Meet me in St. Louis

1944. USA. Dir: Vincente Minnelli . With Judy Garland, Margaret O'Brien, Mary Astor. 113 min.
Nostalgic yet ever-vibrant. Sincere and romantic yet precociously morbid. Artistically sophisticated yet light and easy. Loaded with laughter and tears, color and music, from "Clang Clang Clang Went the Trolley" to "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas." If you care about cinema, you have something to celebrate tonight.
