By the time Judy Garland filmed her final motion picture "I Could Go On Singing", Judy knew how to act and pull out all the stops better than anyone and was in superb voice giving the most powerful film vocal performances ever in this sadly overlooked entertaining motion picture that has for years been one of my favorites!!! Garland looked sophiscated and every inch the Superstar (do a blow-up of the stunning cover and you will see what I mean!!!) and had a really great supporting cast who were all perfectly cast including an engaging performance by Jack Klugman as her fiesty manager. Musical numbers filmed before a live audience added much excitement to Judy's magnificent performances and the electricity of Garland's preparation moments before her entrance before the audience are soulfully charged and incredible to experience!! Garland was THE most magnetic and soulful performer around and this engrossing performance should have been at the least nominated for an Academy Award just as Miss Garland should have won the Best Actress Oscar for her classic performance in "A Star Is Born" but that is a totally different story that is one of THE legendary "Oscar Blew-It Stories" of all time with Groucho Marx exclaiming that it was the biggest robbery since Brinks...I was in High School when this wonderful musical drama came out and played the Chinese Theatre on Hollywood Blvd. and audiences wildly applauded after each of these extraordinary musical numbers and this only happens in a few musical films that feature Judy, Barbra, and Liza Minnelli!! The stormy passionate power of Garland's incredible performance of the riviting "(I'll Go My Way)By Myself" is a stunning vocal masterpiece as is the magnificent "Hello Bluebird" making these great songs all time top musical performances ever in motion picture history...the quite and haunting "It Never Was You" with just Judy and piano in a masterful live take with Garland at her sublime best and again riveting and making an athem out of the great title song "I Could Go On Singing" and you just wish she would have gone on and on and on and would have with more support from the entertainment industry and the media!!! Dramatic scenes are intense and try not to be incredibly moved when you watch the brilliant interplay between Judy and Dirk during the amazing legendary hospital scene!! Throughout Judy is at a dramatic peak along with smooth comic touches playing out each scene with her "Son" and his "Dad" with remarkable depth and sensitivity. Thankfully this movie has been preserved first with its VHS release and now on DVD for anyone wanting to enjoy the greatest entertainer of the century giving one of the most soulfully charged performances of her incredible lifetime!! Bravo Judy and I am happy that this great performer and classic LEGEND happened in my lifetime and we miss you alot Judy...
