saw Meet Me in St. Louis (1944).a most wonderful film.Tootie rides on the ice truck with Mr. Neeley (Chill Wills) and explains to him that her doll, Margareta, has four fatal diseases. Margaret O'Brien was only seven years old when the film was released but had already appeared in half-a-dozen films for MGM, and she received second billing behind Garland, stealing scene after scene.the halloween scene was funny,the scene where margaret o brien runs away after throwing flour on the evil Mr. Brockoff has beautiful camera work.margaret o brien recd special juvenile Oscar that year. the trolley song is really spirited.'have yourself a merry little christmas' is a great song and will bring tears to your eyes.its a great classic.

Meet Me in St. Louis has witty and funny dialogues especially of children and the cook.the song Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas was meant for the american troops fighting in world war ii in foreign lands.

Have yourself a merry little Christmas,
Let your heart be light
From now on,
our troubles will be out of sight

Have yourself a merry little Christmas,
Make the Yule-tide gay,
From now on,
our troubles will be miles away.

Here we are as in olden days,
Happy golden days of yore.
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more.

Through the years
We all will be together,
If the Fates allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough.
And have yourself A merry little Christmas now
