A great debut for the wonderful Judy Garland!, 18 August 2000
10/10
Author: dreammaster4 from Montreal

This enchanting musical comedy is notable for being the feature film debut of 15 year old Judy Garland!It also feature Betty Grable, long before she become a Hollywood legend.

Filled with charming original song and dance numbers including three memorable stand-outs performed by Judy Garland,this funny,satirical football farce is an entertainment "touchdown"!

Genuinely Funny,most entertaining!

If you love Judy you got to see this one.She as always is perfect.

JUDY!!
