@whateverworks555 Well ha ha come on I just saw MMISL for the first time and I LOVE JUDY GARLAND!!! My mom resembles her doe eyes etc. I like this better than the sound of music so yeah i'd rather be a part of this family the Smith family than the Von Trapp's. Lol ha ha the sound of music is too long.
@cinderelmo agreed :-) i love this movie & want to be part of this family & ester smith is a great character portrayed by an amazing actress & singer! <3
whoa! what an extremely sad, desperate child! something needs to be done to console her, to bring her back to a more objective reality. she must have been lost in the shuffle.
(that's a message to today's parents who don't respect their child's emotions)
I still love watching this scene around Christmas time. Nobody can touch Judy Garland's performance of this song. The scene afterwards touches me every time.
Wonderfully made film in every respect. Another scene I love from that film is the Halloween in the neighborhood.He had a talent of bringing out the best in the actors and the colors are so rich.
Another great Minnelli film is "The Long Long Trailer" with Lucy and Dezi. They were in top form and they both really shine. There's hardly anybody else in the film!
"the dead ones, too." God, I love this clip. It's so painful to watch, because I've so many wonderful, and so many painful Christmases in my life. I imagine all of us have.
Oh good lord ... have you heard what that apparently nice (but patently deluded) little man, Chris Martin, from "Coldplay" has done to this? Judy ... come back ... you never did anything for which you needed to be forgiven in the first place ... but come back ... all is, well, not what it should be anymore!!! And you boy, are we missing your talent ...
I can only think of the valiant men and women watching this either in a hastily set up USO tent in France a few miles behind the lines, or deep in the bowels of a carrier in the Pacific under constant threat of Kamakazi attack.
These, and a thousand other places they fought to protect us. How this must have resonated with these heros.
My deepest regard for giving us this extended, always moving, magic scene.
To Hines221...Thank you for your comments about the lyrical revisions (Original vs. Modern), and reminding us of the Song/Movie release (1944 & WWII still raging). Ralph Blane wrote the music, with lyrics written by Hugh Martin. We tend to forget how current events of the day, do inspire or affect the Creative Process. Isn't it ironic...the Generation of 1944 (and since the beginning of time) wanted the same things as the Generation of 2011..."WORLD PEACE".
Um. That sentiment (WORLD PEACE) isn't motivated by altruism as you may naively assume. It is motivated by the oldest and most powerful of emotions: self interest. Or as you may know it thru the popular press, greed. Merry Christmas
Compare the lyrics of this to the 'modern' version. This is darker. Original: "Next year all our troubles . . ." vs. Modern: "From now on our troubles . . .". and, darker, Original: "Someday soon we all will be together, if the fates allow; until then we'll have to muddle through somehow." vs Modern: "Through the years we all will be together, if the fates allow, hang a shining star upon the highest bough". Don't forget, this movie was released in 1944 and WWII was still raging.
@hines221 Woah, after reading your comment, I just realised all the lyrics are very relevant to WWII. It also makes me realise how much emotion Judy puts into this performance.
@hines221 Hear, hear! I like the original version much better, and I keep trying to get our quartet to sing the original words, but I'm continually voted down. Maybe I like it more because I've seen the movie and I know the song's context within it. Or maybe the original is just altogether better and didn't need to be monkeyed with... yeah, that works for me.
I love the subtle cry in Judy's voice as she is trying to calm down Tootie because the audience knows that she doesn't want to go to NY either - she is just being a good big sister and trying to make Tootie feel better. This scene is amazing and is making me sob like a baby haha.
the smashing of the snowmen is sited as one of the early examples of the breakdown in the nuclear family and similar dark motifs that would become prevalent in 60's and 70's american horror films.
I have always wanted to make that scarf that Judy wears in this scene. Anyone know anything about it? What kind of beads were used, was it knit or crochet, etc? I have seen this about a million times.

If i'm not feeling very much in the Christmas spirit, I'll watch this clip and it gets to me every time, I love it, and it's now a part of our family's traditional Christmas celebration, thank you so much for posting this, Judy Garland was beautiful and Margaret O'Brian the cutest little girl those were the days! thanks again.
Michael Siewert, a collector of Judy Garland memorabilia from Georgia, has the red dress from this scene in his collection of Judy Garland gowns. He displayed this and many other gowns from Judy's movie & TV career at the Judy Garland birthplace in Grand Rapids, MN this weekend (June 17-18, 2011) as part of the 36th annual Judy Garland festival. The red dress is still stunning!
Hugh Martin, who wrote the music for the 1944 film "Meet Me in St Louis," has died on 3/11/11 at aged 96. In addition to this classic, were the movie were such classics as "The Trolley Song" and "The Boy Next Door."
I love this song, too. Be sure to check out Judy's other Beautiful Christmas song, "Merry Christmas," from "In the Good Old Summertime" which is my favorite.
Peace and joy to all of you during this Christmas season. :-)
I had heard this song before seeing the movie, but it never really impressed me until I heard Judy Garland Sing it. She owns this song. No one will ever sing it like she did. Merry Christmas!
@kare429 You should do I better job of reading. I said I'd heard the song before I SAW the movie, not before the movie was made. Doy. I was't born then.
Any song that Judy Garland sings,to my mind, 'always'the bestversion. We will never see talent like hers again.She lived to perform and Hollywood,bastards that they were,used and abused her.She made Millions of dollars for MGM and the word 'exploited' was never better used than with JUDY.Nicholas Schenck and Louis B Mayer owe her anEnormous debt they can never repay.Roger Edens.Arthur Freed, Harold Arlen and Mervyn Leroy tried to warn about the total exploitation of her. Brad Savage --Life fan
for me, this is the only acceptable version of this song... not even Judy covering it later in her career; it has to be from this film. nobody else comes even close to catching the melancholy, and therefore poignant, tone to this beautiful song.
The original lyrics would have been more relevant to the movie, but would have made this far from a traditional Christmas song. The original lyrics are terrible.
I would be curious as to how it sounds though with the original lyrics.
This scene could not have been crafted more beautifully. Many other singers have performed the Christmas song over the decades but no one can touch Judy Garland's version introducing the song to everyone.
Yes, and the original lyrics sound so much better than the ignorantly happy ones that most people know. A slow song like this needs a hint of wistfulness (but not the darkness that the first draft had! look it up, it would be far more akin to a bar scene (and, likely, a decidedly Norman Maine-ish character).
An amazing performance of a timeless song, plain and simple. RIP Judy Garland. And may Louis B Mayer burn in hell for all eternity! Thumbs up if you agree with me.
I'm always moved by the scene of the boy next door pulling down his blinds, causing darkness to cover Esther and Tootie, As if both Esther and her beau believe they're now to be separated forever.
This is such a great clip and a wonderful Christmas song.MsGarland sings this song with such feeling and emotion I cry every time I hear it.Love it,thank you.
It doesnt get any better than this. Clasic hollywood, Judy is a light that shines past the rest a voice that hold and spreads depth. A tru talent lost and a wonderful scene from a wonderful movie. and com on the trolly song love that too sing at least once a week on the MARTA. lol
Considering the time of this film, when America knew that the war was coming to an end, this really is one of the most poignant, yet uplifting scenes telling us all - it takes a while but it gets better.
Throughout the film I'd wanted to be just like Tootie/Margaret O'Brien. She's very funny and mischievous, a big character in a tiny little frail body, and lucky enough to be pretty AND cute (cuteness dies with age, even if beauty develops). Also it would be wonderful to have two big sisters like Judy and Lucille (or my friend Charley for that matter) looking after me like junior/senior girls do in infant playgrounds! I expect Tootie doesn't have to try very hard to earn affection, eh?
@rextony22 Her dad was going to make them move to a different country, or at least to a different city, far far away from all her friends and neighbours and acquaintances and the home and village she grew up in. My heart goes out to Tooty and to the rest of her family, for all my nineteen years I've lived in this little village that I should probably keep anonymous and feel very fortunate that I've never been forced to move.
Once Judy Garland introduced a song she automatically "owned it" and even if she sang somebody else's song she "owned" that one too. She was the Great Entertainer the World ever had. Not even Liza can capture her Mother's Unique way with a song. You can never top the original!
Esther was singing that song to Tootie to cheer her up - the dreaded day being imminent. You can see why the original words wouldn't have been very appropriate.
This is movie magic -- the great Judy Garland singing "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" to adorable little Margaret O'Brien. Such a great scene from a magnificent film. Thanks for posting the clip. :)
Isn't the red, velvet dress that Judy wore here, the one she had made for Margaret O'Brien (Tootie) because she wanted it so much? ^_^
A beautiful song and gorgeous vocals (as always) from Judy Garland. She also looked stunning here appearance wise. Margaret acted so well in this movie. The scene when she started crying was priceless.
Evidently there were changes made to the song with original words referring to certain death by this same time next year. The writer had to be convinced he was on to a classic if he'd allow for a delicate change to his work.
This is the best quality clip I've seen so far on YouTube, and it shows the ENTIRE scene. Thanks SO much for posting it! Hands down, it's the most poignant Christmas song out there. I think because I had to move so much as a child, it really gets to me.
@LESBIANGAYVIDEOS I SORT OF AGREE IN GENERAL , BUT Coldplay - Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas oldest friends version is currently my favorite BUT THAT IS JUST ME , THANKS :)
MicheleBell1 thank you for posting this. Is there a big difference between her M-G-M version of this song and her DECCA re-recording of the song? Is it true that M-G-M got worred that DECCA records was reaping the profits from some of her Movie song Hits?
Screw the Von Trapp family I want to be a part of this family the Smith family, Maria Von Trapp has nothing on Ester Smith.

My heart goes out to Tooty and to the rest of her family, for all my nineteen years I've lived in this little village that I should probably keep anonymous and feel very fortunate that I've never been forced to move.

Once Judy Garland introduced a song she automatically "owned it" and even if she sang somebody else's song she "owned" that one too. She was the Great Entertainer the World ever had. Not even Liza can capture her Mother's Unique way with a song. You can never top the original!

@Tenitra Actually - when they told her that her dog had died, little Margaret O'Brien said, enthusiastically, "Was there a lotta blood?"

This is my favorite "Meet me in St. Louis" scene. Judy sings the song so beautifully.

Esther was singing that song to Tootie to cheer her up - the dreaded day being imminent. You can see why the original words wouldn't have been very appropriate.

I cry every time. This brings back so many memories. My mom and I used to watch this together all the time when I was Tootie's age.

Judy Garland was one of a kind. There will never be another like her.

This is movie magic -- the great Judy Garland singing "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" to adorable little Margaret O'Brien. Such a great scene from a magnificent film. Thanks for posting the clip. :)

Isn't the red, velvet dress that Judy wore here, the one she had made for Margaret O'Brien (Tootie) because she wanted it so much? ^_^
A beautiful song and gorgeous vocals (as always) from Judy Garland. She also looked stunning here appearance wise. Margaret acted so well in this movie. The scene when she started crying was priceless.

Evidently there were changes made to the song with original words referring to certain death by this same time next year. The writer had to be convinced he was on to a classic if he'd allow for a delicate change to his work.

This is the best quality clip I've seen so far on YouTube, and it shows the ENTIRE scene. Thanks SO much for posting it! Hands down, it's the most poignant Christmas song out there. I think because I had to move so much as a child, it really gets to me.

MicheleBell1 thank you for posting this. Is there a big difference between her M-G-M version of this song and her DECCA re-recording of the song? Is it true that M-G-M got worred that DECCA records was reaping the profits from some of her Movie song Hits?

I Love this Christmas song too, but . . . Wow, I never really thought what the original version was like! It was depressing!
I'm so glad it was changed after all, THANKFULLY . . .
Thanks for the video (and the info)!
