Judy's final film performance features one of her best on-screen portrayals, playing an American concert performer very much like her real self. Her old friends and songwriters E.Y "Yip" Harburg and Harold Arlen wrote the title song.

A note about "It Never Was You": The version heard on this album is actually an alternate take of the performance as recorded live on the set with David Lee at the piano. A studio version recorded for the film, with orchestrations by Mort Lindsey, was released in 2006 on the Capitol CD "The Essential Judy Garland".

This soundtrack was available for years, then disappeared until it was finally re-released on CD in 2002.
