In glorious real Technicolor, this Hollywood classic is a charming portrait of a family and their life in St. Louis at the time of the 1904 World's Fair. The family is shocked when father reveals that he has been transferred to New York meaning they must leave the home they so love. Just a few of the famous tunes featured in this captivating musical are "The Trolley Song," "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas," and the title song. Judy Garland, never more gorgeous, chose this as her favorite movie role.
