MEET ME IN ST LOUIS TCM Movies, 6.40pm ÌÌÌÌÌ

1944

An adorable musical, and the set on which a 22-year-old Judy Garland met her future husband, director Vincente Minnelli. A St Louis banker threatens to take his family to New York, sabotaging his daughter Esther’s (Garland) relationship with her boyfriend, and putting her sister’s nose out of joint too. Timeless songs include

The Trolley Song and Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas. The film secured Garland’s position as an all-round star.
