Summer Holiday

Two artists who know all about translating America into Americana Arthur Freed, who produced Meet Me in St. Louis, and Rouben Mamoulian, who directed the original Broadway production of Oklahoma! work some turn-of-the-century magic again with Summer Holiday. This Technicolor-glorious version of Eugene ONeills beloved coming-of-age play Ah, Wilderness! boasts Harry Warren/Ralph Blane tunes as spirited as the 4th of July. The splendid cast is headed by Mickey Rooney (who played the youngest brother in 1935s Ah, Wilderness!) as a lad from a warm, eccentric family who graduates from high school and into Life, complete with grand ideas, chorus girls and his first beer. The Stanley Steamer is waiting. Hop in!
