Customer Reviews of A Date with Judy

The exhilarating Carmen Miranda almost stole the show...
In "A Date with Judy," Liz is fully the poor little rich girl, snobbish and out for trouble because her father's real attention is elsewhere, on making money... <
> <
>Unhappy at home, she stirs up trouble abroad, giving naive Jane Powell bad advice on how to handle boys, and stealing one of Jane's boyfriends right out from under her twitching nose... <
> <
>Very pre-Lolita, a Forties style teenaged sex kitten, this is the first version of the Taylor minx and she seems highly sophisticated for a small-town high school girl, even if she is rich... <
> <
>"A Date with Judy" is a pleasant musical, antiseptic and cheery, suggesting Hollywood's conception of high school Life in the Forties... Like "Cynthia," the film is very class conscious, contrasting Taylor's cold, upper class household with Jane Powell's comfortable middle-class home... <
> <
>Typically, Liz is rich, spoiled, and reserved, but typically, too, when all is said and done, she's not bad-mannered or troublesome one; she's a good kid who just needs a little love and attention... <
> <
>Taylor's character finally allowed her to use the sexiness that everyone had sensed since she rode that horse in "National Velvet." <
> <
>

A gem
I'm not really a fan of musicals, but two seconds into this movie I was hooked. The story is cute, I think it's funny how Judy reads too much into everything (like her father's 'affair') and kind of sad how all Carol wants is the affection of her father. The songs are great, Carmen Miranda is stunning. A great family movie from yester-year!

Excellent Movie From Beginning to End
After you finish watching this movie you have a happy and warm feeling inside. It's wholesome entertainment at its best yet it's still apart from the rest and not at all typical.
