Summer Stock (1950) coming from WAC

[Ned Brainard]

I wonder if this is the three-strip MGM musical that Feltenstein referred to in that WAC podcast a few weeks ago. This wouldn't be my first choice out of the MGM musicals. That's not to say that this is a bad film though (far from it), and I'll pick it up to support the effort of getting WAC to release more pre-widescreen era films.

I think it might be, it was certainly my guess when I heard that news so I’d like to think I was right. I agree it’s not top notch Kelly or Garland but it does contain two numbers that are absolutely iconic - the floorboard/newspaper number with Kelly, and Judy singing Come On Get Happy.
