The Harvey Girls (1946), WarnerArchive, WarnerBros, TheHarveyGirls Vittles, songs and dance are amply ladled out when Judy Garland headlines The Harvey Girls, a joyous musical slice of Americana celebrating the restaurants that brought extra helpings of civilization to Old West rail passengers. Highlights include Garland holding saloon patrons at jittery gunpoint to retrieve stolen beefsteaks, Ray Bolger s looselimbed comic hoofing, Virginia O Brien s sureshot comic timing, Angela Lansbury s stylish wickedness as a saloon singer and the On the Atchison, Topeka and the Santa Fe romp (which nabbed the 1946 Best Song Academy Award) that s deservedly famous, one of the most triumphant sequences in screenmusical history (Pauline Kael, The New Yorker).
