Summer Stock | Year: 1950 Directed: - Charles Walters classic musical fun! Without much of a storyline to support them, Gene Kelly and Judy Garland do wonders to an otherwise weak show. Being their last on-screen partnership, and Garland's last MGM film, this musical holds a special place in our hearts. Garland's spectacular number "Get Happy" blows the mind and reminds us that this is how we want to remember her and her career, and not her heartaches. Knowing that 1950 is a difficult point in Garland's life and career, watching Kelly handle her with loving care in this film is a delight to watch. His dance numbers are fantastic, as usual; and as always, he has his Kelly charm. Kelly's incomparable dancing and Garland's incomparable singing are what hold this film together. If you're a Garland and/or Kelly fan, this is a must watch! "Get Happy" and Get Summer Stock Summer Stock is a typical MGM movie. That's what makes it so good! This is the third and final teaming of Judy and Gene. I think they should have done movie movies because they were so great together in this one. Gene Kelly and Judy Garland do wonderful dances togther in this movie, and I have to say the best song is "Get Happy". The story about this song is MGM thought there wasn't enough songs in this movie so they added this one at the last minute! It turned out to be one of the best remembered songs from the film. And I promise you'll remember it too! I don't own this movie, but everytime it comes on tv, I have to watch it! That's how wonderful it is! The end... With Judy Garland struggling in her life during this time this movie holds a special place in my heart. A large fan of Judy Garland and Gene Kelly I decided to watch this one day on TCM...well lets just say from the number with Judy on the tractor to her closing Get Happy number I was hooked. I fell in love with the performances given by the two along with the rest of the cast...with some great songs...and a few not so great...it still ends up being a great movie. It's Judy's last MGM movie and her last pairing with Gene Kelly and I think it was a great ending.
