Mum told me how she went to see the film in early 1940 and saw this young actress Judy Garland who was only sixteen years old, not much older than my mum (who was 13 when she saw the film). Told me about Dorothy and her little dog Toto and the adventure that they had. Britain was at war by then and in August 1940 when mum turned 14 she went to work in a munitions factory just north of London. The film and particularly the song Somewhere Over The Rainbow gave mum some joy in what must have been a very worrying and frightening time. My mum died in January 2020 and she was 93 years old. As I helped carry her in to the service of remembrance we walked with Judy Garland singing her famous song. I think mum would have liked that and made her smile...and I like to think she's singing along to it now.
Thank you for your reply. I hope that you are coping with any loss that you may be suffering, whether recent or not. The people we love in life who in time we lose... well they always stay with us until we too leave this life. I don't know what is beyond this life but i like to think that it is a new beginning... whatever it is. In the meantime, enjoy life as much as you can and surround yourself with love. It doesn't mean that life will always be rosy but it'll help to get through the times that maybe are not so good. Good luck and best wishes to you!
I'm 70 years old and that has to be the most beautiful song sung by the most beautiful person in the world and it still brings tears to my eyes God bless you Judy Garland
My grandmother was born on the same exact day as The Wizard of Oz was released. I was the one who found out, not too long ago. She had always loved the movie, especially as a kid. When i told her that she shared the same birthday as the film, the happiness that washed over her face was so special to witness, as dementia is gradually robbing her of her cognitive abilities. She looked like she did when I was a kid. And yes shes still alive and I visit her many times a week.

Even at this young age her voice had a sadness, a sort of knowing maturity that makes it so poignant. Knowing how horribly she was treated during this filming and after gives this song a tragic beauty that is unforgettable. Fly high, little bluebird.
@Y K You don't even know your Bible. The rainbow was a sign sent by God after the Great Flood as part of his promise that he would never destroy the earth again by water. That is why Christians often use it as their symbol. And it is a universal sign of hope across many cultures and beliefs. What is wrong with you?
Okay, first of all, she was not mistreated during the filming of this movie. Understand that first. It would not have been the cherished memory to her that it obviously was if she had been. Also, her delivery of the song was more winsome than sad. Dorothy Gale was dreaming of a place where she'd be free of trouble; indeed, later in the film she was to have done a reprise of the song, only by then she was singing about Kansas.
When I was a kid, I never missed it whenever it aired on TV. Just recently I re-watched it after the longest time and it brought tears to my eyes. It's a timeless treasure.
My husband often sings this. His voice is rich, deep and smooth. He'll be on the riding mower or in the barn milking cows, and you can hear his voice over the machines and equipment. He sings to the birds and deer that show up on the property. He sang softly to the children when he rocked them to sleep when they were little. I guess you can say we lived there (over the rainbow) because all of our dreams came true. God is good. Thank you Judy. RIP.

Still a favorite movie and song. This movie was televised every year when I was growing up and I would look forward to watching it. Truly a timeless classic.
Yesterday, I showed my niece, who is 5, this video. She watched it and she said "she's pretty!". It made me smile cause Judy is pretty. But Hollywood didn't believe that. I hope Judy is happy somewhere over the rainbow. R.I.P Judy Garland 🌹🌈
They really did Ethel /Judy wrong in Hollywood!! Her life was tragic imagine knowing you were unwanted, and then mistreated by your parents and the industry!! RIP love 💔❤ Judy!!
The way Judy Garland sings this song both technically and artistically here (at just 16 years old) is the most perfect version of the song that was ever done. I doubt even the songwriters of this song had ever conceived it to be vocalized in such a stunning manner. No one can duplicate this ... (not even Judy in later years) ... it is total perfection.
lmao. "most perfect version", You mean, SINCE HER version is the most famous (and probably the one you & other have heard FIRST), then it becomes the "standard", and any other stylistic departures from THAT are deemed "less perfect.". ... You remind me of these people who automatically assume that (in life) that the side who told you their version of historical facts FIRST (before their competitor could get to you ) is the correct/truthful side. Your comment reminds me of what a world of fools this is.
its important to remember when audiences witnessed this for the first time the nation was in the last throes of the great depression. A depression that had gone on for 10 years and hollowed and caved out the nations hopes & dreams to a depth no one saw coming. she was basically singing for the nation here. its why it resonated so deeply with people aside from just being a great scene w/ an extraordinary talent delivering the song.
Well observed. Fortunately, I have a first edition copy of the original work by L. Frank Baum. Great book. The movie departed from it's story line quite a bit, but the film captured the hearts of millions and continued to do so for decades after it's release. Which, BTW, was just before the outbreak of WWII IN "39". Many believed, and many still do, that the story was allegorical for.......(?). There have been many hypotheses. Baum insisted that it was not. No matter. I still stop to watch this picture whenever it airs. Saw it as a boy in the 60s and loved it. Still do.
@Ellison Hamilton I don't think that the crackpot analyses of the story really started in Baum's time, especially since he was such a prolific author, not only of books, but of essays, articles, and plays. If he'd wanted to say something political, he wouldn't hide it in a children's story, he'd be explicit and say what he meant to say with no varnish. He was a very outspoken man, and he realized that there was a place for everything and that everything should be in its place.
Makes me so mad how they exploited and abused this girl. She was basically a slave. They fed her drugs to make her perform. I was very rebellious at that age and I would have been hell on wheels for them. They probably would have fired me and hired someone more docile. Poor Judy though. Her short life was nothing short of hell.
Amanda, you are right. The last few years of her life she was rightfully angry about her childhood being stolen from her in order to please and make money for the adults all around her who should have been watching out for her and protecting her. It is really hard to believe that MGM didn't recognize the enormity of her talent. I believe that had she been treated with love and respect during her formative years, (from her mother and bosses) she could have dodged the amphetamines and barbiturates which damaged her and finally destroyed her. What a tragedy; talent like hers is as rare as perfect diamonds.
My grandfather and I would sing this together. He rescued me from an abusive household twice and protected me as best as he could. Sadly we lost him to cancer. This song just brings back memories of him
Judy Garland's singing ability at age 16 was incredible for someone so young. Her phrasing, dynamics and expression were incomparable. She was one in a million.
It's astounding to think that this song was almost not included in the film. It was cut during previews of The Wizard of Oz in June 1939 because Louis B. Mayer, the studio chief and the directors felt it was too long and too slow and that no one would want to hear a girl sing a slow ballad in a farm yard. How wrong they were.
I can’t even imagine how the film would be without this timeless classic, it might be slow but it’s certainly not something someone wouldn’t leave their work in the middle to listen to. It’s just so deep and soulful! I tried to sing this song in my Judy Garland Tribute medley, for her 100th birthday! It’s not perfect like the original of course, but it would mean a lot if you saw it!😇
Actually .... it's not surprising! You have to remember ......... we are at an advantage ..... because we got to enjoy the finished product, and we didn't have to create this film and it's score! Because no one knows the future, decisions can be made that hurt or enhance anything/anyone! The powerful impact of the song, and Dorothy's realism in conveying just what the director(s) hoped for ... saved this song and the beautifully emotive scene, (helped by the ~black & white/sepia~ filming)~!~
Oh yes, dying to this song would be a lovely way to go. I never knew that fact. As my Grammy used to say "You learn something new everyday". Peace & Hope...
@@johnflavin1602 Yeah cancel culture republicans who are banning books left and right they don't like exposing there racism and hate they have from there children's schools all across the USA.
I thought this was only my opinion, but now i see it's a concensus. This song is attached to her soul, part of our souls as well, it will never change. Judy still warms up my heart, and forever will.
Somewhere Over the Rainbow is not just Judy's signature song, it's her life story. The song represents the tragedies she endure. The death of her loving father when she was 13, putting up with an abusive and selfish mother, her drug problem, failing marriages, struggling to be a mother to her children that she loved so much, and her fall from grace. Now she is free from her sadness and has flown over the rainbow and into the arms of her father
Same here, except for me it was in the 80's. It's definitely one of those movies and songs I was exposed to which permanently imprinted a tender soft sadness aspect in me as I was growing up. There were a few like this one that did.😪
Judy was 16 in this movie. In this sequence, she has some dialogue and sounds just like a kid. Then she begins to sing and this incredible thing happens. What a talent.
You should hear the radio version of _Wizard_ from 1950! When she speaks as Dorothy, she sounds just like she did in the movie, but her singing was even more full and rich than here, which is saying something!
@@MaskedMan66 It would still be pretty cool. I can imitate a few artists, and I have come somewhat close to it. But alas, I will never be able to get it perfect. Fun fact about her daughter, with it being scoliosis awareness month, she had scoliosis (IDK if you know what scoliosis is, I just want to share random facts)
Dieses Lied hat meine Mutter durch eine sehr schwere, lange, leidvolle Zeit im Krankenhaus begleitet. Wir haben es auch gespielt, als wir sie im Juni 2021 zu Grabe getragen haben. Seitdem für mich sehr schwer zu ertragen und er rührt mich jedes Mal zu Tränen. Und trotzdem wunderschön. Ich vermisse Dich, Minki.🖤
It’s one of her films that I really love. But I love “Meet me in St. Louis” as much. When Judy ( possibly at her most beautiful )sings “Have yourself a Merry little Christmas” to Margret O’Brian to me it’s as beautiful a scene as Over the Rainbow”. Judy’s voice could express that feeling of deep longing for that which is now lost to us, and that which can never be attained.
Born in 55 as well. Looked forward every year as a kid to see the movie repeat. Great song. Even Judy later in life couldn't match her 16 year old voice
Everytime Judy Garland is mentioned or if the Wizard of Oz is playing, my mother would often comment on how hard of a life she had and it is sad (and I do agree with her). I am sure she would think Judy Garland would fit well with perpetual dreamer.
She was a seasoned professional when she started on this movie, and proved her worth and her maturity to cast and crew, impressing everybody. Even the acerbic screenwriter Noel Langley, who had very few compliments to give, praised her for her maturity and politeness.
And they abused the hell out of her. I feel really bad for her, because she had giggling fits during the famous slap scene with the cowardly lion and got slapped herself😞
@@SillyCreatureSally She was not abused. Nobody would have wanted to, because everyone loved her; what the heck was there not to love? She got giggle fits all the time, and on those occasions, they just waited for her to get it out of her system. On this one and only occasion that she got slapped, they had to finish a shot before the studio shut down for the evening, and that time was fast approaching. So, as one will do for someone in hysteria (to which a giggle fit is related), Victor Fleming smacked her across the face and told her to get the job done, and she nailed the next take, which is the one used in the film. Afterward-- and of course this is the bit people don't talk about because for some perverse reason they want to make it look like Judy went through hell-- Fleming told John Lee Mahin to break his nose for what he'd done. Overhearing him, Judy walked up to him and said, "I won't break your nose, but I will kiss it." So saying, she did.
Judy Garland was truly blessed with one of the most beautiful voices of all time. So sad / tragic that wonderful performers such as Judy (Marilyn Monroe) die at such young ages. 😢💔
@@MaskedMan66That's the thing. He didn't butcher the lyrics. He made it his own song, changed even the melody. He didn't do a cover, he made a masterpiece.
@Summer Rose MGM was only one studio. The drugs Judy took were actual medicine, and most actors were prescribed them for many movies. Judy wasn't overweight as such, but she was a C-cup, which wouldn't do for the child she was playing, so they took what measures were available-- which included weight control and costuming-- to make her more physically childlike. They had absolutely no intentions of making her an addict (which she did not become until later in life) or an anorexic (which she never was).
@@MaskedMan66 again. Why you're focusing on painting the studio in a positive light when what they were doing was wrong is beyond me. The studio chief called her his little hunchback. All her depression and self esteem problems and ultimately addiction stems from being told as a 13 year old girl she was not pretty or thin enough.
A classic song for all time. There is no movie theme song that could ever hold a candle to Over The Rainbow. The world will never get tired of hearing this song. It will live on forever.
Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high There's a land that I've heard of once in a lullaby. Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue And the dreams that you dare to dream, Really do come true. Someday I'll wish upon a star And wake up where the clouds are far behind me. Where troubles melt like lemon drops, Way above the chimney tops, That's where you'll find me. Somewhere over the rainbow, blue birds fly Birds fly over the rainbow Why then, oh why can't I? Somewhere over the rainbow, blue birds fly Birds fly over the rainbow Why then, oh why can't I? If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow Why, oh why can't I?
Vince (my big brother's name was Vince!), you sir, are by NO MEANS alone~!~ I'm pushing 70, and can't get past the opening of the film! Every time I see her reach for Toto's outstretched paw my eyes water up,, and at the end of her last sung note, reaches out ... and brokenheartedly embraces Toto. I can hardly bare it. God Bless~!~ Sonny.
I grew up in an abusive home. This song pulled me through a lot. I'd sing it to myself all the time, wishing I were somewhere else, over the rainbow. I'm far away from that situation now, but years later as an adult I still get teary-eyed listening to it.
Somewhere, over the rainbow, way up high There's a land that I heard of once in a lullaby Somewhere, over the rainbow, skies are blue And the dreams that you dare to dream Really do come true Someday I'll wish upon a star And wake up where the clouds are far behind me Where troubles melt like lemon drops Away above the chimney tops That's where you'll find me Somewhere, over the rainbow, bluebirds fly Birds fly over the rainbow Why then -oh, why can't I? Somewhere, over the rainbow, bluebirds fly Birds fly over the rainbow Why then -oh, why can't I? If happy little bluebirds fly Beyond the rainbow Why, oh, why can't I?
She was just a child with the voice of an angel. I remember the first time I saw this movie and how I loved this beautiful song sung by this amazing young lady. Judy this will always be your song.
Judy Garland’s greatness was evident at an early age. Her voice and style are instantly recognizable. Her sensitivity to the music and lyrics transcends any other interpretation of Over the Rainbow. Judy was truly unique.
She put feeling and emotion into her songs. Just posted elsewhere about the song "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" from "Meet Me In St. Louis"....same intense emotion. It was like she became the character she was portraying. RIP JUDY😔❤
Judy knocked this out of the box. It is hard to appreciate how good it sounds from a movie soundtrack. She was pretty young as well. No one else can sing this song this well. Hard to believe it came from a movie studio.
It must have been around 1970 or so when I saw The Wizard of Oz for the first time (I was around 5 years old) and I remember seeing those flying monkeys and it scared the living hell out of me. I don't know how many times I've watched this movie but Judy Garland's voice was absolutely incredible. I've heard many people sing this song, but I still go back to her version and consider it the best.
About 40 years ago I went to a theatre that had a midnight double special, primarily for young college kidsl: The Wizard of Oz and Freaks. The crowd was young, raucous, filled with drink and other substances. But when this song began, everyone quieted down to listen. Some people sang along softly; a young girl next to me had tears streaming down her cheeks. I've never forgotten that, the power of this song. In my opinion, the high point of film.
Exquisite phrasing, gorgeous tone, every move, every expression brings home the meaning of the words in a heart touching way. Judy Garland was phenomenal. My favorite line of hers: "if I ever go looking for my heart's desire again, I won't look any further than my own backyard; because if it isn't there, I never really lost it to begin with." Amen. Let it be so.
Born OTD 100 years ago. JUDY GARLAND was too talented and sensitive for this cold, cruel world. Today we honor her memory and timeless talent by celebrating her many, wonderful gifts she left us and paying tribute to her. HBD JUDY!!
True. She was a legend, gone too soon but will be loved forever by millions. ♾ I tried to sing this song in my Judy Garland Tribute medley, for her 100th birthday! It’s not perfect like the original of course, but it would mean a lot if you saw it!😇
@@crowMilatonin Not true; there are a lot of self-abusers whose upbringing has not been bad. Conversely, there are some people with terrible upbringings who have risen above them. It's not as simple as you want to make it.
@@MaskedMan66 sometimes you just feel down out of no where, no? And you wonder why.... And there you just got lost in that question still finding the reason of why you are sad..
@@gaporion1973 I wouldn't call Mascagni's piece the "original". Yes "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" took some serious inspiration from it, but there is still a great deal of new material, and it wouldn't be right to say that Arlen's work is not original.
Sixteen, actually! She recorded the song before the cameras started rolling. It's interesting to note that when her daughter Liza Minnelli was cast as the voice of Dorothy for the animated feature "Journey Back to Oz," she was also sixteen! :-)
I can’t agree more, such a timeless classic! I tried to sing this song in my Judy Garland Tribute medley, for her 100th birthday! It’s not perfect like the original of course, but it would mean a lot if you saw it!😇
One of the most beautiful songs ever recorded by one of the most beautiful and talented actress of the 20th. century! What a voice! Brings me to tears every time! RIP Judy!!!
Agree so much! 🤩 I tried to sing this song in my Judy Garland Tribute medley, for her 100th birthday! It’s not perfect like the original of course, but it would mean a lot if you saw it!😇
One of the most hideous lies that people tell about Judy's time on the movie is the one about her co-stars hating her and being jealous of her. The truth is that they loved her, and how could they not?
I'm 70 and ever since I was a young child I've have never missed "OZ" Loved it then, love it now. Still, this beautiful song as sung only by Judy Garland mesmerizes me. Unbelievable voice, unbelievable talent. I truly believe she sung this song for everyone.
The whole movie is one of those rare instances of just the right people being together at just the right time to create something that is greater than the sum of its parts.
At the time, the producers did not think the song fit in. Although it's hauntingly beautiful, the switch from her speaking like a 12 year old to singing like a grown-up woman *is* a bit jarring. Then again, I didn't mind that when I first saw it.
@@hermanrobak1285 The movie only had one producer, and he fought like heck to keep the song IN the movie! And there's nothing jarring about Judy's performance at all.

"most perfect version", You mean, SINCE HER version is the most famous (and probably the one you & other have heard FIRST), then it becomes the "standard", and any other stylistic departures from THAT are deemed "less perfect.". ... You remind me of these people who automatically assume that (in life) that the side who told you their version of historical facts FIRST (before their competitor could get to you ) is the correct/truthful side. Your comment reminds me of what a world of fools this is.
@@michaelmunoz7448
Not even in the same universe.
its important to remember when audiences witnessed this for the first time the nation was in the last throes of the great depression. A depression that had gone on for 10 years and hollowed and caved out the nations hopes & dreams to a depth no one saw coming. she was basically singing for the nation here. its why it resonated so deeply with people aside from just being a great scene w/ an extraordinary talent delivering the song.
kelvinkloud your grammar is great
This was released 7 days before the advent of WWII!!
Well observed. Fortunately, I have a first edition copy of the original work by L. Frank Baum. Great book. The movie departed from it's story line quite a bit, but the film captured the hearts of millions and continued to do so for decades after it's release. Which, BTW, was just before the outbreak of WWII IN "39".
Many believed, and many still do, that the story was allegorical for.......(?). There have been many hypotheses.
Baum insisted that it was not.
No matter. I still stop to watch this picture whenever it airs.
Saw it as a boy in the 60s and loved it. Still do.
Very well said!
@Ellison Hamilton I don't think that the crackpot analyses of the story really started in Baum's time, especially since he was such a prolific author, not only of books, but of essays, articles, and plays. If he'd wanted to say something political, he wouldn't hide it in a children's story, he'd be explicit and say what he meant to say with no varnish. He was a very outspoken man, and he realized that there was a place for everything and that everything should be in its place.
Makes me so mad how they exploited and abused this girl. She was basically a slave. They fed her drugs to make her perform. I was very rebellious at that age and I would have been hell on wheels for them. They probably would have fired me and hired someone more docile. Poor Judy though. Her short life was nothing short of hell.
What a self serving, disrespectful comment about a wondrous talent who left us all a great legacy of love & performance.
u.n. owen And you're an ignorant dum dum. Do some research fool.
Amanda, you are right. The last few years of her life she was rightfully angry about her childhood being stolen from her in order to please and make money for the adults all around her who should have been watching out for her and protecting her. It is really hard to believe that MGM didn't recognize the enormity of her talent. I believe that had she been treated with love and respect during her formative years, (from her mother and bosses) she could have dodged the amphetamines and barbiturates which damaged her and finally destroyed her. What a tragedy; talent like hers is as rare as perfect diamonds.
Yes. Starting from her OWN MOTHER. She exploited her and allow a lot of the abuse
@@79agp I don't have to, I watch & listen to her performances, which will outlive you.
My grandfather and I would sing this together. He rescued me from an abusive household twice and protected me as best as he could. Sadly we lost him to cancer. This song just brings back memories of him

Judy Garland's singing ability at age 16 was incredible for someone so young. Her phrasing, dynamics and expression were incomparable. She was one in a million.
I'm convinced she was a prodigy.
Not million but rather on in a billion.
@@nonamenone3030 No, they didn't.
Poor young women she never was allowed to be a kid.😢
@@Packard1947 Young woman, you mean. And she was definitely a kid. She didn't have a normal childhood, but she was a teen who did teen things.
It's astounding to think that this song was almost not included in the film.
It was cut during previews of The Wizard of Oz in June 1939 because Louis B. Mayer, the studio chief and the directors felt it was too long and too slow and that no one would want to hear a girl sing a slow ballad in a farm yard.
How wrong they were.
I can’t even imagine how the film would be without this timeless classic, it might be slow but it’s certainly not something someone wouldn’t leave their work in the middle to listen to. It’s just so deep and soulful!
I tried to sing this song in my Judy Garland Tribute medley, for her 100th birthday! It’s not perfect like the original of course, but it would mean a lot if you saw it!😇
Wow. They had that wrong. This song made the movie. Sometimes management is wrong
Actually .... it's not surprising! You have to remember ......... we are at an advantage ..... because we got to enjoy the finished product, and we didn't have to create this film and it's score! Because no one knows the future, decisions can be made that hurt or enhance anything/anyone! The powerful impact of the song, and Dorothy's realism in conveying just what the director(s) hoped for ... saved this song and the beautifully emotive scene, (helped by the ~black & white/sepia~ filming)~!~
It was never actually cut because Mervyn LeRoy fought like the dickens to keep it in, and he prevailed.
@@newmoon54 Great comment, just wondering why are there so many ellipses?

After hundreds of covers this is still the best version. Judy gave this song a soul!
It's truly her song. This song speaks to the depths of the soul
I thought this was only my opinion, but now i see it's a concensus. This song is attached to her soul, part of our souls as well, it will never change. Judy still warms up my heart, and forever will.
Somewhere Over the Rainbow is not just Judy's signature song, it's her life story. The song represents the tragedies she endure. The death of her loving father when she was 13, putting up with an abusive and selfish mother, her drug problem, failing marriages, struggling to be a mother to her children that she loved so much, and her fall from grace. Now she is free from her sadness and has flown over the rainbow and into the arms of her father
@@carlossmith7043 That’s so Beautifully Said ❤
@@meganbateman5634 It "represents" no such thing. It was written as the yearning wish of a young Kansas girl named Dorothy Gale.
I had to come and listen to Dorothy sing "Over the Rainbow" on her 100th birthday.
Happy 102nd birthday, Judy❤ Your voice continues to bless people more than 50 years after you left. I pray you are at peace over the rainbow🌈
As a young boy watching this for the first time (1975)... I was never the same again ! :)
Same here, except for me it was in the 80's. It's definitely one of those movies and songs I was exposed to which permanently imprinted a tender soft sadness aspect in me as I was growing up. There were a few like this one that did.😪

Judy was 16 in this movie. In this sequence, she has some dialogue and sounds just like a kid. Then she begins to sing and this incredible thing happens. What a talent.
You should hear the radio version of _Wizard_ from 1950! When she speaks as Dorothy, she sounds just like she did in the movie, but her singing was even more full and rich than here, which is saying something!

@chris falkenberg And... what have you to say about this bit of movie footage?
@chris falkenberg Clarify.
There are 2 types of people in the world: Those who build and those who destroy.
Timeless classic. I love the original version. One of the sweetest melodies of all time.
Who else agrees that Wizard of Oz is Judy's best film?
It’s one of her films that I really love. But I love “Meet me in St. Louis” as much. When Judy ( possibly at her most beautiful )sings “Have yourself a Merry little Christmas” to Margret O’Brian to me it’s as beautiful a scene as Over the Rainbow”. Judy’s voice could express that feeling of deep longing for that which is now lost to us, and that which can never be attained.
I have to give the edge to "Meet Me in St. Louis," but I would agree that this song was her greatest.
My favorite song and singer of all Judy Garland is a Rembrandt singer my favorite singer still.🥰
I was born 1955 i listen to this song & watched movie for years
Me too!
Born in 55 as well. Looked forward every year as a kid to see the movie repeat. Great song. Even Judy later in life couldn't match her 16 year old voice
I was born in 1956 and couldn't wait till this came around before Christmas every year!
Thank you granny for raising me to the classics. I miss you so much. I hope ur happy up there over the rainbow. RIP 1942-2021
She is singing about heaven, a place where there isnt any trouble, somewhere over the rainbow.
And that's where she is now.
I don't think that's what Harburg and Arlen had in mind, but it's a lovely idea.
❤
Billie Burke, who played the good witch, passed the following year;
Would be nice if she found her, somewhere over the rainbow.
dude my friend got mugged in heaven, no trouble my ass
Mum used to sing this too while ironing .she took her younger sister to see the film
Later on in 1949.
This remains one of the most beautiful sequences, songs, and voices in the history of American cinema, listening to young Judy as a perpetual dreamer.
Everytime Judy Garland is mentioned or if the Wizard of Oz is playing, my mother would often comment on how hard of a life she had and it is sad (and I do agree with her). I am sure she would think Judy Garland would fit well with perpetual dreamer.
I believe she was 15 when she sang this
@@iamjetl 16, if I do recall.
Judy Garland was one of a kind we'll never see anyone like her again
Judy was only 16 when this was recorded, such incredible talent and presence and beauty for one so young.
She was a seasoned professional when she started on this movie, and proved her worth and her maturity to cast and crew, impressing everybody. Even the acerbic screenwriter Noel Langley, who had very few compliments to give, praised her for her maturity and politeness.
They don’t make ‘em like this anymore that’s for sure!
@@toastednoodles You mean movies or stars? Or both? ;-)
And they abused the hell out of her. I feel really bad for her, because she had giggling fits during the famous slap scene with the cowardly lion and got slapped herself😞
@@SillyCreatureSally She was not abused. Nobody would have wanted to, because everyone loved her; what the heck was there not to love?
She got giggle fits all the time, and on those occasions, they just waited for her to get it out of her system. On this one and only occasion that she got slapped, they had to finish a shot before the studio shut down for the evening, and that time was fast approaching.
So, as one will do for someone in hysteria (to which a giggle fit is related), Victor Fleming smacked her across the face and told her to get the job done, and she nailed the next take, which is the one used in the film.
Afterward-- and of course this is the bit people don't talk about because for some perverse reason they want to make it look like Judy went through hell-- Fleming told John Lee Mahin to break his nose for what he'd done. Overhearing him, Judy walked up to him and said, "I won't break your nose, but I will kiss it." So saying, she did.
Judy Garland was truly blessed with one of the most beautiful voices of all time. So sad / tragic that wonderful performers such as Judy (Marilyn Monroe) die at such young ages. 😢💔

Wonderful actress & singer.
The way she was treated throughout her life was so sad 😭
She didn't treat herself all that well either.
@Summer Rose MGM was only one studio. The drugs Judy took were actual medicine, and most actors were prescribed them for many movies. Judy wasn't overweight as such, but she was a C-cup, which wouldn't do for the child she was playing, so they took what measures were available-- which included weight control and costuming-- to make her more physically childlike. They had absolutely no intentions of making her an addict (which she did not become until later in life) or an anorexic (which she never was).
@@MaskedMan66 pretty weird to defend studio executives that were clearly exploiting a child but hey man it's your take. Weird one though
@@milktots6933 What you're calling my "take" is merely the truth; anyone could tell it you.
@@MaskedMan66 again. Why you're focusing on painting the studio in a positive light when what they were doing was wrong is beyond me. The studio chief called her his little hunchback. All her depression and self esteem problems and ultimately addiction stems from being told as a 13 year old girl she was not pretty or thin enough.
A classic song for all time. There is no movie theme song that could ever hold a candle to Over The Rainbow. The world will never get tired of hearing this song. It will live on forever.

She was just a child with the voice of an angel. I remember the first time I saw this movie and how I loved this beautiful song sung by this amazing young lady. Judy this will always be your song.
Judy Garland’s greatness was evident at an early age. Her voice and style are instantly recognizable. Her sensitivity to the music and lyrics transcends any other interpretation of Over the Rainbow. Judy was truly unique.
I'm convinced she was a prodigy.
She put feeling and emotion into her songs. Just posted elsewhere about the song "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" from "Meet Me In St. Louis"....same intense emotion. It was like she became the character she was portraying. RIP JUDY😔❤
She nailed it. We all long for such a land. We can imagine a world just as she described it.
Judy knocked this out of the box. It is hard to appreciate how good it sounds from a movie soundtrack. She was pretty young as well. No one else can sing this song this well. Hard to believe it came from a movie studio.
I sing like Doris. She is a third cousin. I am more like Bonnie Tyler or Bonnie Raitt.
Shoot. I was cast singing this song in 6th.grade. Also, sound of music!
Such a voice. Very soothing. I used to sing Over the Rainbow as an audition song. Goodmlm night.
"Hard to believe it came from a movie studio."
Why?
It must have been around 1970 or so when I saw The Wizard of Oz for the first time (I was around 5 years old) and I remember seeing those flying monkeys and it scared the living hell out of me. I don't know how many times I've watched this movie but Judy Garland's voice was absolutely incredible. I've heard many people sing this song, but I still go back to her version and consider it the best.
About 40 years ago I went to a theatre that had a midnight double special, primarily for young college kidsl: The Wizard of Oz and Freaks. The crowd was young, raucous, filled with drink and other substances. But when this song began, everyone quieted down to listen. Some people sang along softly; a young girl next to me had tears streaming down her cheeks. I've never forgotten that, the power of this song. In my opinion, the high point of film.
@chris falkenberg What?
Exquisite phrasing, gorgeous tone, every move, every expression brings home the meaning of the words in a heart touching way. Judy Garland was phenomenal.
My favorite line of hers: "if I ever go looking for my heart's desire again, I won't look any further than my own backyard; because if it isn't there, I never really lost it to begin with."
Amen. Let it be so.
Born OTD 100 years ago. JUDY GARLAND was too talented and sensitive for this cold, cruel world. Today we honor her memory and timeless talent by celebrating her many, wonderful gifts she left us and paying tribute to her. HBD JUDY!!

The whole movie is one of those rare instances of just the right people being together at just the right time to create something that is greater than the sum of its parts.
At the time, the producers did not think the song fit in. Although it's hauntingly beautiful, the switch from her speaking like a 12 year old to singing like a grown-up woman *is* a bit jarring. Then again, I didn't mind that when I first saw it.
