DESCRIPTION:
This video contains a reconstructed (or cobbled) and reimagined slice of life scene from Judy Garland's final movie, a documentary called A Day In The Life Of Judy Garland. The intent of the film was to show how Judy prepared for a concert, and the plan was to film her daily activities while on tour. The off stage segments were shot in black and white, and the actual concert was filmed in color. Well into production Judy found the filmmakers in breach of contract and had the project halted. Rumor has it that, unbeknownst to her, Judy was filmed nude, and I speculate that she evoked the non-nudity clause in her contract as breached and used that to cease production of the film. However, a highly edited version of the documentary did appear on Danish television shortly following Judy's death under the title The Last Concert. What aired on television was a badly constructed and incoherent miss mash of scenes randomly spliced together with concert footage from one appearance synced to the sound of another. The master of the television version still exists, but the footage of the full documentary has not been seen (or heard of) in over forty years. Also seen are Judy's husband, Mickey Deans, singer Johnnie Ray, Ray's manager, and acting as Judy's assistant on the tour was Bridget Johanssen, wife of Ingemar, former Heavyweight Champion Of The World. Filmed on March 23, 1969.
