Movie Title: In the Good Old Summertime In the Good Old Summertime is available for streaming or downloading. |
This year 2004 marks the first appearance of this large Judy Garland film (one of her last for MGM) on DVD. This film is based upon an earlier James Stewart film THE SHOP AROUND THE CORNER and was recently remade as YOU’VE GOT MAIL. This fresh restored print is an improvement over the previous VHS release. The report has been cleaned up and colors stare brighter and bolder than ever before, as we demand with 3-strip Technicolor, though there are level-headed a FEW age related artifacts explain, but I am forgiving enough to seek beyond this. In general, the novel transfer is fine. The soundtrack sounds equally as impressive and has been cleaned up very nicely for this release.

Included on the disc are trailers for this film, THE SHOP AROUND THE CORNER, and YOU’VE GOT MAIL. I really don’t know why the latter was included here, it lends nothing whatsoever to this release, and practically everyone in the country has seen it by now. There are no other “extras” to yelp of. We wish that the deleted musical number, “Last Night When We Were Young,” sung by Judy Garland, had been included as a bonus on this disc. Both the footage and soundtrack for this number survive, and it was included in the Outtakes fragment of the fourth disc of the current That’s Entertainment 4-disc boxed position, released this past October. Why wasn’t it included here?
On the whole, this is a very commendable release from Warner Home Video, but if you calm have the VHS tape there’s no staunch special reason to accelerate out and catch the DVD.

Look for an 18 month feeble Liza Minnelli during the closing scenes, making her film debut.
Despite this charming film’s misleading title the majority of the tale takes space in winter in the lead up to the Christmas season. It does however feature one of Judy Garland’s best later performances made in an all to rare trauma free moment in the unhurried 1940’s for this legendary actress/singer when her health problems were affecting her ability to fabricate before the camera. Amazingly none of that is evident in “In the Wonderful Stale Summertime”, which finds her delivering a wonderfully controlled and at times wistful performance as a young employee of a music store in turn of the century Chicago who is having a romantic letter correspondance with a penpal who addresses himself simply as “dear friend”. Given its setting of a music shop “In the Satisfactory Stale Summertime”, also offers Judy Garland a number of opportunities to reveal some ravishing musical interludes in her fresh style.

It was a stroke of genius by MGM to resolve to remake as a musical it’s earlier 1940 classic “The Shop Around the Corner” which starred James Stewart and another highly strung female performer in Margaret Sullavan. The results here are almost as effective as in the earlier film and Garland and Van Johnson accomplish a savory cloak team. Based on the play “The Shop Around the Corner “, by Miklos Laszlo, the action this time has been moved from demonstrate day Budapest to turn of the century Chicago. Indeed this resplendent film bares a strong resemblance to Garland’s earlier classic “Meet Me in St. Louis”,and here the atmosphere is objective as rich where the action centres around Oberkugen’s Music Store hurry by the memorable Otto Oberkugan (S.Z.Sakall), and his colourful group of employees in the store. Chief among them is Andrew Larkin (Van Johnson) who is a promising store clerk. Andrew however has a very prickly relationship with fresh employee Veronica Fisher (Garland) and both seem to always rep something to disagree about. However what both dont realise is that the romances they are respectively enjoying via the mail out of work hours and which have progressed from “bright topics” to exact fancy, are actually with each other! As the pen pal letter exchange deepens into treasure it is agreed that the two will meet. Andrew however sees Veronica already waiting in the restaurant and in his disappointment decides not to go in. Thinking about it longer and realising Veronica is his pen pal Andrew decides to give her a hard time about it and in a laughable space enters the restaurant and engages her in conversation considerable to Veronica’s consternation as she believes her “date”, will be due to turn up at any miniature. Aid at the store however things slowly start to thaw between the two and when Andrew gets into deep effort with Mr. Oberkugan for lending his prize violin to friend Louise (Marcia Van Dyke), for an audition he finds himself fired. The staff rally around him and its up to Otto’s long suffering secretary Nellie (Spring Byington) and Veronica to produce him gaze the error of his ways. Otto relents for his behaviour and Andrew is made the fresh manager however Veronica decides she must be the one to leave and its only during a romantic interlude alone in the darkened shop on Christmas Eve that Andrew reveals his steady esteem for her. Veronica also confesses her deep like for her veteran antagonist and the scene cuts away to the couple in a warm summer setting happily married and with a comely young two year traditional daughter (Liza Minneli) .
“In The Reliable Weak Summertime”, boasts many memorable musical numbers including the title song, “I Don’t Care”, “Keep Your Arms Around Me Honey”, the laughable “Play The Barbershop Chord”, and my personal favourite “Merry Christmas”. In all of these numbers apart from her fine singing style Judy Garland proves what an exceptional talent she was in comedy, pantomine and more energic pieces such as the barbershop number. Here is a talented actress in the chubby bloom of her capabilities who was unfortunately objective about to exit the musical movie stage for quite some time. The supporting cast is exceptional with such blooming silly talents as S.Z. Sakall and Spring Byington providing the top level befriend that they delivered in film after film in this period. Some rarities also pop up in “In The Wonderful Frail Summertime”, as we contemplate ancient Buster Keaton play Otto’s brow beaten nephew to glorious accomplish in his last MGM appearance and in the final scene reality and movie fantasy corrupt as Judy Garland’s valid life daughter Liza Minnelli plays her and Johnson’s movie child in the last scene. Calm star Anna Q. Nilsson also has a limited allotment as a woman buying one of the infuriating harps that reoccur in the epic. MGM talent is abundantly on point to in all departments here. The director Robert Z. Leonard who helmed the classic “Maytime”, for MGM, was only brought in after Garland nixed plans by the studio to give the assignment to her husband Vincente Minnelli as the pair were having difficulties at the time. The choreography is top rate and was handled by Robert Alton who was responsible for the innovative dance numbers in Garland’s previous film “Easter Parade”. Cedric Gibbons’ graceful work in region produce also deserves mention for giving the film its exquisite appearance and period flavour.
After this anguish Judy Garland sadly went into a steep decline health wise and after completing only one more film “Summer Stock”, and being released from an aborted attempt to film “Royal Wedding “, with Fred Astaire her MGM contract was terminated. None of this sadness is evident in “In The Salubrious Primitive Summertime”, thankfully and what we have here is a movie with heavenly technicolour, many pretty musical numbers delivered by Garland and a amusing, and touching epic state against a radiant “MGM”, Christmas. Like Judy Garland at the top of her talents in MGM’s “In The Respectable Passe Summertime”.
