Life with Judy Garland - Me & My Shadows

As far as bio-pics go, this one is not bad. It is clearly a 'made for TV special' but it is still fairly interesting. The film is based on the autobiography of Judy Garland's daughter, Lorna Luft. It therefore provides an interesting, albeit fairly sympathetic, portrayal of her mother's life. Judy Davis is a dead ringer for Garland (excuse the pun!) and while the singing is clearly dubbed throughout the film with Garland's own voice, that does not detract from Davis' performance.

Hey! If you are interested in Lorna Luft at all, there's a pretty nice interview with her at http://www.hrc.org/theagenda/blog/.
