Episode 39: Christmas 2021 When Movies Were Good

    • Film History

We cannot believe we are already uploading the second Christmas special of When Movies Were Good! Thank you all for listening. We selected two well-known Christmas classics to cap off the year. The first, Meet Me in St Louis (1944), is a Technicolor marvel. Starring Judy Garland, this movie was where the staple Christmas carol 'Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas' was introduced to the public. The second move, Miracle on 34th Street (1947), is a heart-warming tale. It is a film that has stood the test of time not only because of its great cast including a young Natalie Wood, Edmund Gwenn, and Maureen O'Hara, but because of a very well-executed script.
