Anecdotes
In the original film, John Truett sang only in the "Skip to My Lou" number. Two new songs were interpolated into the television version to give Tab Hunter more opportunities to sing: "If You Were the Only Girl in the World" was a standard from the era in which the story takes place. "When Does This Feeling Go Away?" was composed by Hugh Martin for the ill-fated Broadway show "Make a Wish."

Family entertainment at it's best

Live TV is the most difficult medium for an actor.

In film, if you make a mistake, there's always another take. In theater, if you make a mistake, maybe 500 people see it and there always the next show. On live TV, viewers millions of viewers immediately see any mistake and once it's out there you can't take it back.

The actors in the 1959 version of Meet Me In St Louis had 4 weeks to prepare before going on live TV. The product they turned out was more than satisfactory for family entertainment on a Sunday night. Jane Powell had a strong voice and was excellent in the lead role. With an all star supporting cast including Tab Hunter, Myrna Loy and Walter Pidgeon it must have been a ratings bonanza.

I would recommend this film to any family seeking wholesome entertainment.
