Meet Me in St. Louis

I heard Judy Garland’s version of “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas and was moved, and learned it was part of this movie.
I found Judy Garland as a teenager (as opposed to the younger Judy Garland as a girl in The Wizard of Oz) horrifying. The musical numbers seemed painfully stagey. I had to stop watching. NOTE: the fault was probably in me; I was too fixated on what seemed to me the strangeness of Judy Garland’s performance and look.
