With each new image, each trailer, each clip, and now this featurette, any doubts one may have about JUDY seem to fade somewhere over the rainbow. This “making of” behind-the-scenes featurette captures the very magic that was, and still is, Judy Garland. There’s no doubt about it that JUDY will be an Oscar frontrunner. All that glitters may not be Oscar gold but rather, sparkling ruby slipper red.
Winter 1968 and showbiz legend Judy Garland arrives in Swinging London to perform a five-week sold-out run at “The Talk of the Town.” It is 30 years since she shot to global stardom in “The Wizard of Oz”, but if her voice has weakened, its dramatic intensity has only grown. As she prepares for the show, battles with management, charms musicians and reminisces with friends and adoring fans, her wit and warmth shine through. Even her dreams of love seem undimmed as she embarks on a whirlwind romance with Mickey Deans, her soon-to-be fifth husband. Featuring some of her best-known songs, the film celebrates the voice, the capacity for love, and the sheer pizzazz of “the world’s greatest entertainer.
