I adore MEET ME IN ST. LOUIS & Judy Garland is a favorite of mine, but I don't think the songs move the plot of the movie along. True, the Boy Next Door shows her fellings, but you could already kinda tell?
Someone told me that MEET ME IN ST. LOUIS only had 3 original songs? I don't know if that's true or not? I guess the trolly song, boy next door, and I'll be home for Christmas? That surprised me cause I thought of it as a musical with a lot of songs, haha, a lot of singing but not songs, I guess?
