Judy Garland Musical Full Movie | Till The Clouds Roll By (1946) | Retrospective 

And SO YOUNG!!!

It's amazing.

My favourite. She's exquisite.

Timeless,Timeless. Costumes, musical scores,words had a feeling and a meaning of real life. I still get as emotional as if I were 20 yrs old and in love. What a privilege to be able to see these movies and remind us of our great American Musical Composers... Thank you.

Me too!

"Today’s musicals don’t have these musical or dance numbers!" Then it's not a musical. Stop shitting on modern output becasue you don't have the emotional maturity to just say you love something from the past. It's all subjective anyway, so there is no good or bad.

Lena was supposed to appear in Arthur Freed's 1951 producrion of "SHOW BOAT". But the studio worried that Southern exhibitors would boycott the film because of her presence- and Ava Gardner filled her role of "Julie" instead.

You're right. Now, had Lena played a maid or other servant in the film, there would have been no problem with the feeble mind of the Southern film distributors and theater owners. Their problem was not hearing Lena, it was seeing her so glamorous and elegant... as big a threat to them as the Atom Bomb. Now, in fairness to Louis B. Mayer, and as much as Lena complained about his studio later... hiring Lena was revolutionary at the time, and there's no question MGM had more to lose than to gain taking a chance on her. For once, he did the right thing.

The white southerners had a chip on their shoulder that they lost their slaves and lost the war.

She suffered deeply from the hideous racism that was Hollywood in those days. It eventually drove her out altogether. In this film she was a show stopper if there ever was one and MGM simply didn't appreciate her, by the sound of it. I so wish there had been somebody who could have helped her.

@@petertaylor3600 Kay Thompson and Vincente Minnelli were close friends and mentors. Lena sounded beautiful and the studio showed her as beautiful. What she accomplished at MGM was groundbreaking for that awful time period. Also consider that there were no real Asian stars since Anna May Wong, and there's nothing much in their representation now. Consider also there is not one single openly gay male bankable name-over-the-title film star in 2022. (No, I don't count Zachary Quinto.) Things were, and still are, unfair. That said, Lena and Dorothy Dandridge were pioneers, groundbreakers. Thank heaven we had them.

Oh please you think way to much of yourself and we're you come from.its not about you or where you come from.you people think everybody is against you but you are the fools who truly believe in that lie your own people teach you.get over yourself nobody thinks of you

Yeah I know I love Judy garland

Why compare the pass with today. At the making of this movie the last generation had just come out of a horrific World War that was just 20 years before a World War, Flu Pandemic and the Roaring Twenties....We who are alive today are indeed blessed.

@@christenasmalls6118 we may be blessed in some ways today, but I beg to differ on others. Every generation has had its pros and cons, but entertainment from mid twentieth century US wins hands down!!

I should have lived back then. It was the best era for musicals. I'm writing songs and performing them with my musical family and I think you'll like them. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-LfOaVGAyLkk.html

Why do so many "people" use "quotation" marks in "their" comments?

@@akrenwinkle many people use quotation Markus because the expression in quotes may not be the overall general consensus used by everyone.

Fred Astaire might've secretly choreographed them.

Actually, Van Johnson began his career as a hoofer, then graduated to acting.

@@tarashlynka5837 Doubt it.Fred Astaire was signed to a different studio then.

Van Johnson was a chorus boy in the Broadway musical "Too Many Girls." When RKO Radio Pictures bought the film rights Desi Arnaz was cast to re-create his stage role opposite RKO contract player Lucille Ball, with Johnson among the other original cast members chosen to reprise their Broadway roles. He and Lucy became good friends, and when Lucy moved on to Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer she used her connections to get him a screen test that led to a long-term contract for a studio starved for leading men in the absence of Clark Gable, James Stewart and others during World War II. Here is the unbilled Van Johnson (41, front and center) as he appears in the opening of "Too Many Girls." ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QH97auKCG94.html&ab_channel=SusieRobinson

I believe back then u had to act, sing, dance and anything else u could use as a talent. Fencing, sword fighting etc.

Hollywood, Follywood gave us a thrill, but how many stars relied on a pill????

When this film was made, the full extent of Garland's addiction was not even known by the vast majority of people in the world. Her addiction was not the "norm" in her lifetime. I still agree that it was her mother that started her down the road to addiction. I agree with Mickey Rooney that Garland continued to choose that road. It was not MGM that forced her into addiction. MGM at times may not have handled Garland and her addiction appropriately, but the studio certainly did not start or force her into addiction. MGM was a business, and Garland was an employee. Garland's conduct as an employee became more delinquent as the years passed. Had I been L.B. Mayer, I would have taken that youngster out and aside for treatment of her addiction and bad habits. After a certain amount of time I would have allowed her to come back to work. If the addiction and bad habits were to reappear, I would have dismissed her.

@@brianoyler4777 If you ask anybody why they think Judy's mother was Judy's first pill-pusher, long before she got to MGM, they'd be stumped and say, "Everybody knows." Well, it was in the Clarke book, sort of. Mrs. Gumm told a friend, "I've got to keep these girls (her daughters) going" traveling, auditioning, performing when they could get work. That's as far as it goes... the implication that that's what Mrs. Gumm meant. For all of her life, there's no record of Judy- never shy about dissing her mother- saying Mrs. Gumm started her on drugs. It's true, however, that Mickey Rooney's account of events was at odds with Judy's. Mickey knew Judy was strong-willed and made her own choices and decisions, something that those unfamiliar with Judy don't know or want to know. "Sympathy is my business," Judy told Liza, and that's a big chunk of the legend.

@@akrenwinkle well, I do not know whether anyone will know for sure how Garland's addiction began. I am tired of hearing people blaming MGM for her addiction. Again, In my opinion her mother introduced her to pills. MGM did have pills available for employees. Judy Garland made the decision to become addicted. MGM did not! People blame MGM because of stories even Garland recounted in her day to make MGM look like the culprit and 'bad guy'. Many, many people had very successful careers coming out of 'MGM U', as Esther Williams described. The idea of being Judy Garland certainly did a number on the public for sympathy. In more retrospect I suspect Garland was nothing more than a spoiled brat and more egocentrical with her relationship to MGM. Would it not have been a hell of a lot easier for her and everyone else concerned had she not even been connected to show biz? I am concluding this with every passing year.

​@@brianoyler4777 Nobody thought Mrs. Gumm started Judy on pep pills until the Clarke book I referenced, and in it was the little nothingburger "I've got to keep these girls going." It defies logic. 1) Plump Mrs. Gumm sure didn't take them. 2) Judy would have needed more energy just being a normal schoolgirl than being driven around to perform and audition; 3) If Judy had been on amphetamines prior to signing with MGM, she would already have been slim. One reason Judy almost never sang "Acheson, Topeka, Santa Fe" was because composer Harry Warren stated that if Judy had been at another studio, she'd have been fired long ago. You are right, with success came a spoiled brat mindset.

I went to a matinee of it when I was about 13 and simply stayed there to watch the next session, causing consternation and a police search. I loved it so much, I didn't think about what I was doing. I had a crush on Frank Sinatra anyway.

Quite true, I'd not thought of that before. Both died around the same age.

@@blubeaz I think they were both 48

People has a annoying ability to forget - lusitania was hit by a german uboat - so far - but its a fact that the ocean-liner was stuffed full of ammunition thereby being the reason behind the very quick sinking after the huge eksplosion when on all the gun-powder went up in the air - as a matter of fact the land America was neutral at the time so it was a breach of the laws and thereby causing the ships quick dimmise , but no body was interested because it was the evil huns that was the culprit. That german uboat later in the war stranded on the danish coast , no member off the crew was Hurt but the sub still lays there today - the 88mm deckgun is removed and is currently stored in copenhagen out in the danish navys old headquarter

Was looking for this comment.....🔥🔥🔥

Judy is one of many exceptionally talented stars in this movie. I hope you chose to watch it.

​@@patmurphy608At 1:19 :14, Judy was expecting Liza at that time and had to hide it ...

Yeah me too

Heard you pal, will change it. Thank you for pointing at that👍

​@@RetrospectiveMovies lol

If ever I would leave you was written long after Til the Clouds.

lol it was a dirt stain put on before she sings..it's part of the character...watch the movie before you ask dumb questions please😖

Tap on the top right of the screen. Tap on the symbol on right. Tap on captions on the menu. Tap on auto translate. Tap on the language you want.

It's supposed to be a smudge of dirt.

Thank goodness we live in more enlightened times. The poor elephants must have gone through agonies to get them to perform like that.

I just watched the ending sequence again and couldn't see any gold elephants. Could you please give a time stamp? I saw the unpainted ones in the circus scene, but not any painted ones in the ending. I do agree that the way animals are treated in the entertainment business is absolutely horrible! For that matter, it also applies to animals in the food, leather, and fur industries as well!

I was too entranced with the glorious story and music of one of the greatest song writers who ever lived to notice.

Thank you for educating us about this abuse of the poor elephants. Circuses are known for abusing and exploiting animals for money. I would never go to a circus for that reason. Animals don’t belong in circuses or zoos. They are forced to live a miserable life.🙏🏻
