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.
