Shot in soft-focus Technicolor by Oklahoma!'s Robert Surtees, A Date with Judy offers a candy-colored version of the high-school musical. In a cozy seaside town, 16-year-old Judy Foster (tiny soprano Jane Powell) and poor little rich girl Carol Pringle (a stunning Elizabeth Taylor, dubbed) prepare for the school dance. When Carol's brother, Oogie (former child star Scotty Beckett), stands up Judy--on Carol's advice--she takes new soda jerk Stephen (Written on the Wind's Robert Stack). Though Stephen can't take his eyes off Carol, he concedes, "You're the prettiest girl in Santa Barbara--and you know it." Afterwards, the girls compete for his affections, while Judy's dad, Melvin (The Champ's Wallace Beery), takes rumba lessons from Carmen Miranda's Rosita in preparation for his 20th wedding anniversary. Carol's mild conniving aside, there are no bad guys here, and all's well that ends well. Notable numbers include Powell's "It's a Most Unusual Day" and Miranda's "Cuanto le Gusta" with the Xavier Cugat Orchestra. Aside from the ladies on screen, Dorothy Cooper and Pal Joey's Dorothy Kingsley adapted the script from Aleen Leslie's 1941 radio play, hence lines like, "Don't try to understand women, just accept them." With direction by Ivanhoe's prolific Richard Thorpe and choreography from Singin' in the Rain's Stanley Donen, MGM's A Date with Judy serves up wholesome entertainment for all ages. Special features include the original trailer and two shorts, Martin Block's Musical Merry-Go-Round #3 with Ray Noble and Buddy Clark and Tom and Jerry's Professor Tom. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

Love Jane Powell. This is a great comedy. I always enjoy watching it. It has a great cast and is a fun movie. Like any of Jane Powellls movies I could watch it again and again and never tire of watching it. Any Jane powell movie is a must have in any classic DVD collection.

Enjoyed the simplistic story and the musical content. The acting was
good and sometimes quite funny.
Jane Powell is always a joy to see and enjoy her singing talent.
Loved Carmen Miranda and Cugat together. Liz Taylor is so beautiful
as always.
The colour wasn't great....it was to dark!

scene , I adore her .

After viewing this movie for the first time in over 40 years,I can safely say that it has not changed a bit.It's a very stale tale of life amongst the well to do kids and folks of the late 1940s.
The story concerns the story of two families the Pringles and the Fosters.The Pringles are father Lucien(Leon Ames),his daughter Carol(Elizabeth Taylor)and his son Ogden"Oogie"(Scotty Beckett-former Little Rascal).The Fosters are father Melvin(Wallace Beery),his wife(Selena Royle)and their daughter ...

This is a great musical film with the superb singing of Jane Powell, plus Carmen Miranda, Cugat,and the beautiful youthful Elizabeth Taylor.
The plot is funny and the story really enjoyable for all the family. This is what the great musicals were all about.
