Harvey Girls - Harvey Girls - Blu-ray

HARVEY GIRLS - Vittles, songs and dance are amply ladled out when Judy Garland headlines The Harvey Girls, a joyous musical slice of Americana celebrating the restaurants that brought extra helpings of civilization to Old West rail passengers. Highlights include Garland holding saloon patrons at jittery gunpoint to retrieve stolen beefsteaks, Ray Bolgers loose-limbed comic hoofing, Virginia OBriens sure-shot comic timing, Angela Lansburys stylish wickedness as a saloon singer and the On the Atchison, Topeka and the Santa Fe romp (which nabbed the 1946 Best Song Academy Award) that is deservedly famous, one of the most triumphant sequences in screen-musical history (Pauline Kael, The New Yorker). All aboard! Run time : 1 hour and 41 minutes
