Review of Summer Stock (1950) by Jennifer M — 18 Aug 2008

Okay, so Gene Kelly's dancing is wonderful. That's the only reason I gave this movie 3 stars. I'm a total sucker for Gene Kelly.

I don't get Judy Garland at all. Yeah, she's got a nice 1950's voice. But she looks like Queen Elizabeth without the purse. Major canckles action. A definite size 14 (which is perfectly fine IRL, but not next to buff and butch Gene Kelly. She looks like his mother.

Plus! He's wearing jeans (kind of dorky, but I'm sure they were rad in 1951) and she's wearing, well, a dress only The Queen would love.

I do love the black stockings with seams (Judy isn't wearing them). Gotta get a pair.
