Review: Being a Judy newbie in terms of her later work, I was absolutely bowled over the first time I watched this DVD. This is one woman who truly wears her entire heart on her sleeve. Her renditions of "Old Man River," "Cottage For Sale," "Smile," and "The Man that Got Away" are in a word, monumental. I defy the hardest of hearts not to feel a welling up of emotions ranging from broken hearted to exhilarated during these songs. It's especially interesting to observe Judy's facial expressions, eyes, and body language as she delivers some of the most outstanding performances ever witnessed. "Cottage for Sale" in particular seems to really get to her at the end as she bows her head and catches her breath to check her emotions. And "Old Man River" is absolutely astounding, especially the finale in which you know she's feeling every last word down to the bone. No wonder she is worshipped the world over. This DVD shows why she is considered the eternal flame of show business. Another eye-opening aspect of these performances is the beauty in which they were filmed, almost "film noir" in effect and mood. Nothing cheesy as one might expect from a television variety show; so classy. Mel Torme's musical direction was exquisite. The sets, the camera angles, the gowns... oh my gawd, the gowns! Everything is a class act in this 28-song compilation from her series, but the best part is experiencing Judy herself. They don't make television shows like this anymore, and they certainly don't make singers like this anymore. This is a must have for any music lover. Next purchase: I recommend "the Judy Garland Show, Legends," featuring more solos (none repeated from Just Judy), and some amazing duets with the likes of Barbara, Tony, Liza, Peggy, Lena, and more.

Summary: The Judy Garland Show-Just Judy.
Review: Make your self a drink, turn off the lights, and be prepared to experience 90 minutes of pure musical heaven. There will never be anyone who can and will make you feel the range of emotions you will experience watching this remarkable work of art.Judy was not just a performer, she was an artist who put her heart into every note and she will make you feel it as well. Her life was one of many difficulties and saddness, but when she sang I believe she was able to escape it and she was able to be that happy little bluebird, over the rainbow.

As you can see, none of Judy Garland's classics are omitted! Every Judy fan must have this disk, alnog with the other Judy Garland Show DVDs! If you have not bought any of the Judy Garland Show DVDs, take my advice and buy The Judy Garland Show Collection! It includes this disk along with 14 full episodes of her show, and is only a little over $100.
Both are great buys though, either way! If you love JUDY GARLAND, then this DVD is a Must Have!
