A lovely film I have visitors coming but will watch on catch-up. It makes me cry too.

Love this film, but Have yourself a merry little Christmas always makes me cry.

Agree, Grandmabatty. It's pure nostalgia. Have switched over for Countdown but will watch the rest on iplayer!,

I'm watching it now. Vincent Minelli could bring out the beauty in Judy. That, and her incomparable voice. One of my favourite songs too- Have yourself a Merry Little Christmas.

What a treat, wonderful singing from Judy Garland. Watching the awful backdrops just add to the fun!
