Plot: This glorified Technicolor commercial for the Fred Harvey restaurants stars Judy Garland as a 19th-century mail-order bride. Upon arriving in New Mexico, Garland discovers that her husband-to-be is the town drunk. She cuts her losses and takes a job at the local Harvey restaurant, an establishment which endeavors to bring a little civilization and class to the wide open spaces. Harvey's operation is challenged by saloon-owner John Hodiak, corrupt-judge Preston S. Foster, and local-madam Angela Lansbury. With the help of tenderfoot Ray Bolger, Garland and her fellow waitresses foil the corrupt elements in town. Prominent in the supporting cast are Cyd Charisse, Marjorie Main, Chill Wills, Kenny Baker and Virginia O'Brien (whose musical numbers aren't quite as rambunctious as the contributions of the others, mainly because O'Brien was pregnant during filming). The songs are for the most part perfunctory, with the spectacular exception of the Harry Warren and Johnny Mercer's Oscar-winning Atchison, Topeka and the Santa Fe. The Harvey Girls is tenuously based on a more sober-sided historical volume by Samuel Hopkins Adams. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Most know Judy Garland as a singing sensation, but her comedic abilities are put on display to great effect in this film. The opening sequence where she sings on the train "as the evening sun goes down" is breathtaking. Granted the male lead isn't too great, the rest of the cast does well. My favorite line will always be:

"They call me Tex"
-"where are you from?"
"Massachusetts"

A great old movie from the golden years of movie making. 100's of people choreographed in dance scenes. Something not done anymore. They don't make movies like this anymore.

Movie I loved as a girl

You hear the saying,"they don't make movies like this anymore", well, they don't! I loved this movie as a young girl and watching it again reminded me why. Firstly, the actors...of course Judy Garland but,come on, Angela Lansbury as a young woman...what a beauty! Great songs, beautiful costumes and a good,clean story. My teenage kids caught some of it as I was watching and poked relentess fun at it, BUT they sure stayed in the room until it was over!!
If you love old movies and haven't seen this, it's a must to add to your list. You can't go wrong with the "Harvey Girls".
