Song 'n' Dance: Presenting Lily Mars

on BBC Two England

continues a season of musicals.
Today starring Judy Garland Van Heflin
In this lighthearted musical comedy, Judy plays a small-town girl who wants to be an actress. Lily, in fact, will do almost anything to get on the stage, and so in the great tradition of Hollywood in its heyday that's exactly what happens. Romance, songs, a witty script and scintillating performances make this rarely-seen movie a genuine pleasure.
TOMMY DORSEY and BOB CROSBY and their bands Screenplay by RICHARD CONNELL and GLADY LEHMAN based on the novel by BOOTH TARKINGTON
Produced by JOSEPH PASTERNAK Directed by NORMAN TAUROG
