A great performance by Judy.
She put out such great music and was miserable most of her life...She only had fleeting happy moments...How sad....
In 1:38 they do a memorable tune and dance.

Interesting cast, Phil Silvers as a general screwup, Ray Collins, Lt Tragg, as a silly pompous jackass.
There’s about 10 men there and one woman. That is considered sexist today.
I didn’t know it was a religious song
Garland is noticeably slimmer in Get Happy. This is because she was called back to shoot this number after the film had wrapped. The studio decided Summer Stock needed a better ending and brought Judy back after she had lost quite a bit of weight. The result was one of the most famous signature numbers of her storied career.
Perfect timing!
