{"product_id":"book-j939","title":"C'mon, Get Happy","description":"In their third and final screen teaming, Judy Garland and Gene Kelly starred together in the MGM musical \u003ci\u003eSummer Stock\u003c\/i\u003e. In \u003ci\u003eC'mon, Get Happy\u003c\/i\u003e, authors David Fantle and Tom Johnson present a comprehensive study of this 1950 motion picture. The production coincided at a critical point in the careers of Kelly and an emotionally spent Garland. Kelly, who starred in \u003ci\u003eAn American in Paris\u003c\/i\u003e just one year later, was at the peak of his abilities. On the other hand, \u003ci\u003eSummer Stock\u003c\/i\u003e was Garland's final film at MGM, and she gamely completed it despite her own personal struggles. \u003ci\u003eSummer Stock\u003c\/i\u003e includes Kelly's favorite solo dance routine and Garland's signature number \"Get Happy.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe authors discuss in rich detail the contributions of the cast, the director, the producer, the script writers, the songwriters, and top MGM executives. The volume features extensive interviews, conducted by the authors, with Gene Kelly, Charles Walters, Harry Warren, and others, who shared their recollections of making the movie. Deeply researched, \u003ci\u003eC'mon, Get Happy\u003c\/i\u003e reveals the studio system at work during Hollywood's Golden Era. Additionally, the authors have written a special section that buttonholes numerous contemporary dancers, singers, choreographers, musicians, and even Garland impersonators for their take on \u003ci\u003eSummer Stock\u003c\/i\u003e, its stars, and any enduring legacy they think the film might have.","brand":"Tantor","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49350922371376,"sku":"BDj939","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio CD","offer_id":49350922404144,"sku":"ZEj939","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio MP3-CD","offer_id":49350922436912,"sku":"ZMj939","price":45.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/j939-Square-cover.jpg?v=1780520091","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-j939","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
