Vincente Minnelli's classic musical is a nostalgic portrait of turn-of-the-20th-century American life, centered on a prosperous family in a stately Victorian home (with art direction by Lemuel Ayers, Cedric Gibbons and Jack Martin Smith). The story turns on the powerful childhood fear of change — of losing one's home, friends and family. Older daughters Rose and Esther (Lucille Bremer and Judy Garland) scheme to land boyfriends, while young Tootie (Margaret O'Brien) plans to raise hell on Halloween. Just before the holidays, their father receives a job offer that would mean leaving St. Louis for New York, and the children act out — in ways large and small, funny and frightful. Memorable music numbers include "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas," "The Boy Next Door" and the Oscar®-nominated "The Trolley Song." DIR Vincente Minnelli; SCR Irving Brecher, Fred F.
