Meet Me in St. Louis, American musical film, released in 1944, that provided Judy Garland with one of the best roles of her career, as well as several of her signature songs. Judy Garland (right) and Margaret O'Brien in Meet Me in St. Louis (1944). © 1944 Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Inc. ; photograph from a private collection Read More on This Topic Vincente Minnelli: Films of the later 1940s: Meet Me in St. Louis, The Clock, and The Pirate Minnelli then directed Meet Me in St. Louis (1944), regarded by many as one of the greatest film musicals and as… The film, set in St. Louis, Mo., follows the Smith family in the days leading up to the 1904 World’s Fair. The two eldest daughters grapple with life, love, and their dread of the family’s impending move to New York City. Louis contains a number of hit songs, from the upbeat “ Trolley Song” to the beautiful but sombre “ Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas. ” Garland, under contract at MGM, was initially opposed to starring in this sentimental family tale. The part required her to portray a teenager, and, at age 21, she longed to be rid of the juvenile roles in which she had traditionally been cast. She finally relented when director Vincente Minnelli convinced her the film would be a highlight in her career. Not only was Garland pleased with the finished production, but she also fell in love with and married Minnelli. Largely for her impressive performance as the youngest Smith child, Margaret O’Brien received a special Academy Award for outstanding child actress of 1944.

I saw this film on my mother's recommendation, and my mother's recommendations are usually quite good. Not this time. Feh! This was a lousy movie. Allow me to proudly stand with the elite minority who see this film as dreck. "Just when St. Louis was going to be the center of attention of the entire universe... " Clang, clang, clang went the trolley Ding, ding, ding went the bell Zing, zing, zing went my heartstrings As we started for Huntington Dell. ? "The Trolley Song" A classic 1944 musical adapted from the stories of Sally Benson, Meet Me in St. Louis was directed by Vincente Minnelli and starred his future wife, Judy Garland. It follows the lives of the Smith family, who live in St. Louis during the turn of the century. In particular, it follows the second-eldest daughter, Esther, her youngest sister Tootie, and Esther's crush, John. Everyone is excited with the coming of the 1904 World's fair; however, that all changes when Mr. Smith announces that the family might be uprooted to New York. A Screen-to-Stage Adaptation went to Broadway in 1989. This film features examples of: Adorably Precocious Child: Tootie is only five and has a strange obsession with play-acting that her dolls die of fatal diseases and holding funerals for them. She also apparently buries them in the cemetery. Adorkable: Esther's crush, John Truitt. He's an exceptionally nice and well-mannered young man, but he tends to be a bit awkward, or accidentally put his foot in his mouth. His first time alone with Esther, he compliments her perfume, and when she tells him what it is, he remarks "Exactly the kind my grandmother uses! " When they shake hands as he's leaving, his awkward parting words are, "You've got a mighty strong grip, for a girl! " All There in the Manual: According to the script (and a line at the Winter Ball), Grandpa's last name is Prophater, making him Anna's father and not Alonso's. Aluminum Christmas Trees: Alonso makes reference to a baseball team called the Baltimore Orioles. They weren't Major League in 1903, but they were a AAA team. They'd become Major League in 1954. Ambiguous Innocence: Tootie and Agnes, the youngest of the Smith family, certainly qualify. When Katie, the family's cook, tells Agnes that she kicked her cat down the cellar stairs, Agnes cries, "If you've killed her, I'll kill you! I'll stab you to death in your sleep and tie you to two wild horses 'til you're pulled apart! " It's obvious that she would never actually attempt this, but while she is a sweet and mostly ordinary girl, she seems to have a keen interest in gore and graphic violence, and it's rather troubling at times. She even hopes aloud that Rose got her a hunting knife for Christmas. Tootie, meanwhile, loves to play with her dolls like any normal child, but she also likes to say that they have "four fatal diseases" so that they can "die" and she can give them "beautiful funerals" and bury them in the graveyard. When Mr. Smith announces that they'll be moving, she comments, "It'll take a week to dig up all my dolls from the cemetery! " She also apparently has a plan to dig a tunnel into a neighbour's yard just so that she can grab her legs when she's walking past. Their mischievousness crosses into the territory of Enfant Terrible when they stuff a dress to make it look like a body and put it on the streetcar tracks to see what will happen. Tootie gets injured when Esther's crush, John, tries to hide her and Agnes from the police. Then Tootie even tries a Wounded Gazelle Gambit to get out of trouble, claiming that John tried to kill her. Even when the family discovers what really happened from Agnes, both the girls get off scot-free. Tootie doesn't even get punished for lying about John. Anguished Declaration of Love: Having finally made up his mind about his feelings for Rose, Warren decides to make them known by bursting into her house after midnight on Christmas morning and loudly declaring in front of her entire family that "We are to be married at the earliest opportunity and I don't want to hear any argument about it! " Rose is overjoyed, but doesn't get to say a single word in reply before Warren storms back out. Artistic Licence - Geography: Mountains can occasionally be seen in some shots. St Louis is on the prairie and does not have any mountains. "The Trolley Song" gives the World's Fair location as Huntington Park. It was actually Forest Park. Artistic Licence ? History: The film takes place in 1903 and opens with several characters singing the song "Meet Me in St Louis", which wasn't written until 1904. Tootie likewise sings a bit of the hymn "Brighten the Corner Where You Are", which wasn't written until 1913. John says that he and Esther are "almost" the legal age to marry without their parents' consent. They are seventeen, but in Missouri at the time, the marrying age was fifteen. Betty and Veronica: Subverted. While she certainly is "alluring and exotic", Lucille turns out to be a nice and mature person ? arguably the most mature of the group ? and lets Rose have Warren because she knows it's her he's interested in. It really doesn't hurt that Lucille herself is much more interested in Rose's brother Lon. Broken Tears: At Christmas, while Esther is singing "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas", Tootie realizes how much she's going to miss St. Louis, and has a full-blown meltdown where she runs out of the house in tears and starts destroying all the snow people they had made, because she can't take them with her to New York. Christmas Songs: Introduced that standard, "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas. " Cool Old Guy: Grandpa. He sings (and dances! ) along to "Meet Me In St. Louis", he's more cheerful and optimistic than his son, he knows how to comfort Esther when she doesn't have a date to the dance, he's fun-loving, gives the younger girls advice on how to make the flour stick to their trick-or-treat victims, and he is more tolerant and willing to humor his grandchildren than their father is. Costume Porn: A lot of lavish dresses, particularly on Esther and Rose. In the scene of the World's Fair, Agnes and Tootie get to be dressed up in plenty of frills and bows as well. Crappy Holidays: The Smiths' Christmas is under a pall due to the family's imminent move to New York. Ultimately subverted when Mr. Smith announces they're staying in St. Louis after all, followed by Warren proposing to Rose. Deadpan Snarker: Almost everybody gets some snark in at least once. Grandpa uses it very effectively to comment on the entire family keeping a secret from Mr. Smith alone: "Your papa's not supposed to know. It's enough we're letting him work hard every day to support the whole flock of us. He can't have everything. " Katie gets in on the Deadpan Snarker game frequently. (See Servile Snarker. ) Double Standard: Abuse, Female on Male: Subverted. Esther attacks John when she thinks he attacked Tootie. When she discovers Tootie lied, she's incredibly guilty and apologises, and John shows her all the injuries she caused. It's glossed over after that scene though. Fiery Redhead: Esther, with her reddish-blonde hair, is a bit tomboyish, very protective of her sisters (to the point of beating up her crush because she thought he hurt one of them) and very spirited. Fix Fic: In real life Sally Benson's family did move to New York, instead of the last minute change of heart depicted in the film. Girl Next Door: Inverted, as the girl is the main character and sings about "The Boy Next Door. " Halloween Episode: There's a whole Halloween scene for the "Autumn 1903" bit. Happily Married: Lon and Anna Smith, played by Leon Ames and Mary Astor. They share an incredibly lovely duet called "You and I" just to drive the point home. Have a Gay Old Time: The line Make the Yuletide gay, from "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas". Hollywood Costuming: Although the costumes themselves are fairly accurate to the time period, Rose and Esther wear their hair down at a lot of social gatherings when girls of their age would surely have worn it up, as pretty much every other woman in the film does. Hypocritical Humor: Rose is not pleased with Esther drawing attention to her relationship with Warren by trying to make sure everybody's out of the room when he calls, and haughtily declares, "When you get to be my age, you'll realize that there are more important things in life than boys! " This becomes amusing in hindsight, as it becomes clear that Rose is by far the more boy-crazy one. She also claims she doesn't care about Warren's phone call, but then starts crying when it seems that she's missed it. Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Mr. Smith. He can be, as he puts it, "a little bombastic" when things aren't going his way. But it's also shown very clearly that he genuinely loves every member of his family, and this scene reveals what a softie he can be: Mr. Smith: Anna, I'm curious ? just when was I voted out of this family? Mrs. Smith: Oh, Lon, really now. Mr. Smith: What else am I to think? My eldest daughter is practically on her honeymoon and everybody knows about it but me! In view of this family's refusal to let me in on their little intrigues, I'll handle the telephone in my own way! From now on, I'll take all incoming calls! [telephone rings] [beat] Mr. Smith: …Rose, you answer that. Informed Poverty: Mr. Smith's income alone is apparently enough to support a family of seven (plus a cat), and pay for a live-in maid, in a house that's large by almost any standard, with enormous, luxurious rooms, good furniture, lots of decor, a large yard, etc. The family doesn't seem to want for anything, and doesn't appear to be struggling; they host parties, attend parties, wear good clothes, send the oldest to college, go to the St. Louis World's Fair, etc., without any implication that these expenses will cause financial difficulty. Yet, when Agnes asks why they wouldn't be living in a house in New York, Rose replies, " Rich people live in houses. People l
Meet me in st louis halloween scene. Meet me in st. louis 75th anniversary event. I like how this is in my recommendations for no apparent reason right now. All the machinations with the two sisters' romances are ridiculous, because these women are *so* concerned about winning the affections of these absolute *nothings. I mean the male romantic objects are so bland, lifeless, ordinary, it's absolutely impossible to see what these women see in them. One of them has so little function in the movie he's more of a prop than a character. The other is, frankly, a wuss. That may be the worse romance, because Judy Garland's character is clearly made out to be the belle of the ball, who can get pretty much any man around that she wants. And yet all she wants is that nebish next door. Feh, and feh again.Meet me in st. louis tcm. Meet me in st. louis musical song list. Meet me in st. louis home. Meet me in st. louis songs.

Finklehoffe Story by Sally Benson Starring Judy Garland Margaret O'Brien Mary Astor Lucille Bremer Tom Drake Marjorie Main Cinematography George J. Folsey Editing by Albert Akst Distributed by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Release date(s) November 28, 1944 Running time 113 minutes Country United States Language English Meet Me in St. Louis is a 1944 musical film from Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer which tells the story of an American family living in St. Louis at the time of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition World's Fair in 1904. [ 1] [ 2] It stars Judy Garland, Margaret O'Brien, Mary Astor, Lucille Bremer, Tom Drake, Leon Ames, Marjorie Main, June Lockhart, and Joan Carroll. The movie 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, and later in the novel 5135 Kensington. 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. [ citation needed] Garland debuted the standards " The Trolley Song " and " Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas ", which both became hits after the film was released. Arthur Freed, the producer of the film, also wrote and performed one of the songs. Plot The backdrop for Meet Me in St. Louis is St. Louis, Missouri on the brink of the 1904 World's Fair. The Smith family lead a comfortable middle-class life. Mr. Alonzo Smith (Leon Ames) and Mrs. Anna Smith (Mary Astor) have four daughters: Rose (Lucille Bremer), Esther, Agnes, and Tootie; and a son, Lon Jr. (Henry H. Daniels, Jr. ) Esther, the second eldest daughter (Judy Garland), 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 in which she hopes to be proposed to by Warren Sheffield (Robert Sully). 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 to plan 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". On Halloween, Tootie (Margaret O'Brien) 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 (Joan Carroll) 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 on business and eventually they will all move. 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. But she is relieved when her grandfather (Harry Davenport) offers to take her instead. At the ball, Esther fills up a visiting girl's (Lucille Ballard, played by June Lockhart) dance card with losers because she thinks Lucille is a rival of Rose's. But when Lucille turns out to be interested in Lon, Esther switches her dance card with Lucille's and instead dances herself with the clumsy and awkward partners. After being rescued by Grandpa, she is overwhelmed 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. Esther returns home to an upset Tootie. She sings her "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas. " Tootie, however, does become more upset at the prospect of the family's move and runs downstairs, out into the cold to destroy the snowmen they have made. 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 realises how much the move will affect his family. Warren declares his love for Rose, stating that they will marry at the first possible opportunity. And all of the family finally are able to attend the World's Fair. The film ends at night with the entire family (including boyfriends-to-turn-into-presumed-husbands and Lon's new love interest) overlooking the fresh new lake at the center of the World's Fair just as the lights come up on the entire fair. Cast Music 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. " Meet Me in St. Louis, Louis " Kerry Mills and Andrew B.

Reception Upon its 1944 release, Time called it "one of the year's prettiest pictures"; " Technicolor has seldom been more affectionately used than in its registrations of the sober mahoganies and tender muslins and benign gaslights of the period. Now & then, too, the film gets well beyond the charm of mere tableau for short flights in the empyrean of genuine domestic poetry. These triumphs are creditable mainly to the intensity and grace of Margaret O'Brien and to the ability of Director Minelli & Co. to get the best out of her. " [ 3] The film is a New York Times Critics' Pick: after seeing it at the Astor Theatre, Bosley Crowther called it a "a warm and beguiling picturization based on Sally Benson's memoirs of her folks. " [ 4] Crowther concludes: "As a comparable screen companion to Life With Father, we would confidently predict that Meet Me in St. Louis has a future that is equally bright. In the words of one of the gentlemen, it is a ginger-peachy show. " In 2005, Richard Schickel included the film on 's ALL-TIME 100 best films, saying "It had wonderful songs [and] a sweetly unneurotic performance by Judy spite its nostalgic charm, Minnelli infused the piece with a dreamy, occasionally surreal, darkness and it remains, for some of us, the greatest of American movie musicals. " [ 5] Accolades The film was nominated for Academy Awards for Best Cinematography, Color, Best Music, Scoring of a Musical Picture, Best Music, Song (Ralph Blane and Hugh Martin for "The Trolley Song") and Best Writing, Screenplay. Margaret O'Brien received an Academy Juvenile Award for her work that year, in which she appeared in several movies along with Meet Me in St. Louis. In 1994, the film has been deemed "culturally significant" by the Library of Congress and selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry. The American Film Institute ranked the film 10th on AFI's Greatest Movie Musicals; two songs from the film made AFI's 100 Years... 100 Songs ("The Trolley Song" at #26 and "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" at #76). Trivia Judy Garland at first refused to appear in the film because she felt she had played too many childish roles and wanted to play an adult. [ citation needed] She was also afraid that Margaret O'Brien would steal the film. After a talk with Vincente Minnelli, Garland finally agreed to play the role of Esther Smith. Later, she considered the role her favorite among her films. The lyrics for "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" were originally different. The lyricist, Hugh Martin, wrote lyrics which referred to the soldiers fighting during World War Two. Judy Garland thought the song as written was too mean to sing to Margaret O'Brien, so he changed the lyrics. Further revisions were made when Frank Sinatra objected to the generally downbeat tone of the piece. The revised version is the one most commonly performed. Producer Arthur Freed, fearing the movie was running too long, originally wanted to delete the Halloween sequence during the second act of the film. [ citation needed] His reasoning for cutting the scene was based on the fact that it was an entity in itself and could be excised from the film without much difficulty. However, after showing the film to test audience reaction in previews, it was found that audiences loved the scene. So Freed was forced to look elsewhere for a scene to cut, ultimately deciding to cut

Meet me in st. louis cakewalk pics. There's so much wrong with it, I hardly know where to start. The plot, if you can even call it that, is so paper thin and obvious as to be a joke. The *instant* that the father announces the move to New York, it is transparent exactly what's going to happen with that. I'm not one to try to out-think a movie while I'm watching it, I seldom pre-figure-out what's going to happen. But in this case, before the father was even done explaining the move, it was painfully obvious that the family would get all weepy about it and eventually he would relent. It was hardly even worth the trouble of going through the motions of carrying out that bit of "story.

Reception Upon its 1944 release, Time called it "one of the year's prettiest pictures"; " Technicolor has seldom been more affectionately used than in its registrations of the sober mahoganies and tender muslins and benign gaslights of the period. Now & then, too, the film gets well beyond the charm of mere tableau for short flights in the empyrean of genuine domestic poetry. These triumphs are creditable mainly to the intensity and grace of Margaret O'Brien and to the ability of Director Minelli & Co. to get the best out of her. " [ 3] The film is a New York Times Critics' Pick: after seeing it at the Astor Theatre, Bosley Crowther called it a "a warm and beguiling picturization based on Sally Benson's memoirs of her folks. " [ 4] Crowther concludes: "As a comparable screen companion to Life With Father, we would confidently predict that Meet Me in St. Louis has a future that is equally bright. In the words of one of the gentlemen, it is a ginger-peachy show. " In 2005, Richard Schickel included the film on 's ALL-TIME 100 best films, saying "It had wonderful songs [and] a sweetly unneurotic performance by Judy spite its nostalgic charm, Minnelli infused the piece with a dreamy, occasionally surreal, darkness and it remains, for some of us, the greatest of American movie musicals. " [ 5] Accolades The film was nominated for Academy Awards for Best Cinematography, Color, Best Music, Scoring of a Musical Picture, Best Music, Song (Ralph Blane and Hugh Martin for "The Trolley Song") and Best Writing, Screenplay. Margaret O'Brien received an Academy Juvenile Award for her work that year, in which she appeared in several movies along with Meet Me in St. Louis. In 1994, the film has been deemed "culturally significant" by the Library of Congress and selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry. The American Film Institute ranked the film 10th on AFI's Greatest Movie Musicals; two songs from the film made AFI's 100 Years... 100 Songs ("The Trolley Song" at #26 and "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" at #76). Trivia Judy Garland at first refused to appear in the film because she felt she had played too many childish roles and wanted to play an adult. [ citation needed] She was also afraid that Margaret O'Brien would steal the film. After a talk with Vincente Minnelli, Garland finally agreed to play the role of Esther Smith. Later, she considered the role her favorite among her films. The lyrics for "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" were originally different. The lyricist, Hugh Martin, wrote lyrics which referred to the soldiers fighting during World War Two. Judy Garland thought the song as written was too mean to sing to Margaret O'Brien, so he changed the lyrics. Further revisions were made when Frank Sinatra objected to the generally downbeat tone of the piece. The revised version is the one most commonly performed. Producer Arthur Freed, fearing the movie was running too long, originally wanted to delete the Halloween sequence during the second act of the film. [ citation needed] His reasoning for cutting the scene was based on the fact that it was an entity in itself and could be excised from the film without much difficulty. However, after showing the film to test audience reaction in previews, it was found that audiences loved the scene. So Freed was forced to look elsewhere for a scene to cut, ultimately deciding to cut

Meet me in st. louis cakewalk pics. There's so much wrong with it, I hardly know where to start. The plot, if you can even call it that, is so paper thin and obvious as to be a joke. The *instant* that the father announces the move to New York, it is transparent exactly what's going to happen with that. I'm not one to try to out-think a movie while I'm watching it, I seldom pre-figure-out what's going to happen. But in this case, before the father was even done explaining the move, it was painfully obvious that the family would get all weepy about it and eventually he would relent. It was hardly even worth the trouble of going through the motions of carrying out that bit of "story.
