Review of Babes in Arms (1939) by Ashley H — 08 Oct 2008

This is great to watch because it comes from the hard years of the depression where even in hard times young people learned how to sing, or dance, or act. This large cast of performers is packed with showbiz musical theater talent born of Vaudeville, that represents an era that was unparalleled and we will never see again.

For all his goofiness Mickey Rooney does it all here. And Judy Garland shines in absolutely every thing she does. Giving more than we have a right to expect in every thing she does. It has great music and a must see for those who love classic films.
