My review

If there another 2 Legends of Hollywood it is Judy garland and Mickey Rooney so this first time I see them both in this one I see them in Andy Hardy movies and them 2 were great in them movies so looking forward to review Babes in arms so let see what I think indeed of this one below.

In this one story starts off in a good way a baby is born while father on stage he finds out later he is a father then we see scenes of that kid growing up then as teen he trying to get him and his girlfriend on big stage which is father could since he top guy he does end up sale his song for $100 yeah not too much he try’s again with more songs but his father turn them down he winds up trying to prove he can do it by put on his own show with them good idea but there will be tough challenges ahead for him later on he runs out money or so and a rich girl may put his love life with patsy in danger she leaves him after see him kiss the other girl she does get advice from her mom and she goes back so rich girl father finds out about her part In show he pulls her away from it so he gives the part to his girlfriend which should of done before maybe that why she left him too I bet. Look like everything was going well with the show but a storm roll though and ended something how writers did that to again make it look bad for Mickey because later

On he gets in a fight with father who was fired and wants to start over and wants Mickey to stop what he doing Mickey and him angry so I was oh writers were throw in bad before it ended well and well last 10 mins did prove it some the musical show went on and everything turn out good Mickey and Judy and everybody made this movie end in a great way even I clap at the end which I don’t do much what a great musical babes in arms is.

A very great musical movie no doubt for years this one will be a classic great acting singing as well even great songs the good morning song fits in well I heard it play on radio a few times in morning they made that song fun also a rare appearance for Margaret Hamilton which was cool she didn’t have a huge part but was great see her in this one. After see this I was indeed happy to see it and review it as this only start next few weeks I be reviewing a few of great with Judy and Mickey so next week stay turned will be reviewing girl crazy so after this looking forward to watching it so that will be next week in closing if you have not see this one and are fans of both Judy and Mickey do watch it this one will not let down that for sure.

That it for this week review have a good rest of your weekend.

I give babes in arms (1939) a rating of 7/10
