Yay, this was great! Looking forward to more Judy reactions. You're so right about the poignancy of this period of her career...and Mickey's.

Hello. The movie this scene “I Got Rhythm” is from “Girl Crazy.” The movie was filmed/released in 1943 when Judy was 21. The Decca recording being played instead of the actual soundtrack was made in 1944 when Judy was 22. I would try to view the movie with the actual soundtrack if I were you. ❤

It was only afterward as I was editing that I noted it was the Decca soundtrack. Not sure I will redo this video since it seems to sync up pretty well but if I can find it, I'll watch.

@@DarlingReacts The “I Got Rhythm” musical sequence of this movie is iconic. Busby Berkeley choreographed this elaborate number, but was later fired because of his treatment of Judy. The sequence was kept in the final cut of the film.

Thank you, that was a great reaction! I love Judy too - more please; the more Judy, the better!

Although I prefer her Decca vocal to her movie vocal--though both are aces--with the movie you also get to hear the Tommy Dorsey orchestra, which is no small beer. As for the dance section, I always felt that they--Judy and Mickey--were held back by those clumsy boots.

Besides her singing and dancing and acting, she had a fourth gift that people ignore - her lip syncing skills were par none.

Did not know but there's ample proof.... :)
