A classic 1944 musical adapted from the stories of Sally Benson, Meet Me in St. Louis was directed by Vincente Minelli and starred his future wife, Judy Garland. It follows the lives of the Smith family, who live in St. Louis during the turn of the century. In particular, it follows the second-eldest daughter, Esther, her youngest sister Tootie, and Esther's crush, John. Everyone is excited with the coming of the 1904 World's fair; however, that all changes when Mr. Smith announces that the family might be uprooted to New York.
