The last of their four musical films together, Girl Crazy takes an established property and has Mickey and Judy playing honest-to-goodness characters rather than taking their established personas and building around that. Girl Crazy ends up being one of their strongest films for it. Of course, the Gershwin songbook certainly didn’t hurt. Based on the stage show of the same name, however fas... read more

View all Girl Crazy (1943) reviews

Description: This second film version of the George and Ira Gershwin's Broadway hit Girl Crazy stars reigning MGM musical prince and princess Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland. The 1932 version of Girl Crazy de-emphasized the main plot, building up the comic subplot involving a timorous temporary sheriff and a city slicker con man -- the better to accommodate that film's stars, Bert Wheeler and Robert Woolsey. The 1943 remake does without the comic relief, concentrating on Rooney, a teenaged playboy who is sent to a Western mining school by his father (Henry O'Neill), in the hopes that the Rooney will forsake his wastrel ways.

“The last of their four musical films together, Girl Crazy takes an established property and has Mickey and Judy playing honest-to-goodness characters rather than taking their established personas and building around that. Girl Crazy ends up being one of their strongest films for it. Of course, the Gershwin songbook certainly didn’t hurt. Based on the stage show of the same name, however fast and loose, Girl Crazy finds Rooney playing an idle rich boy on the decent side of naughty that gets packed away to school out west after one too many bad headlines by his wealthy father. Rooney’s monied character is basically a decent sort that has to learn that there’s more to life than immediate gratification, and Garland’s just the girl to teach him that lesson.
