Read any review or write-up on the movie, and you&#8217;ll learn all you need to know about the sad details surrounding Garland&#8217;s ongoing addiction, stint in rehab, 20-pound weight gain (leading to the oddity of a &#8220;show-stopping&#8221; finale number added several months after primary filming, at which point she&#8217;d clearly lost the weight), and overall struggles to make it to the set each day; you&#8217;ll also read about Kelly&#8217;s kindness in helping her through the ordeal (including <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0043012\/trivia?tr=tr0688163\">faking a fall one day to allow her to take the day off<\/a>). Ultimately, however, what really &#8220;matters&#8221; is whether the film succeeds or not &#8212; and critical opinions remain deeply divided on this point.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.dvdtalk.com\/dvdsavant\/s1975summ.html\"><br \/>\nDVD Savant<\/a>, for instance &#8212; while acknowledging the redeeming power of the musical numbers &#8212; argues that the plot&#8217;s &#8220;mechanics are even simpler than shows like <em>Babes on Broadway<\/em>: Save the farm, put on a show, ditch the loser love interests so the leads can get together&#8221;, and points out the &#8220;lazy way the&#8230; script abuses the supporting players&#8221; so that &#8220;amusing personality Eddie Bracken and so-so MGM contract player Gloria DeHaven both play unfunny, unpleasant jerks so as to make Garland and Kelly seem all the more virtuous for dumping them&#8221;. In his <a href=\"http:\/\/www.digitallyobsessed.com\/displaylegacy.php?ID=8552\">laudatory review for Digitally Obsessed<\/a>, however, David Krauss argues that the &#8220;snappy script&#8230; somehow makes the tired backstage story seem fresh&#8221;, and that &#8220;the colorful characters and brisk pacing (care of director Charles Walters, who also helmed <em>Easter Parade<\/em>) keep us fully engaged at all times&#8221;. <\/p>\n<p>In truth, I&#8217;m more in agreement with DVD Savant than Krauss on this debate; the cliched storyline is a bit <em>too<\/em> escapist for my blood (sorry, but <em>nothing<\/em> about Garland&#8217;s attempt to fill farming shoes &#8220;worked&#8221; for me) &#8212; and while I didn&#8217;t have much of a problem with DeHaven as Garland&#8217;s spoiled sister (or Bracken as her spineless fiance), the presence of Phil Silvers as Kelly&#8217;s irritating sidekick was simply cringe-worthy throughout. With all that said, the film is at least partially redeemed by a host of rousing musical numbers, as well as truly top-notch performances by both Garland and Kelly; whatever <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0043012\/trivia?tr=tr0667399\">troubles Garland may have been having<\/a> behind the scenes are (amazingly) nowhere in evidence on-screen. While only her stunning finale number (&#8220;Get Happy&#8221;) is memorable enough to stick in your head for days afterwards, the remaining songs are all enjoyable while they last, and perfectly suited for Garland&#8217;s timbre. Meanwhile, Kelly gets to dance one of his best, most creative numbers (and that&#8217;s saying a lot!) as he shuffles away on a wooden floor, engaging a newspaper for sound effects. It&#8217;s fun stuff. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Redeeming Qualities and Moments: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Judy Garland as Jane<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/Summer-Stock-Garland.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/Summer-Stock-Garland.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"384\" height=\"288\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-19795\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/Summer-Stock-Garland.png 384w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/Summer-Stock-Garland-128x96.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/Summer-Stock-Garland-300x225.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 384px) 100vw, 384px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Gene Kelly as Joe<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/Summer-Stock-Kelly.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/Summer-Stock-Kelly.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"384\" height=\"288\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-19796\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/Summer-Stock-Kelly.png 384w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/Summer-Stock-Kelly-128x96.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/Summer-Stock-Kelly-300x225.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 384px) 100vw, 384px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Kelly and Garland dancing the Portland Fancy<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/Summer-Stock-Portland-Fancy.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/Summer-Stock-Portland-Fancy.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"384\" height=\"288\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-19798\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/Summer-Stock-Portland-Fancy.png 384w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/Summer-Stock-Portland-Fancy-128x96.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/Summer-Stock-Portland-Fancy-300x225.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 384px) 100vw, 384px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Kelly&#8217;s truly classic solo tap-dance sequence<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/Summer-Stock-Kelly-Newspaper.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/Summer-Stock-Kelly-Newspaper.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"384\" height=\"288\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-19797\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/Summer-Stock-Kelly-Newspaper.png 384w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/Summer-Stock-Kelly-Newspaper-128x96.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/Summer-Stock-Kelly-Newspaper-300x225.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 384px) 100vw, 384px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Garland&#8217;s justifiably famous &#8220;Get Happy&#8221; finale<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/Summer-Stock-Get-Happy.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/Summer-Stock-Get-Happy.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"384\" height=\"288\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-19799\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/Summer-Stock-Get-Happy.png 384w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/Summer-Stock-Get-Happy-128x96.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/Summer-Stock-Get-Happy-300x225.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 384px) 100vw, 384px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Must See?
