It's Christmas 1968 and with a six week booking at London's Talk of the Town, it looks like Judy Garland is set firmly on the comeback trail
The failed marriages, the suicide attempts and the addictions are all behind her. At forty-six and with new husband Mickey Deans at her side, she seems determined to carry it off and recapture her magic
But her addictions return and her gay accompanist and her new husband each compete to win her love and guide her through the daily haze of pills and alcohol
This hotel action is punctuated by snatches from several of her public performances
A tragic and funny drama featuring several of Judy Garland hits, infused with the glamour and the melancholy of stardom
"Every note she sings, every racket she makes, every tear she sheds, every joke she cracks, every pill she pops - is conveyed with alarming honesty. This knockout portrait of a living catastrophe should not be missed" ~ What's On
