly turns up after somehow managing to obtain a tuxedo, and the pair dance together for the rest of the evening. Later on, John proposes to Esther and she accepts, but their future is uncertain because she must still move to New York. Esther returns home to an upset Tootie. She is soothed by the poignant "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas. Tootie, however, becomes more upset at the prospect of the family's move and runs downstairs, out into the cold to destroy the snowmen they have made. Mr. Smith sees his daughter's upsetting outburst from an upstairs window. Mr. Smith later announces that the family will not leave St. Louis after all when he realizes how much the move will affect his family. Warren boldly declares his love for Rose, stating that they will marry at the first possible opportunity. On or after April 30, 1904, the family take two horse-drawn buggies to the World's Fair. The film ends that night with the entire family (including John, Lucille, and Warren) overlooking the Grand Lagoon at the center of the World's Fair just as thousands of lights illuminate the grand pavilions. Cast [ edit] Music [ edit] The musical score for the film was adapted by Roger Edens, who also served as an uncredited associate producer. Georgie Stoll conducted the orchestrations of Conrad Salinger. Some of the songs in the film are from around the time of the St. Louis Exposition. Others were written for the movie.

The lyricist, Hugh Martin, wrote opening lyrics which were deemed too depressing by Judy Garland, Tom Drake, and Vincente Minnelli (they were: Have yourself a merry little Christmas / It may be your last / Next year we may all be living in the past. so Martin changed the lyrics. (Years after the movie's release, additional lyric changes were made for Frank Sinatra, who objected to the song's generally downbeat tone.
