Film
Meet Me in St Louis (U)
Dir. Vincente Minnelli, US, 1944, 113 minutes.
Cast. Judy Garland, Margaret O’Brien, Mary Astor.
As the final film in our mini Judy-Fest we have chosen perhaps the most perfect Christmas film. Directed by Vincente Minnelli, Garland’s then-husband, and she never looked or sounded lovelier. In the year before the 1904 St Louis World’s Fair, the four Smith daughters learn lessons of life and love, even as they prepare for a reluctant move to New York. This beloved musical is renowned for the debut of many standards by Garland including The Trolley Song, The Boy Next Door, and if you don’t sob your eyes out at Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas then you clearly have a heart of stone.
Screening on Saturday 28th will be a Relaxed Screening, where we leave the house lights on slightly and people can talk (or sing we hope!) and move around. Open to everyone!
We're holding Relaxed Screenings in December in collaboration with Moments Café. Based in the heart of Plymouth City Centre, Moments Café offers a place to meet, eat and socialise. They are a Social Enterprise, where all of their profits go towards helping to sustain Memory Matters.
