Judy Garland's final film is an OK drama with some musical sequences.
The film is kind of a soap opera story of Judy trying to start a relationship with the son she abandoned years ago for a career in entertainment. The father is played by Dirk Bogarde.Apparently Judy was a real handful on the set. The director Ronald Neame and the star Dirk Bogarde had to deal with a moody high strung prima donna who couldn't be counted on to show up to film her scenes. Some critics have said that her angst ridden performance reveals the true Judy Garland. Watching the film there may actually be some truth to that.
Apparently Dirk Bogade was practically a co-director, he spent a lot of calming the high strung Garland. The rumor was that it was the only way the film got made.
