Judy's "Get Happy" number was shot specifically for SUMMER STOCK and her costume (a holdover from EASTER PARADE) was inspired by Marlene Dietrich @upmiss @GeneKellyFans @nopenother @mgm_great @TCMwithaTwist @Zsavooz @tcm @JudyGarlandClub @Lorna_Luft @DancerOnFilm #SummerStock

When it was determined that Judy needed "a show-stopper" at the end of SS, she personally picked the Arlen-Koehler song "Get Happy." @upmiss @ncastlez @GeneKellyFans @nopenother @DancerOnFilm @mgm_great @TCMwithaTwist @TheJudyRoom @JudyGarlandClub @Lorna_Luft #SummerStockBook

In order to inspire Judy when shooting "Get Happy," director Chuck Walters told her to "channel" Lena Horne. @upmiss @ncastlez @GeneKellyFans @nopenother @DancerOnFilm @mgm_great @TCMwithaTwist @TheJudyRoom @JudyGarlandClub @Lorna_Luft #SummerStockBook #GetHappy

SUMMER STOCK marked the second film comic actor Phil Silvers played Kelly's sidekick. Their first pairing was in the 1944 musical COVER GIRL. The novelty tune was written by Saul Chaplin. @ErnestBilko @GeneKellyFans @Zsavooz @DancerOnFilm @upmiss #SummerStockBook

A Kelly biographer wrote that he might have conceived the idea of including the howling dogs in “Heavenly Music” by recalling his childhood in Pittsburgh when his brother Fred hatched an idea to stage a dog show in their backyard. @upmiss @ErnestBilko @GeneKellyFans @Zsavooz

Judy and Gene kick-off the "show-within-a-movie" segment with the Saul Chaplin tune "All for You." Gene, for one of the very few times in his career, is decked out in top hat, white tie and tails! @tcm @Zsavooz @GeneKellyFans @upmiss @danceronfilm #SummerStock #SummerStockBook

Nick Castle Jr., son of the SUMMER STOCK choreographer, just 4 years old at the time, recalled his dad tearing paper for hours trying to figure it out how to make the number work. @upmiss @ncastlez @GeneKellyFans @nopenother @DancerOnFilm @mgm_great @TCMwithaTwist #SummerStock

To put himself into the mood—cinematically—for the number, Kelly said that he channeled Buster Keaton, and a hint of the great stone-faced comedian from the silent era can be seen when Joe circles the newspaper his body tensed and arms locked to his sides.@upmiss @GeneKellyFans
*Brianna* retweeted
The "Squeaky Board/Newspaper" number was Kelly's all-time favorite solo dance routine! Even his young daughter Kerry said she played a role in conceiving the number. It was also the last number shot for the film. @upmiss @DancerOnFilm @GeneKellyFans @mgm_great @nopenother ...

“Friendly Star,” says @MichaelFeinstei (Feinstein) was initially considered to be the film’s “money song,” a ballad filled with longing that Warren, Gordon & others felt sure would become a Garland standard, but it was not to be. @upmiss @TheJudyRoom @TheJudyRoom @JudyGarlandClub
*Brianna* retweeted
“You Wonderful You” came as an add-on late during production when it was determined that three new tunes were needed to complement the original Warren-Gordon score. @upmiss @TheJudyRoom @genekellyfans @DancerOnFilm @mgm_great @tcm @TheJudyRoom @JudyGarlandClub #SummerStock

Said Kelly about Garland in "The Portland Fancy": "She was terrific, picked up the steps so quickly. And it wasn't an easy dance to do. Really, I never worked with a trained dancer who was so quick to learn steps as Judy was." @upmiss @TheJudyRoom @genekellyfans @DancerOnFilm

"Mem'ry Island by Warren-Gordon is a happy spoof of Summer Stock heroes sung by Gloria DeHaven and Hans Conried (dubbed by Pete Roberts). @upmiss @tcm @tcmwithatwist @Zsavooz @genekellyfans @mgm_great @Musicalgems5 @DancerOnFilm @TheJudyRoom #SummerStockBook

Author Brian Seibert says Gene Kelly did his best tapping in SUMMER STOCK. "Dig-Dig-Dig Dig for Your Dinner" is a great example. Kelly was masterful dancing in a confined space. @upmiss @tcm @tcmwithatwist @Zsavooz @genekellyfans @mgm_great @Musicalgems5 @DancerOnFilm @nopenother
