    Cheerful remake of The Shop around the Corner (qv), with agreeable music, garish colour and not much style.

    The Great Garland

    OK. It's a 1949 musical about a couple of people who correspond with each other but never meet but one works in a music shop and the other one gets a job there. Doesn't sound all that promising, does it? But there's one ingredient that makes this film very watchable indeed, and that's the great Judy Garland. She just seema to light up any film she's in, although the other actors, including Van Johnson, are very good in this offering as well. You know what's going to happen after five minutes, but somehow it doesn't matter at all. Settle down and wallow.
