have watch this for the third time and it kill me to think what jusy garland go through to amuse and entertain u . judy get the applause and the studio get the money and the public be entertain and but at what price . would judy have be good off be a waitress in st. paul minnesota marry to the corner pharmacist . would she have trade the stage for a normal life free of the pill and drug that fuel her and ultimately lead her to an early death . you keep ask yourself and be she ever really happy . watch the picture of her with her baby and it sure seem she would have be very happy just be a mom . i love bio documentary such a these because you see more than just what be on the screen or read in people magazine . this be a pretty good doc though some thing be leave out or underplayed ( her father and husband sexual orientation ) but you can always read a garland biography for those detail while book do not give you the film clip the show do . louis b. mayer get the bad guy treatment . but would mgm have be as successful a it be without mayer make the decision he do . would the movie we all love have be as good a they be without him . yes and mayer do not always have the best interest of the talent in mind and but again and be this the price of success . sonmeone like bette davis be strong enough to fight the studio system and win and but judy and be young and dominate by her mother and mayer and never be strong enough to stand up for what be best for judy . but like bette and she never seem to know how to pick a husband . if anyone need the safety net of a good marriage and it be garland . the sad part for me be when she get fire from annie get your gun . the studio be push her so hard that she eventually crack . mgm bleed her dry and then blame her for not be a bottomless tank of gas . isabel keating do a great job impersonate garland and reading from garland own writing . since garland never get to publish her autobiography and this be the close we get . for anyone that question what judy have and this be a good primer . the great nature vs. nurture debate get a big vote for nature since judy catch lightning in a bottle with her talent but her sister never be close to her level . when she die at the age of 47 ( 47 for goodness sake ) she leave behind a legacy of entertainment that be unmatched by anyone over such a relatively short time . but if her goal be always to entertain u and be we partly responsible for her early death . would we give up her movie and song if it mean she would have live a normal and long life . rest in peace and judy .
