Buster Keaton a genius? You got that right Steve! Judy singing...what more can you ask for. ❤
He was such an innovatiove filmmaker, besides being a comiic icon.
I told myself I wasn’t going to cry, but when you said how Buster Keaton made it into the movie, well here comes the waterworks. Comic genius, of the highest order he had that in spades.
Absolutely brilliant.
I always fancied Van Johnson. He looked like the gorgeous boy next door❤️
He probably was...for somebody.
Steve, I'm very glad that you and Johnny are staying healthy in these dire times. And seeing a new video from you is always a joy.
Thank you. We are doing our best. I hope you and yours are well, busy and SAFE. Sending you many thanks for watching and all my best. Steve

"Please subscribe", are you kidding I did this a few years ago. I love your channel, please give us more.
@@LaSharown Hooray! You are the BEST!
I've watched this movie a million times and I think it's one of the most underrated Judy Garland movies. Judy and Van worked so good together and I really wished they appeared in more movies together. I also really love Van Johnson in Battleground (1949) which is a great war movie.
Lots of love from The Netherlands❤
Van was solid in everything. Check him out in a little known thriller he did in the '50's called "23 Paces to Baker Street'. It's terrific.Thanks so much for watching. Don't forget to subscribe and please push the "Like" button. Have a lovely day, And please, Stay SAFE. Best; Steve
@@STEVEHAYESTOQ He's brilliant in that - Vera too. He could really dance too. In 'Til the clouds Roll By' with lovely Lucille Bremer who can really dance too.
I have loved Judy for my whole life and I adore this film! Spring Byington is another favorite of mine. I remember loving her and Verna Felton in December Bride!
About Buster at MGM: the BEST thing about his time there is that he mentored a young actress who was trying to survive there as the studio just didn't know what to do with her. He taught her the basics of physical comedy and the importance of using props. Years later she credited Buster with the success she had - not on films, but TV. Yes, Buster taught LUCY everything she knew about comedy!
Well, she learned from the best and Lucy passed it on. Thanks for watching and stay SAFE. Best; Steve
@@STEVEHAYESTOQ indeed she did- every time I watch "The Carol Burnett Show"!
A lovely salute to Judy Garland and Van Johnson. I saw this movie at the Fremont Theater in San Luis Obispo when I was about eight years old. I love the way you always talk about the best things, the talent, the dedication and of course we have the joy all these years later. Thank you, Steve...
One of the members of the barbershop quartet is Charles Smith, who played Rudy in The Shop Around the Corner!
Yup!
I absolutely 💕 your imitation of S.Z. Sakall! And the stories you share about the actors. And your language-the words you use are wonderful! Thank you for brightening my morning. I’m a fan of both the original and this remake, though watching James Stewart work himself up into a mad in the original is so much fun to watch!
Yes, I love both versions. It's such a lovely story that holds up and fortuanately has not to be ruined in the re-makes. Thanks for watching and please stay SAFE! Best ; Steve
I really liked this one. My grandma on the Italian side of the family used to sing a bunch of old songs and one of them was 'I don't care.' When I watched this film for the first time I thought...'Hey that's one of grandma's songs!'. Love the time period covered with the old Barbershop Quartet scene and it was a nice romantic film as well.
i think so too. It's just wonderful.
Fabulous review. No one does these classic oldies better than this reviewer. No surprise we have a diehard JUDY GARLAND fan here. Van JOHNSON is one the better actors around. Love that guy. Did not know he was a queen
Yup. I loved the way he 'came onto Judy" in the end. Very sexy! Steve
Steve Hayes is a spark of light and fun and charisma that we all need right now. And John gets more handsome in every video. I really like this movie and I'm so glad to see it here. Thanks for pulling this one out. I loved the video. Please take care and stay safe.
You too, John. Please stay SAFE and thanks so mcuh for your comments and for watching. Syay SAFE!
What a treat!
So are YOU, Fella! Hope all is well and SAFE!
OK, Judy Garland is my favorite singer and Joan Crawford is my favorite actress, so obviously loving your great movie selections and insights. In fact Judy outed me to my parents when I was a 13 year old gay kid that became obsessed with Judy and Liza. I was watching a movie with my parents when the flamboyantly gay character on the show (Tommy Smothers) said he LOVED Judy Garland. My parents both paused to look at me. Busted. All good, and a proud Judy fan to this day! I don’t care…I don’t care, what they may think of me!
My unusual Judy story came in 2017. My partner and I travelled to LA, and stopped at Hollywood Forever cemetery. We went to the mausoleum where Rudolph Valentino, Peter Lorre, and Larry from “Bewitched” were resting, but we couldn’t get in. There was apparently a secret, yet high profile memorial happening. In fact, I spotted the hot, gay owner of the cemetery next to his hearse waiting for someone to arrive. His name is Tyler Cassity, and his documentary “The Young and the Dead” is what sparked the “Six Feet Under” series. It wasn’t until a day later that the news hit…..Judy was being moved from New York to Hollywood Forever. She was flown to California 2 days before, so I’m sure I just missed Judy’s reburial. I wish I had hung around longer. Did I miss Liza? Did I miss Lorna? Did I miss Joey? The timing was very odd.
Your story reminds me of an except from a book about when people realized they were gay and one man said he walked into the livingroom when he was 8year old, heard on the news that Judy Garland had died and fainted. LOL! So dear! As for the Judy services...Well, you were there in spirit. I love "Hollywood Forever" and visit Ty Power and Clfton & Maibelle Webb whenever I'm in LA. Now I can vsisit Judy too! How marvelous! Happy Holidays! Thanks for watching! Best; Steve
BRAVO!!! BRAVISSIMO!!!
VIVA STEVE HAYES!!!
"YOURS is the ONLY channel I give a THUMBS UP!, before watching, and I fraternally suffer thru the commercials WITHOUT touching the Skip button". (I really mean it!).
Thanks for this fantastic pick, your notes are amazing and as entertaining as the movie itself. JUDY glows here and her breathy scenes with Sexy Ginger Van are brilliant.
BUSTER KEATON stole every scene he was ever in, including with Swanson in that famous card scene in Sunset.
Another favorite and glowing Judy film, cousin to THIS was the one with ROBERT WALKER... Can't remember the title I know YOU know!!!
LOVE LOVE LOVE YOUR CHANNEL!!!
LOL! You made my day! Thank you for the wonderful comments. The other Judy Garland movie with Robert Walker is "The Clock', if you go to RUclips you can see my TOQ review. Thanks again and STAY SAFE. Best; Steve
So beautiful small garden. Lovely
Lovely film.
@@STEVEHAYESTOQ not sir, at beginning ...very beautiful flowers. 🏝😊
A Judy film! Yesssss! 😍
HOORAY!!! Enjoy!
I saw Wizard of Oz as a re-issue in '49 (I was 8) and this was 1st picture I saw with adult Judy. Loved it. Then I saw Summer Stock and Judy was gone. I lived in small town and didn't have opportunity to see any earlier films from Judy. I had to wait until I got older to really discover the true scope of her magic. Cable and TCM were a godsend for me. Steve's reviews do the same for me.
Thank you so much! Yes, this one shows her as a woman and her final seduction by Van Johnson is so sexy. Both he and John Hodiak in "The Havey Girls" kissed her like a woman, gave her sex appeal and I loved that . Best; Steve
I LOVE your channel! I love old movies, of course, but your knowledge of the films and background details & gossip AND your wonderful humour, is absolute GOLD! Thank YOU and Johnny! Keep up the FAAAAABULOUS work. You’re a tonic! 😎👍👍
WOW! What a wonderful comment. Thank you so very much. Glad you enjoy it. You made my day!Stay well & Stay SAFE and subscribe if you haven't already. Thanks a million! Steve
Always such a joy to see a new video from you, Steve. I also adore Judy's energetic number from this picture. Whenever someone is trying to force a trivial opinion on me or debate some meaningless minutiae, I tend to reply, "Judy in a red dress, baby." Those that laugh I know are fellow movie buffs who understand I was actually saying, "I don't care! I don't care!!" :D
That's perfect! LOL! I'll keep that in mind.
I love this film and Love Judy Garland! This film is not only warm ,but also funny! What a perfect cast!
Isn't it delightul?!? I love it too. It just ahs everything! Best; Steve
@@STEVEHAYESTOQ Yes it is Steve! I just discovered your reviews and Love them. You are very knowledgeable about the Great films and stars. I am happy that Judy Garland is being celebrated for her 100th birthday. I plan on attending the celebration the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra is giving in her honor in June and also seeing "The Wizard of Oz" on the big screen June 5th and 6th in her honor.
@@sheldoncooper1134 Well, it's the perfect time to re-visit the joy Of Judy! Have a lovely time and thanks so much for watching! Best Wishes; Steve
Love your Sakall impression...we may have to start calling you "Cuddles"!
You can call me " Cuddles" anytime, Fella! LOL!
as always fun and information, "pre noon toxic environment"!!! lol lol yes it can be toxic before I've had my coffee!! how pretty and young Judy was..amazing!
I look forward to each review. Thank you, thank you. You give such great insight into old hollywood.
Thanks for watching, Paul. Your kind words make me very happy. Please stay well and stay SAFE! Best; Steve
I swear ... Steve's reviews are the *BEST* I've ever seen ... Be well 😷 ... 👋
Thanks Gary! Always warms my heart to hear from you! Be SAFE. Best; Steve
Steve, Johnny, God Bless You and keep you safe and healthy! I love you both as much as I can from here in Indiana on the Internet. I was saddened to learn of Olivia de Haviland's passing but looking forward to your revisiting her wonderful career.
Dearest Bob; Thank you for your kind words. We are both doing our best and hope you are also. Yes, Olivia was a great actress and a terrific, tenacious woman. I have several of her films on my "to do" list. Plsae be well and stay SAFE. Thanks for watching! Best; Steve
Love your stories! I always forget that was Buster Keaton, and now that I know the story behind his appearance in the movie, it is more special. And doesn't little Liza Minnelli make her first film appearance in the final scene? Also, I gotta get me a TOQ t-shirt!!!
YOU DO!!! Check t the link below and "wear me out"! Yes, that's little Liza. Surprise! have a great day, stay well and stay SAFE. Best; Steve
Finally 10K subscribers, well done, and about time! As you usually sometimes do a Halloween video some suggestions for a "Scary Steve" soiree. The Uninvited, The Haunting, Die, Die Die My Darling, Night of the Living Dead, or one of my favorites Rosemary 's Baby!! Rosemary's Baby(Mia Farrow) was one of the best performances ever to not be nominated for an academy award, A good year for actresses that year. Thanks for putting out such uplifting videos in these challenging times. Cheers!
Thanks, Robert. I did do "The Haunting", check with my past episodes on "RUclips" and you'll find it. Love that film. Thank you for the suggestions. t will take them under consideration. "The Uninvited" and "Rosemary's Baby" are on my 'to do" list. Thanks for watching and stay SAFE. Best; Steve
Steve Hayes one more vote for THE UNINVITED!
I'm always so excited to get a notification from you and Johnny, Steve. It makes my day. Please never stop we need this quality content right now. ✌💜☺ I'm going to start using that "How the hell are you?" flower cleavage line from now on 😆
LOL! Well , be careful who you do it too.I could get you slugged! Thanks for watching,! Don't forget to subscribe, please push the "LIKE" button and stay SAFE. Best; Steve
@@STEVEHAYESTOQ only close friends 😆
When I was a kid, I loved watching Spring Byington movies on TV after school. This actress was so vivacious that she stole every scene she was in. Nothing would have pleased me more than to sit through a Spring Byington Film Festival. At that point, I knew I was NOT like the other boys! LOL
Well, I always was obessed with the character women as well, so we're probably in the ssame boat. Though mine were usually the female villiains, my favorite being Gale Sondergaard. Just for the record, Spring was apparantly "not like the other girls". I love her also. If you want to see her in two different types of roles ; check out her, nosey,/ gossipy character in "When Ladies Meet", a role she originated on Broadway and her nasty housekeeper making Gene Tierney's life miserable in "Dragonwyck". She was very versatile. Thanks for watching,! Don't forget to subscribe, please push the "LIKE" button and stay SAFE. Best; Steve
@@STEVEHAYESTOQ Now we're talkin'! Love her sinister bearing. While not playing "evil" as such, except here and there, the best of that group , I think, is the indomitable, superior, arched brow and quick to demean Florence Bates. "Rebecca", "The Brasher Dubloon" (where she gets to shove her husband out the window), Ingrid Bergman's coach in duplicity in "Saratoga Trunk". Fascinating back story, too. Be well. Admiringly, Daniel.
@@danielstanwyck2812 LOve that Flo Bates! "get ame chocolate, QUICK!" have a great day!
Steve, you're the best reviewer! I've watched since the beginning...I just adore you and Johnny. Great film. Judy is gold.
Ps. I'm genuinely curious...where do you get those fabulous dolls in the background of your videos? (=
Dear Mathew; The dols are GENE dolls created by my friendthe fabulous artist Mel Odom. If you check the info/link below this review, you'll find out where and how to purchase them. I love them! They remind me of 3D George Hurrell photos and fill my place with old Hollywood glamour. Thanks for watching and please stay SAFE! Best; Steve
STEVE.....just read your review for THE HEIRESS after skimming various things on you tube for Miss de Havilland...I LOVED THE MOVIE TOO.....one of the best endings ever....LOVED THE CLIFF...one of the most talented and beautiful actors ever......I HAVE NOW SUBSCRIBED TO YOU....here is a woman who is now a fan...
Halleluyah! I've been waiting!! Thanks so much for watching. I love Monty Clift too. He's one of my favorites! be well and stay SAFE! All My Best; Steve
Two in one day...its the PERFECT day for me..when Steve Hayes reviews two films...more more more more!!!

Good morning Steve & Johnny!
Always nice to see you both.
Happy Sunday guys. 😄💟😄
Thank you so much. Right back at ya! Best; Steve
Another all time favorite of mine. It’s a simple but beautiful story, the sets and costumes are gorgeous… pure MGM style!
And Judy, come on people, how can anyone not adore her? Not forgetting the early appearance of Liza at the end of the movie! I loved the recent remake with Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan but, this one stays in my heart!
Btw… where is the doll????
I know it's hard to believe, but I didn't have a period doll that I felt represented the musical or Judy, so I left one out. Sorry, but sceretly delihted that you noticed! Thanks for watching! Steve
Agreed we need some Olivia de Havilland themed posts. Also I would love you to do some commentary on a few of my classic favourites: The Prince and the Show Girl (Marilyn Monroe); The Yellow Rolls Royce; The Great Race; The Assassination Bureau. Admittedly three of these are from the 1960s but they are fantastic films with multiple movie performances of outstanding quality.
One of those is already in my "to do" list. You'll have to guess. OXOX
@@STEVEHAYESTOQ It doesn't matter because I love all of them. Thanks Steve. XXX
Judy Garland's recording of "I Don't Care" has been in rotation on my MP3 player for over a year. Now I know the source. Thank you, Steve!
You're welcome! Thanks for watching! Best; Steve
So happy to see you and Johnny looking so well and happy
And reviewing one of my all time favorite, relatively unknown Judy films
She looked so gorgeous in that red dress!
Stay safe and well!
Thanks John. I have loved this movie since I saw it one afternoon when I was home from school and sick with something or other. This is the film where I fell in love with Judy and even at that age, thought Van coming onto her was really hot.
First-- I just ADORE Steve Hayes. Have for 40 years since I was lucky enough to bartend with him at the Met Museum. (I still repeat/steal some of his lines from those days ("Now girls, you're BOTH pretty." )) And there is no one I trust more with movie recommendations.
Thank you Sweetheart! I'll give you an hour to cut that out! How nice to hear from you! How are you? I hope this finds you and yours well, busy and please stay SAFE! Sending love; Steve
I have as much fun watching Steve's recommendations as I do watching Steve review them. Thank you for continuing to keep Hollywood's Golden Age alive.
Love this movie love Van Johnson, had the opportunity to meet him in NYC, such a gentleman.
Nice man. Very funny.
Absolutely adore your reviews! Thanks so much for this, perfect timing as I had a short break. I'm in the middle of a 12 hour nursing shift. Sending you love and positive energy!
Dear Tina; First of all, God Bless you. God Bless and all the healthcare workers. I have a special affinity for nurses, my sister was a geriatric nurse for over 40 years. Thank you for your great hearts, your long arduous hours and your tireless work, especially in this terrible time. I'm so glad I could bring you a bit of joy and relief. You are my heros. Stay well, Stay SAFE. Many thanks; Steve
I love your reviews. They are the video equivalent of comfort food.
I'd love to see reviews of:
A Tree Grows in Brooklyn
The Pride of the Yankees
Little Women (1949)
Thank you. And keep 'em comin'.
Thank you so much! I put the first two recommendations on my 'to do" list, but will opt for the Hepburn "Little Women". Thanks so much for watching. Please subcribe if you haven't already and push the "LIKE" button. Take care, be well and please stay SAFE! Best; Steve
As a kid, Pride of the Yankees was one of my favorite films. I watched it every time it played on Channel 11 (NY). I fell in love with Teresa Wright. 😊
@@dritz3806 Mine was always "Shadow Of A Doubt". Incredibly subtle and nuanced performances by both her and Joseph Cotton. Hitchcock does it right!
You’re at a party with Bacall and Van Johnson....can you PLEASE just do a video and talk, talk, talk about everyone you’ve met and what you’ve seen. Honestly, I’ll watch you read the god damn phone book, but I’d rather hear your stories!
LOL! I've been fortunate enough over the years to be in a few places, with a few people, at the right time. I like to throw these anecdotes into the episodes. it livens things up. So glad you enjoy them and thanks so much for watching! Please stay SAFE. Best; Steve
Steve you look fabulous !!! And what a name dropper you are lol. It made me green with envy. You can see the chemistry and comfort Van and Judy had on screen. That's a crazy story about Van marrying Evie. At least he had the good sense not to marry again. Gay actors had little choice when it came to what the public expected and what the studios made sure was delivered. Spring Byington I remember in December Bride and thought her adorable. I must watch this again it's been so long since I've seen it. Thanks Steve for the great review.:o)
You made my day and make me bush...a little...at my age, that's probably more than sufficient. LOL! Thanks so much for watching and please stay SAFE!
@@STEVEHAYESTOQ Hey Sweetie... we're the same age and I wish I looked as good. Men do age better... and to quote Allan Sherman... you rat finks lol :o)
Oh, man! You are soooo hilarious and I can't say enough about the coverage of this priceless film. Just wonderful! Thank you!
Why thank you , Kathleen! You made my day! Steve
A terrific movie with an unbelievable performance from Judy!
I totally agree. Warm and winning on all accounts! Thanks for watching!

I didn’t know that this is what “I don’t care” came from this film, well I didn’t know it existed... lol. Also didn’t know that it uses the “She Loves Me” cliche, so happy I found your channel!
In the Good Old Summertime is the musical version of 1940’s “The Shop Around the Corner” that movie starred Jimmy Stewart & Margaret Sullavan both are some of my favorite movies 😊😊
And You've got Mail update!!
OMG! So Glad you all are doing well and overjoyed to see something new! Had just recently discovered your channel and I am all the better for it! Much love coming your way 🤩😍💘!

Thanks for another great recommendation! It's a shame to admit it, but I haven't seen a lot of Judy Garland's work. I must do something about that... 🤔
Oh, you are in for such a treat. Besides being a legendary singer and a consumate dancer, she was an astounding, actress. One of the best the movies ever produced. She never did anything that wasn't comepletely natural. I think you will be beguiled. Take care and stay SAFE. Best; Steve
I never believed the rumors that Van Johnson was "gay" , but ater listening to this ,, well I guess it's true ! Well so be it . He's gone now . And we all loved his MGM films . He was a top movie star in his prime . And as for Judy Garland , she was one in a million and need I say more ! This is not on the list as one of Judy's great films , but it was a very pleasant old fashioned MGM musical .
I think it is one of her great films. It's perfectly constructed to showcase both her musical abilities and her acting talent ...and visa versa... and as I said, it's one of the few where the leading man, in this case Van, nuzzeled and kissd her with passion and sex appeal. The other is with John Hodiak in " "The Harvey Girls".
"My little hunchback" .... abusive bullsh*t! Judy was one of the great beauties when lovingly presented.
Aren't we all? Thanks for watching! Steve
CONGRATS FINALLY 10K SUBS!
I know!! WOO HOO!!!! Hope all is well with you! Stay SAFE! Best; Steve
This movie is enhanced by the presence of Judy and Van and the music but it is a remake of earlier film that starred Jimmy Stewart and Margaret
Sullivan called The Shop Around the Corner. If you enjoy this one do yourself a favor and watch the original. It is also the basis of the Broadway musical She Loves Me by the composers of Fiddler on the Roof. It was just presented last friday on PBS Great Performances .
Ah indeed so charming. Love this movie. Van is so sexy cute too. Most people forget Liza Minelli is the baby at the end of the story. Glad you brought up about Van's tragic car accident.. Liza mentioned (I"m good friends with Billy Stritch. her pianist/arranger) that Van was in terrible pain even after healing. He would get headaches and had neck tension. That is fab Steve you met Van.. I always wanted to meet him. And I so agree.. Van brought a bit of sex to the on screen romance ... Judy and Van got on great. I didn't feel the same chemistry with Fred in Easter Parade for example... though it is also one of my favorites.
No, I feel that she respects Fred, but he doesn't wanna take her to bed. Van , on the other hand, is quite another story and the way he comes onto Judy in that last scene, Baby Liza was most likely conceived right then and there in the shop under the Christmas tree.LOL! Thanks for watching.
I love your reviews! You should do a new one each week! Please do Honolulu with George Burns & Gracie Allen- it's a hoot! Also Down to Earth with Rita Hayworth. Just on a side note, Britney Spears sang I Don't Care on Star Search & went on to round 2 😀 Keep up the great work Steve! Hi to you too Johnny 😉
Thnanks for watching. Unfortuantely, due to logistics, I can only do one a month. Thanks so much for watching and please stay SAFE! Best; Steve
Steve Hayes You too Steve, & Johnny! Be safe & well 😊
Yay!
Great review as always, thank you
Thanks Mike. I'm so glad you watch. Please take care and stay SAFE! Best; Steve
Great review of this lovable movie. I haven't watched this in years, so thank you for inspiring me to take it down from the shelf and enjoying it once again. This is the perfect film for a Sunday night.
Xactly! What better time and it's such a lovely hommage to the period. Everyone is beguiling and it has such heart.
Lovely review
Thanks, Buddy! Hope you are okay and staying SAFE!
Good Old Summertime is a good entertaining film. Great art direction among other things good on this film. A friend of mine said Buster did not do a lot of pratfalls on this, I somewhat agree but if he did, he will overshadow the leads. Anyway, I think the Van Johnson character did a mind f**k (sorry for a lack of a better description) on Judy. I would not be pleased if I was her. Also, I named my Apple computer from the 80s Buster. Cheers!
Spring Byington was also used as a live action reference model for Disney's Sleeping Beauty (for one of the three good fairies).
Who better?
You're wonderful! Thank you for this great video.
My pleasure, judy! Thank you for watching! Best; Steve
I LOVE this movie!!!! To me, its right up there with the greats; such as The Sound of Music, My Fair Lady, The Ghost and Mrs. Muir, Random Harvest, The Prince and the Showgirl, just to name a few.
I'm so glad! I love this one. Judy is so beguiling and Van Johnson really sexes her up. He comes on to her in that final scene so seductively. I love when her leading man really kiss her and treat her like a desirable woman. Like Van, John Hodiak treated her the same way in "The Harvey Girls". Great kissers! Thanks for watching and have a SAFE New Year! Best; Steve
An absolute favorite!
So are YOU, my Chickie -poo! OXOXOX
i Just discovered you via RUclips sidebar. I watch other movie blogs but yours really stand out. You are really funny but never at the expense of the films, of which you are very knowledgeable. Unlike many you're not overly long and I wish many were longer (the early ones were very short - I'm watching a bunch of them lately). I hope sometime you do "Laura" and "Johnny Guitar".
Dear John; Thanks so much , John! Welcome aboard! I did "Laura" in the early days, but for some reason, it got lost, so I'll have to do it again. "Johnny Guitar" is on my to do list. Thanks so much for watching ! Please subscribe if you haven't already and hit the "LIKE" button. Stay well, Stay SAFE. Best; Steve
@@STEVEHAYESTOQ I always click "Like" since all things internet value metrics like that, and I did just subscribe. To be honest, I'm kind of glad "Laura" got lost if it was one of the early ones. I've gone back to the beginning ("Demetrius and the Gladiators") and have watched a lot of reviews gradually moving forward. The early reviews were usually under 3 minutes and you've got so much more of interest to say than that.
@@John_Fugazzi Hooray! Thnks so much, John! I'm so glad you're enjoying them. In the early days we were doing one a week and that proved too much. We also didn't know how long we could do them and I ran through all my top favorites pretty early on. I'm thinking about going back and re-doing a few. I'll do "Laura" again soon. Many thanks and all my Best; Steve
You and your team are life-savers!
No, My Friend, viewers like YOU are the lifesavers to us! Thank you so much for watching and for your lovely comments/compliments. Here's to the New Year! Be well, stay SAFE, keep watching and Best Wishes: Steve , Johnny & The TOQ Team
I Don't Care is one of my favorite Judy movie moments as well. 🤗
The whle film is breezy and romantic. One of her beauties. Thanks for watching! Best wishes; STEVE
I've seen this movie several times. Really cute and super entertaining.
Adorable and perfectly cast.
Judy Judy Judy ♥️♥️♥️
Steve I think. You've Got Mail with Tom and Meg same premise updated . Good plot
Wonderful one of the best fun on RUclips.

Steve, no mention of the violinist Marcia Van Dyke? Her performance of the once popular recital piece Souvenir of Moscow by Wieniawski has become one of my favorite musical pieces in any film. Marcia was the first woman to be first violinist with the San Francisco Symphony. I give Joe Pasternak credit for having a true musician in the part. Van Dyke synced to her own playing.
Judy singing I Don’t Care (a la vaudeville) and Marcia’s violin solo are the high points of ITGOS. For me.
She was lovely.
Hey, TOQ.....loved ur review and concur 100%....great but not as GREAT as Meet Me In St. Louis. I’ve seen it soooooo many times. Piece of trivia...
I am retired living in Waco, Tx....home of Baylor University where I went to school. Our Alma Mater is That Good Old Baylor Line....referring to line of alums down the years....we used to laugh as the tune seems perfectly set to the tune of In The Good Old Summer Time...download it and listen....good for a laugh as it will sound just like the good old summer time....
Het Marc; Great to ear from you, as always and funny anecdote. Please stay well down there in texas and stay SAFE! Best; Steve
Steve Hayes morning...u guys stay safe as well....
Gee, it’s great to see you looking swell, Steve.
Why thank you, Renzo. You make me blush...not easy at my age...I'm fine. I hope you are too. Please take care of yourself and stay SAFE. I always look forward to hearing from you. Best; Steve
One of my favorite Van Johnson's movies
Another fun review of one of my favorites. Are you rebranding? Follow your head and heart on that but just for the record, TOQATM is hysterical and lovely. I'd happily watch you do nothing but cut up for the camera, with or without a movie.
Thanks so much. be well and stay SAFE!
THEY WERE THE BEST OF THE BEST
Second-- Van Johnson was a little devil. I waited on him once in my early 20's. He goosed me with a wine bottle and then just smiled like a cat. Then I was shocked. Now at 61 I'm flattered. 😏
This made me lol! Thank. You for sharing that!
Can't say I blame him. LOL! OXOXO
Saw this film for the first time last evening. Garland is exquisite, but sadly the film lacks the charm and poignancy of THE SHOP AROUND THE CORNER.
I think it's the difference in the directors. The first one has the special "Lubitsch touch".
Shame, shame. How could you not mention that Liza Minnelli makes her film debut in the last scene? (oh, my smelling salts!!!!)
Because....there are somethings that must remain surprises. LOL!
@@STEVEHAYESTOQ Too true, my dear 😘
@@STEVEHAYESTOQ BTW, ever do The Reluctant Debutante? Or The Pleasure of his Company? Just curious.
With the exception of Judy's numbers I like "The Shop Around the Corner" better. Jimmy Stewart and Margaret Sullavan really seemed to hate each other, so it made it more satisfying when they finally got together at the end. The barbs are more bitter, Frank Morgan's storyline is sadder and the young delivery guy is hilarious.
Someone lucky enough to see both Robert Preston in The Music Man and Van Johnson in the London production of same confessed to liking Van Johnson BETTER in that role.
Wow. Interesting. He was certainly versatile.
