Movie Reviews of Summer Stock
Movie Review: LOVE IT!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Judy Garland was THEE entertainer of the 20th Century! Watching this fun-filled, tune-fest one can't believe that it was her last MGM picture (she was fired after this due to consitent tardiness and personal problems). Its amazing to watch Judy here as by this time her life was riddled with severe emotional problems. It seems impossible to be true when you see the energy, joy and love she puts into everything she does on screen. She's just marvelous!! The "Get Happy" number is a show-stopper as is her wonderful "tractor number Howdy Neighbor"! No less sensational is Gene Kelly who does some of the best dancing of his career! There's a marvelous dance with bits of newspaper that is unbelievable! The supporting cast can't be bettered with talents like Marjorie Main, Phil Silvers, Carleton Carpenter, Eddie Bracken and Gloria DeHaven. This is first rate MGM entertainment filmed at the time of the beginning of the demise of the studio system. Pure escapism at its finest, "Summer Stock" is one for the ages. Shine on Judy and Gene! I love it!Movie Review: Perfect musical confection
Summary: 5 Stars
Much has been written about the troubles on this production; how Judy's illnesses forced delay after delay...so long that even the supporting dancers would move onto other projects. None of this shows on screen. Garland's vocals are strong, and the songs she sings are memorable. Her Portland Fancy dance duet with Gene Kelly makes you wish they had more opportunities to work together; it has to be one of the top dance duets filmed at MGM. She more than keeps up with him, and it is Judy that your eye is drawn to as you watch the two of them. Her solo song, "Friendly Star" is heartbreaking, especially the tearful closeup at the end. Sure, the plot is predictable, and a little hokey at times, but with a strong supporting cast and a witty script, this delightful movie could be enjoyed over and over again. The "Get Happy" number is a fantastic showstopper that is among the most memorable and sadly, her last filmed number at MGM.Movie Review: Summer Stock 1950

Theres unusual harvest at falbury farm: beans , hay...show tunes . Its a bumper crop , too with Judy Garland (1922-1969) and Gene Kelly (1912-1996) leading all hoofing , singin and sparking . In her Final MGM musical , Garland plays Jane Falbury , a farmer owner more than a bit riled when her aspiring-actress sister (Gloria De Haven 1925 - ) showns up with a theatrical troup that wants to stage a musical in the familys barn . Any guess who becomes the shows sudden star after its lead runs off with broadway actor ! Highlights include Kellys shuffle-and-squeak "you ,Wonderful you" dance solo making use of loose boards and newspaper on the floor , Tuxedo-topped Garlands leggy "Get Happy" and a Kelly/Phil Silvers (1911-1985) country-bumkin bit of "Heavenly Music" backed by woofing canines . After a show like this , howre gonna keep these kids down on the farm . High Quality transfer . Features not remastred . RecommendedMovie Review: Finally!! Summer Stock on DVD!!

First of all I am so excitied that finally Summer Stock, (starring Judy Garland, and Gene Kelly) will now be appearing on DVD!! Now all us viewers have to do is wait. This was Judy Garland's last film at MGM under her contract before it was "canceled" her last big number was the unforgetable "Get Happy" in which she wore the top half of a tuxedo and a gorgeous black hat. Judy looks absolutely gorgeous and fit!!You might call this movie "let's put on a show theme" and it is!! One of my favorite Garland & Kelly films, believe me they are pure genius together in glorius technicolor; I give you Judy Garland, Gene Kelly, Gloria De Haven, and Phil Silvers in Metro Goldwyn Mayer's Production of.........Summer Stock 1950Movie Review: musically entertaining
Summary: 5 Stars
i love this movie, also one of my fave! it's in color, there's music, dancing and above all - a love story that goes with it. they have some songs that are catchy and cute, a load of tap dancing, freestyle movements. it's funny how they bust out in songs, but that's what they in movies back in the day and that's what makes them a classic because they rarely do that now - except in cartoons and broadway shows. one of the must have classic collections, gene kelley a good actor, dancer and singer, as well as his partner judy garland. if you like classic movies, you'll definitely like this one!
