Things they should've done in this film

Here are the things great in Judy's life that they should've had in this film or should've done:

At least one scene of Judy rehearsing "Over the rainbow" in the "Wizard of Oz" production. (I am glad they showed us a "Yellow brick road" scene, but they needed an "Over the rainbow" one too)

One scene of Judy rehearsing "Dear Mr. Gable" sitting at her dresser with Gable scrapbook. (Not her singing it standing in a classroom. Judy might've done it that way too but it's not the way most of us remember her doing it)

Showing Judy and Mickey practicing "La Conga"
during "Strike up the band" rehearsals. (Not showing them in a top hat and cane act that wasn't even in the film. I've seen "Strike up the band" like 10 times, I own almost every Judy Garland film)

Showing at least one scene of Judy with Gene Kelly rehearsing a "Me and my gal" scene. A number of of scenes from that film would've been good.

Not switching to Judy Davis for "Meet me in St. Louis" "Trolley song" number. Or any of the scenes before 1950 when Judy left MGM.

Showing at least one short scene: with her first marriage to David Rose, her fling with Orson Wells, and her abortion.

Showing Judy rehearsing at least a couple more of her films with the actors/actresses she starred with in them. Any of these would've been good: Thoroughbreds don't cry, Everybody sing and Fanny Brice/Billie Burke/Allen Jones, Babes on Broadway, Ziegfeld girl and Lana Turner/Hedy Lamarr/James Stewart, Little Nellie Kelly and George Murphy/Charles Winnrger, Harvey girls and Virginia O'Brien/Angela Langsberry, Easter parade and Fred Astaire, In the good ol summertime and Van Johnson, Summer stock and Gene Kelly/Gloria Dehaven.(I'm glad they showed us a few films such as Babes in arms/Good morning, Girl crazy/where she was run down by Busby then passed out, Meet me in St. Louis but should've kept Blanchard, Wizard of Oz, and A star is born)(Also glad they showed us Judy's auditioning for MGM in 1936 with Zing, went the strings of my heart)

Showing Judy at MGM's 25th anniversary dinner in 1949 (this might've been difficult cause there were more stars than there were in the heavens there)

Showing a scene at MGM in the 1930s where they gave young Judy and the others sleeping pills at the studio hospital then woke em up 4 hours later and gave pep pills again.(They did show plenty of 1940-1969 scenes with adult Judy and the drugs)

Showing one or two scenes of Judy on "The Judy Garland show", particularly the one where Barbara Striesand was a guest.


(Overall, it seems they left out more good stuff in Judy's pre 1950 years than post 1950. The film actually covered a lot of ground and detail in Judy's life between 1950-1969. I just wish they showed us more stuff, all the stuff I've listed above before 1950)
