Vincente Minnelli took a break from musicals to feature Judy Garland in the first movie to show her dramatic acting range, a charming and thoughtful wartime tale in New York: a whirlwind romance goes from nothing to marriage in 48 hours. She’s a working woman and he’s a soldier shipping out for combat; the miracle is that the whole thing is believable, and resolutely unglamorized. The illusion of ‘ordinary life’ in NYC is remarkable for 1945; star Robert Walker leaves behind the gangling bumpkin character he’d been playing. The Warner Archive’s Blu-ray is a welcome addition to the Minnelli disc library.

“Joe, Joe, Joe, darling, Joe. I thought I’d lost you. I didn’t know where to look.”
Judy Garland and Robert Walker in The Clock (1945) will be available on Blu-ray June 7th from Warner Archive
Judy Garland stars with Robert Walker as a New Yorker and a GI on a 48-hour leave who meet in New York’s Pennsylvania Station—under The Clock. Over two whirlwind days, the impossible happens: Two strangers meet and fall in love with each other, with the City–and its iconoclastic, eccentric inhabitants in this romance directed by Vincente Minnelli.
After ten years of musical appearances on film, M-g-m finally let Judy Garland exhibit her extraordinary acting talents without the need for song, and the results are unforgettable.Despite this romantic classic being very decidedly not a musical, the film is well-regarded for its haunting original score by composer George Bassman.

Before he became the flag bearer for cinema violence, Sam Peckinpah made his reputation with this unique western, a marvelous rumination on ethics, morality and personal responsibility. MGM all but threw it away in the summer of 1962 but it immediately became a critical favorite.
