Original U.S. one sheet poster for the Vincente Minnelli classic musical romance, MEET ME IN ST. LOUIS (1944) starring Judy Garland, Margaret O’Brien, Mary Astor, and Lucille Bremer. Set in St. Louis in 1904, this film creates an unabashed nostalgia for an idealized America in an age of innocence before the two World Wars. One of Vincente Minnelli’s finest films, and one of the crown jewels of MGM, MEET ME IN ST. LOUIS is all that one could ever hope for in an MGM musical. The film tells the story of the Smith family, living in St. Louis Missouri just before the time of the St. Louis World’s Fair. The Smith girls are coming of age, except for the darling Tootie Smith, immortally portrayed by Margaret O’Brien. When their father threatens to upend their happy life in St. Louis by taking a job in New York, each of the girls must
come to terms with change in their own way. One of the greatest of Garland’s roles, MEET ME IN ST. LOUIS has become a favorite family film. The one sheet is unmounted and in very fine condition.
