That all time MGM movie musical classic ‘Meet Me in St Louis’ comes to American Region free Blu-ray with a beautifully restored 1080p AVC/MPEG-4 transfer, framed in its original 1.37:1 aspect ratio.

The transfer of three strip Technicolor gives us rosy skin tones, velvety backs, bright reds and fine detail. It's just lovely to look at.

The audio comes interestingly in a DTS-HD MA 5.0 mix which doesn’t ruin what was originally a mono mix, but it adds depth and range to the musical numbers.

Many of the bonus materials, including a great commentary, have come from the previous DVD release and it’s good to see them here.

The film tells the story of the Smith family who are told they need to move to New York, away from their beloved St Louis at the time of the 1904 World’s Fair. Great musical numbers and Judy Garland too with a superb supporting cast.

One for the collections of Movie Musical fans and admirers of Ms Garland.
