Summer Stock - If You Feel Like Singing…SING (Part 2)
Our deep dive into the 1950 MGM film Summer Stock ramps up as we enter into our first scene and it’s a scandalous one…Judy gets her Janet Leigh moment in the shower, without the violins and screaming!
Nate again joins me and brings his unique expertise as we delve into Judy’s sensitive state when she started filming Summer Stock in 1949. Far from a tragic person, we see the true resilience of Garland at a low point in her life and this movie is a testament to her greatness.
Please note: these episodes on Summer Stock deal with frank discussions on addiction and mental health. If you or someone you know requires resources in these areas please visit CAMH in Canada (1-800-463-2338 or camh.ca) and NIMH (988 or nimh.nih.gov) in the US.
