Sid Luft & Judy Garland

What new can be said about Judy Garland that hasn’t already been said? In a word, plenty! Filmmaker Stephen Kijak had unprecedented access to family archival material, including audio tapes of both Judy and her third husband Sid Luft, as well as the manuscript of Luft’s recently published memoir, giving a much more personal view of her ups and downs (and uppers and downers) than you’ve seen before. Whether you have seen every film and tv appearance she ever did, or you only know Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz, this film is defi­nitely a MUST SEE.

Showtime Documentary Films is the distributor, so presumably this will be coming to premium cable in due course, but if it pops up near you, go see it! • IMDb • official: StephenKijak.com •
