JUDY GARLAND:THE GREATEST HOLLYWOOD GREAT. A DOCUMENTARY, PART 1/4

BBC takes us on an adventure with clips & commentary about Judy. I don't know if any documentary can begin to capture the expanse of her life & the contribution she made to entertainment. This is like peeking through a keyhole ... but the view is interesting with great clips & commentary from some rarely heard voices. Lauren Bacall, Artie Shaw, Gerald Clarke, Dirk Bogarde, Janet Leigh, Liza Minnelli, Mickey Rooney ... & Sid Luft. In particular, some very touching stories from Tony Bennett.
I personally take exception to some of the comments & interpretations, ... there are some inaccuracies ... but there is beauty here ... & wonderful clips/photos of Judy.
Gerald Clarke's book, GET HAPPY: THE LIFE OF JUDY GARLAND, will be the source of an upcoming biopic starring Anne Hathaway. From what I can tell, this documentary is also baseing some information on that same book ... & Gerald Clarke is a commentator.
Please comment. Maybe we can start a conversation here that the producers of the movie - Weinstein - will see ... I think it's important for our voice to be heard.

Judy and Mickey - the original Teen Idols

[ImInBetween]

No offence, but the BBC obviously don't know her filmography because when Judy and Mickey are singing 'Good Morning', they say it's from Girl Crazy when it's from Babes in Arms!

A brilliant documentary, I'm definately going to watch more!

I am so glad that some celebrities still love these actresses/actors

[DebsTasha45]

I don't think teenagers understand how spectacular this talent was..

@NFitalianGuy I agree, throughout the many biographies and documentaries made about Judy Garland, there have been a number of errors and/or stories that conflict. At the same time, however, I find it incredibly inappropriate (and idiotic) to claim that Lorna Luft, Judy's own daughter, has written or otherwise made false statements about her Mother. Forgive me, but how would you know? You then recommend a book by saying that Judy's FAMILY endorsed it, which they did not. Contradiction, much?

[NFitalianGuy]

It's funny that Judy's fan base knows so much more than the people who tell the story of Garland's life and many of these "documentaries" you would think these people would do their homework. Even Lorna's movie & book had many errors through out & Sid Luft commented on how inaccurate his daughter's statements were. Gerald Frank's Biography "JUDY" is by far the best & closest to the truth than any other book. Judy's entire family & friends all endorsed Mr Frank's book when it came out in the 70's

Ahh thankyou for putting this up! I had this recorded off the TV. its a good documentary, but not nearly long enough!

I must too say, that she was hooked on Benzedrin (Ampethamine) and Barbiturates with the age of ~ 15 (Often she and Mickey of course too, bouth had to stay for the camera for a movie vor 72 hours! Then get she because she can´t sleep so fast, but she must, because 4-6 hours later the movie was going on again! Then she could not get up often und get Benzedrin in the morning because she could not wake up!) and when a Child adiccted with this age, until her death was taking the pills-no way out!
