Meet Me in St. Louis (Warner Home Video) -- Rad Bennett

Though most people would pick an extrovert dance moment or a hard-sell song as most memorable, the way I remember Garland best is in a quiet situation. When singing the song "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas," she pulls back a scarf that has been covering her head and the camera lovingly catches her full face, bathing it in soft Technicolor glow. Never did Judy look so angelic or appealing, the real dream girl next door. It is an unforgettable moment of impressive cinematic magic.

So many of Judy Garland's movies could be viewed as unintentional autobiographies -- think of the poor country girl transported to a magical, colorful land that hides a darker heart, and you could either be picturing Garland or Dorothy Gale, her most famous role. Hollywood legend has it that young Esther Blodgett's transformation into the glamorous "Vicki Lester" was inspired by Judy's own experiences preparing for The Wizard of Oz. If this is so, it's no wonder that poor country girl had such a hard time in the overbearing land of magic.

Janet Gaynor, Judy Garland, and Barbara Streisand all had a shot at this melodramatic role of a young woman starting a career as an entertainer, marrying a famous man, and ending up with greater fame than her husband. I don’t want to give away the story, but Judy Garland never tugged harder on the heartstrings (except, maybe, in The Wizard of Oz) than when she walked up to a microphone at the end of the movie and introduced herself. See if it doesn’t bring a tear to your eye.
