Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe film began as a project for Annette Bening to star in.
- GoofsJudy sings the wrong "Eli Eli" to Louis Mayer. We hear her sing an Israeli song that begins "Eli Eli" but had not yet been written at the time. (It's more properly known as "Walking to Caesaria.") An entirely different "Eli Eli," one of the most popular Jewish songs in the early days of the phonograph, is what we should have heard.
- Quotes
Judy Garland: Uninsurable? Uh-huh?... of course I can do eight shows a week, I did eight shows a day in vaudeville... well even the greatest performer in the world can occasionally catch a cold and miss a performance! Let me tell you something: I have been in show business for forty years. That's thirty-five movies, six hundred radio shows, seventeen hundred concerts...! Difficult? Yes, I've heard how difficult it is to work with Judy Garland, do you know how difficult it is to *be* Judy Garland? I've been trying to be Judy Garland all my life!
- Alternate versionsThe DVD version of the film has a number at the Palace theatre removed from the body of the film, but is retained as an extra feature on the disc.

A Brilliant Performance
I never thought I would be watching a 170 minute biog on Judy Garland. I doubt that I would have watched a TV biog on Judy Garland at 90 minutes! I figure there was only one Garland and any TV biog attempt would result in a cheap imitation for pure sensationalism. Glad to report that I was wrong. It's all thanks to Judy Davis' mesmerizing performance as the legendary Garland. Once on the screen, Davis left no doubt that she WAS Judy Garland and her performance never looked back from there. Miss Davis seemed to get inside Garland's skin and capture not only mannerisms an physical movements, but the spirit of this troubled legend. A brilliant performance, well supported by a fine cast, good writing (based on the book by daughter Lorna Luft) and excellent production values. Impressive also was Tammy Blanchard as the young Judy Garland. Well worth the time!
