Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaOn one particular day of filming, when it became apparent that Judy Garland was not fit to work, Gene Kelly reputedly feigned an injury of his own so that she would be able to take the day off. Kelly had remained devoted to Garland since she guided him through his paces in the making of his very first film, For Me and My Gal (1942).
- GoofsWhen Abigail and Orville are rushing back to the farm, the backdrop is of an open road. When Abigail shouts for Orville to look out, the camera pans out to reveal that they were driving through a town.
- Quotes
Joe D. Ross: We're trying to tell a story with music, and song, and dance. Well, not just with words. For instance, if the boy tells the girl that he loves her, he just doesn't say it, he sings it.
Jane Falbury: Why doesn't he just say it?
Joe D. Ross: Why? Oh, I don't know, but it's kind of nice.
- ConnectionsEdited into American Masters: Gene Kelly: Anatomy of a Dancer (2002)
Featured review
Bright Musical
To look at "Summer Stock" you wouldn't think there were any challenges. Everyone seems to be having a happy time.
The remarkable thing is how Judy Garland's weight problems, due to over eating and drugs, were covered up. She looks fresh and bubbly, along with here co-star, Gene Kelly, who was pushing 40, and hankering to get on to more ambitious film projects.
The two are perfectly paired and, with the comedy of Phil Silvers and "other woman" of Gloria DeHaven, this musical comes off swimmingly.
I really love Judy's renditions of the joyous "Hello, Neighbor," the lovely "Friendly Star," and the show-stopping, "Get Happy." Her voice is in fine condition, and is a pleasure to hear. Kelly dances up a storm, and the entire production smiles with good cheer.
As one of Judy's songs go, "If You Feel Like Singing . . . Sing!" She does, and we are the lucky recipients.
