Salinger orchestrated most of the musicals that MGM is famous for; among them, in addition to the 1951 "Show Boat", were "Girl Crazy" (the 1943 version), "Meet Me in St. Louis" (1944) (which included a memorable arrangement of "The Trolley Song"), "Anchors Aweigh" (1945), the 1947 film version of "Good News", "Summer Holiday" (1948), the 1949 film version of "On the Town", the 1950 film version of "Annie Get Your Gun", "Singin' in the Rain" (1952), the 1953 film version of "Kiss Me, Kate", "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers" (1954), "An American in Paris" (1951), "The Band Wagon" (1953), Gene Kelly's pioneering 1956 all-ballet film "Invitation to the Dance" and the original film musical "Gigi" (1958). His lush scoring for the ballet sequences in Lerner and Loewe's "Brigadoon" (1954) have come to be regarded as high points of the orchestrator's art in the Golden Age of musicals.
