God Yahweh loves and offers Salvation Only by Faith in Jesus and His Sacrifice, because we are sinners and deserve hell, but God the Father who is Great in Mercy sent His Son Christ Jesus to die in our place (As it is written in Isaiah 53 , Daniel 9...), and with His Birth, Life, Death and Resurrection He gives us Life, because He is God (as it is written in Isaiah that He is a Mighty God, in Micah that He is Eternal...), and when He dies instead of us, He who is Perfect pays our sin, only by Faith in Jesus and His Sacrifice, there is no other way, no other, and He Resurrected because He is God and He is True, and because of His Resurrection we have Hope to Resurrect ourselves too The Wrath of God fell on Him, so that it would not fall on us, and He offers us Salvation Only by Faith, because our works of justice are like filthy rags before a God Three Times Holy, God bless you....

In a way, this predicted the future by becoming the fashion trend starter for young people.

Would absolutely tear it up at a party like this

I remember renting this video from my local library as they had shown it on PBS and I just had to rewatch it. Love seeing this movie each year.

One of Garland‘s best performances! During the filming of Meet Me in St. Louis, Garland and Minnelli had an initial falling out, but they soon started a relationship and married on June 15, 1945. Liza arrived in 1946!

I wish an entire orchestra section cued in when I sing and dance to this at my house!

My mother was born in 1920. She grew up in a rural area, and once recalled that when she was a teenager, parties were called "play parties". A fiddler would go to a house, play for a while, then he or she and the young people at that house (and possibly another musician) would go to the next house, and then to the next house, picking up people along the way, etc. The last house on the stop was of course filled with people. For folks in rural areas, life in the 1930's really wasn't much different than it had been for people in 1903.

Judy was so beautiful. And her pure voice

Larry 💙💚

My great grandma went to a party just like this in the 50s she loved it

Every time I see this marvelous film, I ache with a desire to enter the screen and join the Smiths and their friends at their party. When Woody Allen built a whole film around that idea in "The Purple Rose of Cairo", he was speaking to a widely felt human desire to enter idealized moments created in dramatic art. I've seen theater productions where ensemble dance numbers on stage were so joyous that the happiness was infectious -- just as with the Smiths' party, you could FEEL the audience straining at the leash to go up on stage and join in the fun. THAT'S entertainment!

Judy was gorgeous in this film ❤

The Technicolor is absolutely gorgeous. It was an expensive process but the results are stunning. If you haven't noticed, often today's films are very dark and smokey. They have a dystopian feel to them. This reflects our very pessimistic and ugly attitude as opposed to the bright, colorful and positive film presentation of Americans in the midst of the greatest war in human history. And, of course, we are the ones drowning in our own affluence and obesity.

Also, you have to consider that in that time Hollywood was being run by conservatives, who tend to be happier and more optimistic because they believe in a higher being (i.e., religious). Liberals took over in the late 1960s (aka New Hollywood) which is when sex/nudity, violence, and profanity started becoming commonplace in films. The reason why movies have gotten grim and depressing in recent years is because Hollywood has been usurped by leftist radicals (i.e., 'woke') who tend to be atheists and pessimistic (and unpatriotic). The only way you will see positive, hopeful films again is if and when Hollywood pivots back toward the right. Perhaps conservatives will recapture Hollywood in the 21st century? In fact, Hollywood was rather liberal during the silent film era, and the content got increasingly dark and risqué with the advent of sound in the late 1920s. This short period (c. 1927-1934) is known as Pre-Code Hollywood and scandalized society, which is why/how religious conservatives seized control in the 1930s via the Motion Picture Production Code (aka Hays Code) and reigned supreme for the next three decades (aka Hollywood's Golden Age).

I wish I lived in this time and I was friends with Judy Garland she is absolutely amazing I'm her number one fan.... I feel so bad for her that she had to live the way she did her mom just used her as a cash cow and her mom is responsible for her pill addiction and MGM had no problem giving her pills to all they cared about was her voice and didn't give a crap about her emotional or mental well-being there will never be a Judy Garland she is one of the best actress/singer the entertainment industry has ever had
