Spend a December evening with Judy Garland! This episode from her CBS-TV show, recorded December 6, 1963, and aired on the 22nd, captures the great entertainer and her kids, Liza Minnelli and Lorna and Joe Luft, in a one-hour songfest taking place in the family living room.
Garland is mostly a spectator, encouraging the 17-year-old Liza and the younger kids, Lorna and Joe. But she does sing two of her most memorable film songs--"Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" and "Over the Rainbow"--plus "Little Drops of Rain" (from Gay Purr-ee.)
