Monday Serenade: Get Happy
Filmed months after the completion of the rest of the film, this closing number from Summer Stock (1950) shows a slender, happy and buoyant Judy Garland. The number was a far cry from the rest of the production, where she had been bloated, ill and prone to mood swings--reportedly due to her increased dependency on drugs. It was her last film for MGM, the studio where she had grown up.
