The greatest fantasy film and musical (sorry, “Singin’ In The Rain”) Hollywood ever made.

So many great things about this film - too many to list here.

Judy Garland’s performance is so natural and effective it’s easy to underrate her. She holds the film together. She’s sheer perfection. As are all the other actors. Everyone is perfect in their roles. You couldn’t find a better cast film.

The music is still classic after all these years. The color, the sets, the amazing work of the directors (Victor Fleming & “King” Vidor - with an assist from George Cukor), the MGM “Studio System”, all came together to make a truly timeless film.

There’s a reason all of the images from this film are so iconic. People will be enjoying this film long after they’ve forgotten about more than half of the current top 100.
