Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas - Meet Me In St. Louis (1944) #WarnerClassics #JudyGarland #MeetMeInStLouis
About Meet Me In St. Louis (1944):
Divided into a series of seasonal vignettes, starting with Summer 1903, it relates the story of a year in the life of the Smith family in St. Louis, leading up to the opening of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition (more commonly referred to as the World's Fair) in the spring of 1904.
The movie was adapted by Irving Brecher and Fred F. Finklehoffe from a series of short stories by Sally Benson, originally published in The New Yorker magazine under the title "5135 Kensington", and later in novel form as Meet Me in St. Louis. The film was directed by Vincente Minnelli, who met Garland on the set and later married her.
Starring Judy Garland, Margaret O'Brien, Mary Astor
