Judy Garland: 7-film Collection

Collection of seven films starring Judy Garland. In 'For Me and My Gal' (1942), performer Harry Palmer (Gene Kelly) deliberately injures his hand to avoid being drafted into the army.

He starts a vaudeville act with fellow performer Jo Hayden (Garland) and they become determined to play The Palace.

In 'Harvey Girls' (1945), mail-order bride Susan Bradley (Garland) heads out West and ends up working as a waitress for the Fred Harvey chain of restaurants and hotels.

The Harvey house faces some stiff competition from the old-fashioned saloon over the road, but the saloon's gambling owner Ned Trent (John Hodiak) takes a shine to Susan.

This draws the displeasure of Trent's long-time sweetheart Em (Angela Lansbury) which causes a clash between the girls. 'In the Good Old Summertime' (1949) is a musical remake of 'The Shop Around the Corner' (1940), set in a Chicago music store.

Sales girl Veronica Fisher (Garland) corresponds through an anonymous pen pal service with Andrew (Van Johnson), who turns out to be the manager she detests. 'Love Finds Andy Hardy' (1938) stars Mickey Rooney as Andy, a man frantically trying to juggle two women, Polly (Ann Rutherford) and Cynthia (Lana Turner) at the same time.

Could Betsy (Garland) be the one to help him out of his dilemma? 'A Star Is Born' (1954) is a remake of the 1937 classic, this time as a musical about a Hollywood couple going through bad times.

Would-be singer Esther Blodgett (Garland) finds herself taken under the wing of fading star Norman Maine (James Mason) when she saves him from making a drunken fool of himself.

Changing her name to Vicki Lester, Esther becomes a star, and is soon married to Norman.

However, as Vicki's star rises, so Norman's falls. In 'The Wizard of Oz' (1939), a tornado whisks Dorothy (Garland) and her house from Kansas to Munchkin City, squashing the Wicked Witch of the East upon landing.

The Wicked Witch of the West (Margaret Hamilton) vows revenge, while Dorothy sets off on the yellow brick road to see the Wizard of Oz (Frank Morgan), hoping he can tell her how to get home.

On the way she makes friends with a scarecrow (Ray Bolger), a tin man (Jack Haley) and a cowardly lion (Bert Lahr) - all of whom have specific reasons for wanting to meet the magical Wizard.

With the Wicked Witch out to get her, will Dorothy ever get home again?

Finally, in 'Ziegfeld Girl' (1941), former elevator operator Sheila (Turner), wife Sandra (Hedy Lamarr), and a vaudeville performer Susan (Garland) are three women following different paths in life, yet they soon share one dream: to become a Ziegfeld Girl.
