In 1985, 16 years before her memoir became the basis for the television film Life with Judy Garland: Me and My Shadows, Lorna Luft narrated this documentary focusing on her mother's "second career" following her years at MGM. The 59-minute retrospective (reduced from its original 90 minutes) collects comments from family and colleagues, shows clips from concerts at the London Palladium, Carnegie Hall, and the Palace Theater, a previously unseen 30-second scene cut from her famous comeback film, A Star Is Born, and scenes from her short-lived TV show.
Not surprisingly, some of the footage spotlights Garland's affection for her kids: she shares the stage at the Palladium with Liza Minnelli and appears with Lorna and Joe Luft at the Palace and sings to them on her TV show. And while many of the songs are shown only in brief clips, there are a number of complete performances, including a duet with Barbra Streisand of "Get Happy" and "Happy Days Are Here Again," her dramatically charged rendition of the "Battle Hymn of the Republic" following JFK's death, "Ol' Man River," and "The Man That Got Away." And of course "Over the Rainbow" is here, in a 1955 performance that is the only TV recording of how she performed the song in concert: sitting on the edge of the stage, face-to-face with the audience. And it's a credit to Garland that even in hobo makeup, she lets the raw emotion of the song pour through. --David Horiuchi

Produced during the mid-80's (when Judy Garland's TV episodes had been languishing in studio vaults, mostly unseen and more or less forgotten since their original airings), this documentary dusted off some of Garland's most memorable live concert moments in addition to copious clips from her TV series. Narrated and hosted by daughter Lorna Luft and featuring interviews with Sid Luft, Tony Bennett, Melissa Manchester, Liza Minnelli and Mort Lindsey amongst others, it provides a fine illustration ...

This originally aired on PBS in the late eighties. Thrilled to have it on DVD. If you like Judy, this is a must have!

IF YOU ARE A JUDY GARLAND FAN, YOU NEED THIS DVD AMONG YOUR COLLECTION! SHE SING SOME SONGS THAT I HAVE NEVER HEARD HER SING BEFORE, FOR INSTANCE, "OLD MAN RIVER" FOR ONE. IT GAVE BE CHILLS TO HEAR HER SING THIS SONG. WITHOUT A DOUBT, SHE WAS THE GREATEST ENTERTAINER OF HER TIME AND THANK GOODNESS WE HAVE HER MOVIES AND ALBUMS TO LISTEN TO AND MOVIES TO WATCH.

I happily recorded this in 1985 when it aired on PBS and hung on that tape for many years, until the DVD was finally released. It's a terrific show!
And, in 1985, with the release of the entire "Judy Garland Show" on DVD still many years off, this was the only place to see many clips from that series, most of which, as Lorna said, "hadn't been seen for over 20 years" at that point.
I heartily agree with what everyone else wrote -- this is a great piece about the last 20 ... Read More

The disc is filled with clips of Judy Garland in concert and on TV, so some of the image and sound quality is a product of the time, but it includes some great clips.
