DVD Reviews of In the Good Old Summertime
DVD Review: Judy and Van in one of MGM's sunniest musicals
Summary: 4 Stars
A charming turn-of-the-century musical with a strong performance from Judy Garland, IN THE GOOD OLD SUMMERTIME is actually a remake of an earlier MGM property ("The Shop Around the Corner") which starred James Stewart and Margaret Sullavan as feuding workmates who are unknowlingly each other's lonely hearts pen-pal.
Veronica Fisher (Judy Garland) is the latest employee at the music shop run by Mr Oberkugen (the adorable S.Z. "Cuddles" Sakall), and right from the outset she ruffles the feathers of senior sales assistant Andrew Larkin (Van Johnson). Believing she's out to usurp his position in the store, Andrew decides to give her the cold shoulder. But unbeknowst to Andrew, Veronica is in fact his secret pen-pal. When he discovers her true identity, all manner of complications get in the way before Veronica learns the truth as well...
IN THE GOOD OLD SUMMERTIME was filmed during one of the most wretched periods in Judy Garland's personal life, yet miraculously there's not a single hint of her private pain on the screen. She turns in one of her most good-humoured performances as Veronica (her first scene with Van Johnson is hilarious); and sings up a storm with period-perfect numbers like "I Don't Care", "Put Your Arms Around Me, Honey", and "Meet Me Tonight in Dreamland".
Sadly this movie also features the last complete on-screen role for Buster Keaton, playing Oberkugen's accident-prone nephew. Whilst he'd later appear in a cameo role in Billy Wilder's "Sunset Boulevard" and earned a new set of fans as Chief Rotten Eagle in the "Beach Party" movie franchise; his screen career was starting to wind down in 1949.
Filled with lush costumes and sets in the best tradition of MGM's musicals, IN THE GOOD OLD SUMMERTIME is perfect viewing for any season of the year.
