The distance between the projector and the rear screen requires approximately ' of separation. Mere seconds later, she turns it upside down and drops it, but no candy falls out of it.

Best ketchup we ever made, Katie. Smith likes it all the sweet side.
Common Sense says
All men like it on the sweet side. This version features the entire soundtrack dubbed, including the songs, and several scenes deleted involving Margaret O'Brien deleted, dealing with Halloween, immediately after "The trolley song". TNT, in Latin America, after prologue dealing about how this film was restored presented it in its complete version but with the Spanish dubbed soundtrack lifted from that old version, which was not restored.
For that reason, after "The trolley song" and during several minutes the films plays in English after Judy Garland "sung" in Spanish and then the audio reverts back to the dubbed version. Although that dubbed version was available in Spain, some people believe that it was actually produced in Mexico. Frequently Asked Questions Q: What is 'Meet Me in St Louis' about?

The Halloween section with Tootie is so great and from a technical perspective has aged so well- it literally looks like something filmed in the 90s, not the 40s. The Christmas section which introduced the classic song "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" makes this also a very memorable holiday movie. Christmas Rating Only the last 30 minutes are set at Christmas, but the classic song, and the christmas spirit makes it a christmas movie through and through. This is such a bizarre movie.
Meet Me in St. Louis
The cutsie-wootsie tone is maybe my least favorite tone. Yeah the more I think about it the more this movie is my worst nightmare. This movie disappointed me. Some people like this movie a lot, so I expected it to be better and more enjoyable than I actually thought it was. It has some OK parts like the bit where she and her Grandpa dance , but I didn't find it that enjoyable overall. Not a lot of drama or conflict.
What conflict there is is so short-lived it feels ineffectual. I found the little girl annoying and not very appealing, so when Esther sings "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas," the only emotional weight is from my previous attachment to the song, not the scene itself. This is not a film that will become a Christmas tradition for me. But this thing is undeniably magical and every moment of it remains timeless.
It's dated in a charming, wholesome way. I loved the costumes. Every word that comes out of Tootie's mouth is gold. The movie starts out light and fluffy. There is absolutely no plot but frothy vignettes.
