...able to drop babies in the field like peas from a pod, and return to the plow before the sun is high in the sky. Right now, being young, basically healthy, and female, I recognize the almost overwhelming potential of my body for conception.

This movie lies at the zenith of her arc, anyway, and she's a wonder, starched and rosy-cheeked and singing Trolley Song with an energy that makes her creditable daughter Liza Minelli look like a radiator. The 1944 color in this Vincente Minelli (the same) period piece is gaudy, sumptuous and eerie-looking relative to the hushed or sheeny tones we're used...
