The last note is so funny to me. it's the first time I saw her break the 4th wall and look tired after a long note. That little huff at the end gets me every time.
@Kenneth Sloan I'll go way out on a limb and guess that Brayden meant that both Judy's characters were similar: an uncomplicated, good-natured farm girl.
Great number. I’m guessing the tractor was hitched to the back of a truck and being towed with the camera mounted on the truck. When she pulls in to fill the tractor with water, they unhitched it and she coasted in. The timing was perfect. The smoke coming out of the tank was probably dry ice. You can see the shadow of the truck and crew pass over the tractor @ 0:55. A lot of coordination had to have gone into it to get it just right, travel at just the right speed so she passes the people right when she sings “Howdy neighbor.” (You may be able to tell I like the production side of things lol.)
We all agree Judy Garland had the greatest voice but I just realized after all these years that her eyes are just full of expression and they match the emotion of her singing. She was the complete entertainer, the greatest. And the movie Summer Stock is adorable, funny, comforting, and most of all entertaining. notwithstanding that musical number with Phil Silvers and Gene Kelly and the dogs.
I think this is one of her least appreciated performances. Her voice is exceptionally strong, and she looks great. I read during the filming, she hated being on that tractor, but you'd never know it!
@@mike48877 Possibly, but the dearth of movie appearances after 1950 tells the sad story. At least tape and disc fill in the picture of the last 20 years, though like the sundial they only tell the shining hours.
Come on along and take a ride, And look at life from the cheery side... Howdy, neighbor! (Howdy, neighbor!) Happy harvest May your 40 acres soon be fields of clover Yes indeed and plant a wish with every seed and by and by The sun and rain will make an etching Of a million little green fingers stretching to the sky! Howdy, neighbor! (Howdy, neighbor!) Happy harvest! Get your rocking chairs for all your cares are over Clap your hands and lick your chops Your bumber crops are on the climb Hey we're gonna roll in plenty Spend a five or ten or twenty And those happy harvest bells are gonna chime! Remember neighbor When you work for Mother Nature, You get paid by Father Time! Chicks are gonna cackle And every burlap sack'll be full of 'taters and tobaccos And dozens of different good and healthy greens And if the weather man won't upset us Mister you can bet us They'll be lots of crispy lettuce in your jeans! If you're into living, find out just what living means! Howdy neighbor? Happy harvest! May your forty acres soon be fields of clover Go on puff your corn cob pipes And no more gripes and no more groans No mortgages or loans And you won't see a trace of worrying On the face of Farmer Jones Howdy neighbor? Happy harvest! Get your rocking chairs for all your cares are over Clap your hands and lick your chops Your bumper crops are on the climb Hey we're gonna roll in plenty Spend a five or ten or twenty And those happy harvest bells are gonna chime! Remember neighbor When you work for Mother Nature You get paid by Father Time
My favorite number in this movie (aside from "Get Happy") when I first saw it. It figured prominently in the opening credits, closed the picture, and was nice and bouncy. Over time, it has taken second or third place, but still enjoyable. What were they doing here with the changing backgrounds, including the same one used about a third of the way in, and repeated at almost the very end. Ms. Garland, speaking of the end, could hold a note!
The changing backgrounds were probably the logistics of the takes they could use for the shoot and before we could replay and replay, they probably assumed that the audience would focus on Judy and not notice.
Ms. Garland can sell even this fluffy nothing of a song , and her last note proves she can make any number good if she’s behind it . “You get paid by Father Time !”
Amazing through her soul she gave God given soul to the world. She could turn any song into God. My parents generation so much class and naturalness. She did vaudeville, radio, television, film, danced.
The hills in the background are still there behind Culver City, CA. MGM had a large backlot there before the studio shut down, and was sold in the 1970s. There are radio broadcast towers now, but the hillsides remain largely the same. The whole terrain doesn't match farming country in the Midwest, which is presumably the place where this film took place.

I don't think so. I see what you mean, but I looked carefully because this would be terribly sloppy and a big error. The man in 1:39 in the blue overalls that I think you're talking about is in the previous scene but obscured by Judy Garland at one point before the scene cuts from the side view to the front view of the group. But after 2:54 the background changes with the c/u and after she has her radiator filled and she leaves the group of people, the background changes once again before the final c/u. I worked as a video editor if that makes a difference.
@hudsony777 I was referring to the man on the bicycle, not the man in the overalls. If you look, the man on the bicycle is wearing two completely different outfits at 1:22, and then compare with 1:39 (left side of screen).
Objectively a nothing song, a typical scene-setter with no life outside its context. But there is a morbid fascination in seeing poor Judy trying to sell it: literally being hauled through the landscape, up to her eyes in pills, proclaiming the health-giving qualities of the great outdoors and Mother Nature when in reality she was one of the most indoors persons ever and on the verge of cracking up. She got through 'Summer Stock', which had been tailored not to tax her too much after the tribulations of 'The Pirate'. But she still had the overbearing Gene Kelly to push her around, and she was close to the end of MGM's tether.
@@taliyatofilau6029 Only fair to add that Kelly seems to have treated Judy more tenderly than other leading ladies. 'Summer Stock' was a relatively relaxed interlude for him between 'The Pirate' and 'An American in Paris'. Nick Castle partly choreographed him and Chuck Walters, an easygoing type, directed. Between them they nursed Judy through it.
She was a complete entertainer-great actress, singer and dancer.
A great talent.
The last note is so funny to me. it's the first time I saw her break the 4th wall and look tired after a long note. That little huff at the end gets me every time.
Omg...that voice has so much music in it, it's like a whole orchestra in itself
Dorothy Gale, years later and still in Kansas. Her voice just as beautiful as ever.
@Kenneth Sloan I'll go way out on a limb and guess that Brayden meant that both Judy's characters were similar: an uncomplicated, good-natured farm girl.
A Krenwinkle exactly
Aww what a cute idea
My Gawd, I Love Her!
Such an odd song and she turns it into a showstopper.❤
Judy - what a set of pipes she had

Judy being nothing less than brilliant and legendary!!!
I love this Movie! I brake out singing this song a lot. I love Judy so much. She brings me joy. ❤️
Still love this movie ❤️
Cool video, nice to see her filming outside and not on a soundstage.
I’m sorry but “cackle” and “burlap sack’ll” is such a great rhyme
Fantastic film. Always a joy to watch!
The greatest singer! ❤️ 🌈

Judy is so darn cute in this movie! Think I need me some dungarees...
This is such a catchy song omg
Such a joyous voice, no calculation...
So jolly and clever, and perfect singing as always.
I Love Judy Garland!!;!
I think this is one of her least appreciated performances.
Her voice is exceptionally strong, and she looks great.

I always loved this movie.
By the time she did 'Summer Stock' she hated working, period.
She was also scared of horses.
@@esmeephillips5888 At least for MGM.
@@esmeephillips5888 Point is, no matter how bad she was feeling, how many demons she had, she never let it show on the screen.
@@mike48877 Possibly, but the dearth of movie appearances after 1950 tells the sad story. At least tape and disc fill in the picture of the last 20 years, though like the sundial they only tell the shining hours.

I love her & this song
BRAVO!!!!!!!!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Come on along and take a ride,
And look at life from the cheery side...
Howdy, neighbor!
(Howdy, neighbor!)
Happy harvest
May your 40 acres soon be fields of clover
Yes indeed and plant a wish with every seed and by and by
The sun and rain will make an etching
Of a million little green fingers stretching to the sky!
Howdy, neighbor!
(Howdy, neighbor!)
Happy harvest!
Get your rocking chairs for all your cares are over
Clap your hands and lick your chops
Your bumber crops are on the climb
Hey we're gonna roll in plenty
Spend a five or ten or twenty
And those happy harvest bells are gonna chime!
Remember neighbor
When you work for Mother Nature,
You get paid by Father Time!
Chicks are gonna cackle
And every burlap sack'll be full of 'taters and tobaccos
And dozens of different good and healthy greens
And if the weather man won't upset us
Mister you can bet us
They'll be lots of crispy lettuce in your jeans!
If you're into living, find out just what living means!
Howdy neighbor? Happy harvest!
May your forty acres soon be fields of clover
Go on puff your corn cob pipes
And no more gripes and no more groans
No mortgages or loans
And you won't see a trace of worrying
On the face of Farmer Jones
Howdy neighbor? Happy harvest!
Get your rocking chairs for all your cares are over
Clap your hands and lick your chops
Your bumper crops are on the climb

Can't this is 1950's the quality was so good.

Fluffy nothing of a song? I thought this was a really cool fun song! Sure it's kinda cheesy but so what?
@@BeeKee404 The song's gouda 'nuff for me.
Agreed, none of the songs in this movie are stand outs at all but Gene and Judy’s performances are what elevate the film to much greater heights.
@@mysteriousmrocd8384 "Get Happy" is a stand-out, and became part of her act right to the very end.

Good job.
@@Wolfgoddess56 well the “lettuce in your jeans” could be referring to money (a bundle of lettuce is another way to say a lot of money)

The one individual that disliked this video should get the electric chair
The guy on the bike who appears at 1:22 is wearing a totally different outfit at 1:39.

The front tires of the tractor look weird. They have a raised ridge in the middle with no tread.
40 acres and a mule!
And the seven days of fish
That song tired her out
That and she was probably still on pills
