December 27, 2007A classic film that captivates Judy Garland in this American musical. Some of the parts are a bit slow but the whole cast is great. I loved the two sisters who were a bit bizarre. "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" that is sang by Judy is just breathtaking and one of my favorite scenes. Most of the songs in this musical are worth remembering. 4 stars
