Michael Wilmington

Hollywood's great holiday musical is this sparkling adaptation of writer Sally Benson's memoir: a movie that takes us on a Currier and Ives 1903 holiday tour of St. Louis with the postcard-perfect Smith family. [08 Jan 2004, p.N1]

Jamie Russell

Combining some wonderful song and dance routines with a cast of memorable characters, Meet Me in St Louis is certainly one the best Hollywood musicals ever. It's also one of the least ostentatious. Read full review

It may be overly sentimental, but in my opinion, it's a great capper to the Christmas season. [26 Nov 2013, p.B3]

Filme clássico da sessão da tarde dos anos 50, com a trilha sonora que já avaliei no site Aoty, sobre o filme quando vi foi como se um mundo de artistas clássicos se abriu pra mim pois amei cada aspecto, os visuais, a graciosidade destes filmes é bem notável.

Nessa obra Judy Garland era muito bela não só nesses filmes mas como nos outros, uma cena curta que amo é 'Over The Bannister', a voz tinha um tom de calmaria, mesmo que em poucos minutos encanta de todas as maneiras.

O filme é aquele clássico com temática romântica, há um detalhe nele em sua qualidade de imagem e fotografia mesmo que para a época gravado nos anos 40.
Percebo que esse estilo estético víamos se exceder até os anos 50, até pensei que o filme era de 50 ou 60, além da trilha sonora impecável, a história é linda aliás tem uma música eternizante do Natal, 'Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas' hino cantado por muitos, uma obra de artes dos musicais!… Expand
