Review of Strike Up the Band (1940) by Steven F — 02 Apr 2008
The best of the Judy and Mickey films. Judy Garland's performance is one of her best as well - she's given many moments in which to show how much she loves Mickey Rooney, and they are all lovely to see.
Her song "Nobody" is all the more moving with how matter-of-factly she sings it. "Our Love Affair" is a terrific scene as well, with the great follow-up in the kitchen with the food - in a scene thought up by Vincente Minnelli on one of his first visits to the MGM studios! Sweetly done - beautiful film.
