Review of Meet Me in St. Louis (1944) by Brent D — 04 Mar 2009

Funny story. My last semester at the U of I I audited a class on Hollywood musicals of the 30's and 40's. Half way through the semester, when I remembered that I had signed up, I went only to discover that I was one of about 3 guys in a class of well over a hundred.

This was one of the first musicals I saw in that class. I could tell that most of the girls found it boring and corny. I was literally weeping. People were staring. It was awkward.
