Judy Garland is delightfully annoying in Presenting Lily Mars (1943)! I really wish they'd let Van Heflin unleash that terrible spanking on her! This was adorable anyway, and the motherly figures Spring Byington & Fay Bainter only helped make it so. Perhaps not the most emotional or original of Garland's screen moments, but this is a cute film.

Quintessential Judy -- twitchy, hyperventilating, warm -- straddling her lost childhood (an old memory by 1943 I bet) and her beckoning camp adulthood. Musically, it runs from "Tom Tom the Piper's Son" to Verdi played for comedy (the best bit, says me) to, y'know, "Broadway Rhythm" underneath Tommy Dorsey's UFO-style stage. Keep your eye out for a young Annie Ross (!) as Judy's piano-pounding sister. Docked some points for miscasting Van Heflin.
