FOR ME AND MY GAL (MGM 1942)
(Release Date: April 6, 2004)

Judy and Gene Kelly's first film together, and Gene's film debut, is a delightful look back at the heyday of Vaudeville. Director Busby Berkeley later refered to this film as his favorite of all he directed. And it's no wonder. Judy and Gene are in top form. Judy especially shows why she was the "triple-threat" girl. She acts beautifully, dances wonderfully, and of course sings like a bird. Judy is so good in this film that even some of the (in today's world) more maudlin lines make perfect sense coming from her, and are totally believable.

In my book, this is the best on-film representation of live on the Vaudeville Circuit.

Also released October 12, 2004 as a special "two-fer" budget priced set with In The Good Old Summertime (see below).

August 29, 2006: For Me And My Gal is released as part of the 5-DVD set "Leading Ladies Of The Studio Era", and is re-packaged in the sturdier, and much preferred, "amaray case" (clamshell) packaging (see image at right).
