A remake of the 1937 classic, this time as a musical about a Hollywood couple going through bad times.
Would-be singer Esther Blodgett (Judy 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 on stage. 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. Harold Arlen/Ira Gershwin songs include 'The Man That Got Away'.
Classic musical adaptation of the L. Frank Baum novel starring Judy
Garland, Ray Bolger, Bert Lahr and Jack Haley. 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 (Bolger), a tin man (Haley) and a
cowardly lion (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?

Collection of five musicals from the 1940s and '50s. 'Annie Get
Your Gun' (1950) stars Betty Hutton as backwoods sharpshooter Annie
Oakley. Plucked out of obscurity by Buffalo Bill (Louis Calhern),
the rough-edged Annie is groomed for a leading role in Bill's world
famous Wild West show. However, Annie has a rival in the form of
rifleman Frank Butler (Howard Keel), a man she soon falls in love
with. Songs include 'Anything You Can Do' and 'There's No Business
Like Show Business'. In 'Easter Parade' (1948) Fred Astaire plays
one half of a dance team who is ditched by his partner. Deciding he
can make a star out of anyone he wants, he chooses a lowly chorus
girl (Judy Garland) as his new partner. Songs include 'A Couple of
Swells', 'Stepping Out With My Baby' and 'Shaking the Blues Away'.
In 'Calamity Jane' (1953) Doris Day stars as the famous
frontierswoman, who would rather hit targets than chase men - until
she falls for 'Wild Bill' Hickok (Keel). However, he would rather
shoot Indians than chase after a tomboy like Calamity Jane. Songs
include 'The Black Hills of Dakota' and the Oscar-winning 'Secret
Love'. 'High Society' (1956), based on 'The Philadelphia Story'
play by Philip Barry, stars Grace Kelly as socialite Tracy Lord
who, even as she prepares for her second marriage, still has
obvious feelings for her ex-husband (Bing Crosby). She also strikes
up a friendship with a reporter (Frank Sinatra), who has been sent
to cover her society wedding. Songs include 'Who Wants to Be a
Millionaire' and the famous Crosby/Sinatra duet 'Well, Did You
Evah'. 'Meet Me in S.Louis' (1944) follows Esther Smith (Garland),
a young woman from St. Louis who falls in love with the boy next
door. The film is set in 1904, when the city hosted the World's
Fair. Songs include 'Meet Me in St. Louis', 'Have Yourself a Merry
Little Christmas' and 'The Trolley Song'.
Judy Garland stars in Vincente Minnelli's classic musical following
the middle-class Smith family in the lead up to the 1904 World's
Fair hosted in St Louis. Esther (Garland), the second eldest
daughter of Alonzo (Leon Ames) and Anna Smith (Mary Astor), falls
for her new next door neighbour, John Truitt (Tom Drake), and
initially has difficulty winning his affections. When their romance
begins to blossom, however, Esther learns that Alonzo's employer is
transferring him to New York where he plans to move the family. It
soon becomes clear how much the move will affect his four daughters
and son, Lon Jr. (Hank Daniels), and, what's more, it means they
will miss the World's Fair. The film includes the songs 'Meet Me in
St. Louis', 'Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas' and 'The
Trolley Song'.
