reviews THE MICKEY ROONEY & JUDY GARLAND COLLECTION >> Street 9/25, Warner, Musical, $49.92 five-DVD set, NR + GALATIANS 6:2 Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ. fter Mickey Rooney went to Boys Town and Judy Garland went to Oz, they were paired in several musicals produced by MGM. The special collector’s edition of these musicals includes four classic films, along with a bonus disc including “Private Screenings with Mickey Rooney,” “The Judy Garland Songbook” and “The Mickey and Judy Trailer Gallery.” A The first film, Babes in Arms (1939), is the story of a teenage boy, Mickey Moran, who plans a fundraiser with fellow child performers to help his struggling family in vaudeville (see Philippians 2:3 for a related Bible passage). Babes on Broadway (1941) is a musical where Rooney and Garland produce a benefit show that will send orphaned children on a country holiday (see 1 Peter 5:6). Rooney plays Jimmy Connors in Strike Up the Band (1940). Jimmy is the leader of a high school band and is hoping to win a nationwide radio talent show (see Ecclesiastes 4:9-12). If you’re a Gershwin fan, you’ll go crazy over the best of these four movies, Girl Crazy (1943). Danny (Rooney) is a playboy and his father sends him off to an all boys’ school in the West. Danny pursues Ginger (Garland), the granddaughter of the dean, who has no interest in the self-centered young man (Galatians 6:2). Grandmas and grandpas will enjoy these musicals, though they will probably have to explain to their grandchildren that “gay” once meant happy. These musicals are classics, which means my 16-year-old son would probably not last five minutes. But I don’t think these musicals are being marketed to the Spider-Man crowd. These musicals are for collectors and fans of Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland. They will enjoy them immensely. – Dr. Roger D.
