An entrepreneur tries to turn a New England farm into a theatre.
Amazon.com essential video:
Judy Garland managed to subdue her ongoing medical problems long enough to make Summer Stock in 1950, her last film with MGM and longtime collaborator Gene Kelly. In a throwback to Garland's 'let's put on a show' films with Mickey Rooney, Kelly plays a theater director who sets up in Garland's barn to prepare his musical, but Garland has other ideas. Romantic entanglements ensue, of course, and Eddie Bracken, Phil Silvers, and Marjorie Main are on hand to lend comedic support. Following his mostly forgettable score in 1949's The Barkleys of Broadway, Harry Warren contributes another mostly forgettable score, though it's complemented with a few ringers from other songwriters. There are many enjoyable moments, however, including a lot of tap from Kelly. He and Garland share a tap duel at a square dance turned lindy hop, and Garland performs her classic 'Get Happy' routine in a black jacket and fedora. Kelly also performs a solo number to 'You Wonderful You' with no gimmicks--just a darkened stage, a squeaky floorboard, and a sheet of newspaper. --David Horiuchi

Rating:  - One of the BEST musicals - Don't miss it!
This is a great story with some of the best dancers, singers and actors of that generation. You will love it!
Rating: - it's all so peaceful on the other side
"Summer Stock" has always been one of my favorite movies. Because it's the type of old movie that everyone can enjoy. There's singing and dancing and lots of laughs and drama and theatrics. In this picture Miss Judy Garland (may she rest in peace) stars as Jane Falbury, a farmer who reluctantly allows a theater company to stay on at her farm to rehearse for their big performance. I know the story is a little hockey, but does that matter, really?

Rating: - We Love Judy! And after this we Love Gene, too!
My 4 yr old son is in love with Judy Garland. She is immortal & ageless in films. He also Loves Elvis. We rented this film from our library soo many times that I decided it was time to purchase it! I love encouraging my children to see old films like this one. They don't make movie stars like they used to!
Rating: - "Forget your troubles come on, GET HAPPY!"
In her last musical for MGM and her final film with Gene Kelly, Judy Garland plays Jane Falbury, a struggling farmer. Originally intended as a vehicle to re-team Judy Garland with Mickey Rooney, the studio decided, instead, to use Gene Kelly in the role of Joe Ross, as Mickey Rooney was no longer the box-office draw he had been. Of course, Gene was the perfect choice to replace Mickey Rooney, as he and Judy had been good friends since their first movie together in 1942's "For Me and My Gal."
