Hollywood Americanas are usually too saccharine for their own good, but this film's excellent script and memorable characterizations make this production one of the best family movies that came out of the dream factory. It is also one of the few musicals that is not based on a Broadway show. Judy Garland heads the impressive cast, and she never looked more beautiful than she she does here. She is at her peak as a singer, and she is astonishingly good in both her funny and dramatic moments; she's probably the most well-rounded entertainer of the century. Every song in the film is a winner (I'm partial to the "Trolley Song", though), and the color cinematography, sets and costumes are extraordinary. In fact, this an amazingly beautiful film that the whole family could enjoy. I did find the film's message a little outdated (after all this is a 1940s film about life in 1903), but that is a silly complaint when one takes in consideration what a good film this is. Possibly, Minnelli's best musical and one of Garland's finest moments on the screen. Also, tiny Margaret O'Brien's finest 2-hours.
