Thoroughbreds Don't Cry

Release date: 03-15-2011

Judy and Mickey's first on-screen pairing (1937). It's a better film than we all remember, mainly due to the talents of the young performers and the one and only Sophie Tucker. Judy only sings one song "Gotta Pair of New Shoes" but it's a charmer. Keep an eye out, some of the stock horse raising footage also popped up in Jean Harlow's final film Saratoga co-starring Clark Gable, also released in 1937.

Little Nellie Kelly

Release date: 03-15-2011

Judy's charming 1940 film features her singing such hits as "Singin' In The Rain," "A Pretty Girl Milking Her Cow," and "It's a Great Day For The Irish." The film also has the distinction of being the only time Judy had a death scene, playing the mother who dies after giving birth to Nellie Kelly (Judy plays both roles). It's a great, vintage MGM Musical.

This 4-disc set features many great MGM shorts in which some future stars make early appearances, such as Virginia O'Brien and, in their last official appearance together, "The Garland Sisters."

This is the second appearance on DVD of their 1935 Technicolor short La Fiesta de Santa Barbara. It was previous released as an extra on the 2004 DVD release of For Me And My Gal. This new set is jammed full of great, vintage shorts making their debut on DVD. Definitely worth buying.

Judy's 1938 film Everybody Sing is coming to The Warner Home Video Archive. This is the first Judy Garland film to be featured at the Archive, excepting her guest appearance in Thousands Cheer (see below).

Release date: 10-06-2009

Check out their site for updates and details.

This probably means that any pressed DVD release of "Judy Garland The Early Years at MGM" won't happen. The remaining Garland films yet to be released on DVD are: Thoroughbreds Don't Cry - Listen Darling - Little Nellie Kelly - Andy Hardy Meets Debutante and Life Begins for Andy Hardy. Pepe is unreleased as well, but it only contains Judy's voice for one song on the soundtrack.

The first Garland release was the April 14, 2009 addition of 1943's Thousands Cheer, which features Judy's guest appearance singing "The Joint Is Really Jumpin' Down At Carnegie Hall". This was Judy's first appearance in Technicolor after 1939's The Wizard of Oz. It's also the first time that Judy makes a guest appearance on film as herself.
