    Lyrics:
    There's a star for everyone
    Brightly shining in the sky
    It seems to be a part of our destiny.
    Every night I eagerly
    Watch them all go twinkling by
    I can't seem to find
    The one the heavens assigned to me.
    Friendly star,
    Where can you be hiding?
    Smile for me from out of the lonely night.
    Friendly star,
    My fate need deciding
    How I need the glow of your guiding light
    I know that you are near
    For I am strangely dreaming
    And so if you can see me from afar
    Won't you kindly light my way,
    Lead me to my lover
    Just point him out and whisper
    There you are,
    There you are.
    Then my love you will be
    Standing here close to me
    In your eyes I will see my friendly star.

    I love this song and wonder why she never sang it in concert. She sang an equally moving song at the beginning of "The Harvey Girls" which to the best of my knowledge she never performed again. Well we have this and that is enough. I love this woman and believe she was the most talented female performer of her generation. This was a difficult film for her to make. A six week shoot turned into six months. It is not a great movie but after "The Wizard of Oz " and "A Star is Born' it is my favorite Garland film. Gene Kelly who was not always the nicest man in Hollywood (Arthur Laurents accused him of being a homophobe) was unbelievably patient with Judy, never once losing his temper or demeaning her in any way. Yes she had her troubles but she gave us so much joy in spite of them. I love you Frances Ethel; you have certainly enriched my life-thanks for the memories

      daniel white What a touching comment! From what I've read in some source (which may have sensationalised things somewhat), she didn't quite get on with Harvey Girls and Summer Stock composer Harry Warren; he made a few impertinent remarks about Judy's work ethic and behaviour on set that have led biographers and film critics to believe she may not have wanted to sing his songs very often as a way of rebuffing him after his hurtful comments. This may all be just Hollywood gossip but who knows! I also think In The Valley (Where the Evening Sun Goes Down) is a gorgeous song, and Friendly Star is also sublime and has such an interesting melody and tonal progression. Judy always touched the songs she sang with such magic. Apparently they played Judy's version of In The Valley at Warren's funeral, so perhaps the rift wasn't that large. This is such a mixed bag of a film with some glorious moments, and this scene to me is Judy's MGM swan song, where we really get to see what she was made of... thankfully we still have A Star is Born!

    • @garyb3397
      @garyb3397 6 років тому +1

    Gene Kelly absolutely handsome and dashing as can be at 2:40. What could he have possibly been thinking while Judy was singing this song ? The epitome of longing for a love that he believes is not his? His lack of expression save for the look of losing someone, the frown that does not turn into the twinkling boyish man he is known for, has such depth. I feel he knows what she is singing about all and it's all too familiar to him.

    Gene Kelly never looked better, nor seemed more real, than in this number. That sappy, grinning MGM sailor persona was simply not him. Too bad he did not get to do Pal Joey at Columbia with Rita Hayworth, and, perhaps, Ann Sothern, as his patroness Vera. that would have been good, But MGM would not loan him to Columbia again, after his success in Cover Girl with Rita.
