Stayed up late and watched I Could Go Singing from 1963. This was broadcast on Turner Classic Movies on Thursday to celebrate Judy Garland's birthday and I set the Tivo to record it. This was the last film Judy Garland ever made.
Judy plays a popular singer on a European tour. While in London she visits a former lover and we learn she had a son with him that she gave up long ago. Her lover, played by Dirk Bogarde, against his better wishes agrees to let her meet him. Judy gets to spend time with the boy and learns what it means to have a family, something she has never experienced before.
As part of the film Judy sings a number of songs on stage at the Palladium. Her singing and dramatic performance are still excellent, even at the end of her career. At the Movie House rating *** stars
