Contains footage of Judy Garland and Deanna Durbin, 9 January 2002
Author: Trevor Hallatt from Sheffield

What makes this short remarkable is that it not only contains footage of Judy Garland but also Deanna Durbin (not mentioned in the credits) It was made as a showcase for young talent at MGM and led to a contract for Judy Garland, Deanna Durbin though was released and went to Universal Studios.
