    Irish colleen Nellie is in love with handsome Jerry Kelly, even though her father objects. Nellie and Jerry soon marry and announce plans to move to New York, which again angers Nellie's father. Still, fear of never seeing his daughter again convinces the old man to also head to the States. In New York, Jerry becomes a policeman, although fighting crime seems to be easier than fighting with his father-in-law. Tragedy strikes when Nellie dies in childbirth. Jerry and the meddling old man continue to live together and have constant battles over how to raise young Nellie, who grows up to look exactly like her mother.

    George M. Cohan, the song-and-dance man whose hits single-handedlyAmericanized the musical comedy, had been holding out on Hollywood. Although he had sold his dramas and comedies to the screen during the '30s,he hadn't licensed one of his musicals for screen adaptation since 1929,when Warner Bros. filmed his Little Johnny Jones. That changedwhen he had lunch with MGM's top musical producer, Arthur Freed. Theformer songwriter had just set up his legendary musical production unit atMGM. Searching for properties, and particularly vehicles for his protegee,Judy Garland, Freed impulsively offered to buy the screen rights to the1922 Cohan hit Little Nellie Kelly, and Cohan just as impulsivelyaccepted. The result hit the screens in 1940, becoming one of Freed'sfirst big hits.

    Thinking ahead, Freed was looking for the right vehicle to move Garlandinto adult parts. In Little Nellie Kelly, she would play a dualrole, an Irishwoman who travels to the U.S. with her feuding husband andfather only to die in childbirth, and the daughter raised by the two meneven though they're not speaking to each other. Garland had just scored atriumph and a special Oscar® for The Wizard of Oz (1939), but nobody atthe studio could deny that she was growing up quickly. Nobody exceptstudio head Louis B. Mayer, that is. When he heard of Freed's plans tostar her in the film, he protested, "We simply can't have that baby have achild." Of course, that child was already 18, was firmly entrenched in theprescription-drug regimen that would ultimately destroy her career, wassmoking four packs a day to keep her weight down and was running around insecret with a series of older men. In fact, during the filming ofLittle Nellie Kelly, she started dating the man who would become herfirst husband, composer David Rose, even though he was still married toMartha Raye at the time.

    But Hollywood is a city of illusions, and nobody created the illusion ofyouthful joy and innocence better than Garland. She dazzled audiences withupbeat performances of musical mentor Roger Eden's "It's a Great Day forthe Irish" and a swing version of the MGM standard, "Singin' in the Rain."Ironically, only one Cohan song remained from the original score, "NellieKelly, I Love You," and Garland didn't even sing it. It was performed byDouglas McPhail as the man the younger Nellie falls for. Another Cohansong, "You Remind Me of My Mother," was cut from the film, as was Garland'srendition of "Danny Boy."

    Little Nellie Kelly was important for more than its score, however.This was the film in which Garland not only grew up on screen – bearing achild, playing a death scene and receiving her first adult kiss (fromMcPhail) – but it was also the first film to showcase her impressivedramatic abilities. When she completed her death scene, costar GeorgeMurphy reports that there was no crew left on the set. All the hardenedmovie veterans had snuck off so their sobs wouldn't ruin the take. Sadly,MGM would do little to build on her dramatic impact in the film, confiningher to musicals for all but one feature (The Clock, 1945) during her timethere.

    Although the film received mixed reviews, Garland was the critics' darling,earning raves for her singing and acting. In addition, LittleNellie Kelly turned a tidy profit, earning over $2 million on aninvestment of just over $650,000. Co-star Murphy – who played first herhusband, then her father – would hail it as his favorite film, largelybecause of his work with Garland. Decades later, her performance of"Singin' in the Rain" would resurface in the studio's tribute to itsmusical past, That's Entertainment! (1974). The film even got a backhandedcompliment from Cohan himself. Shortly before its release, he ran intoFreed again and asked, "I hope you didn't keep any of that terrible play?"Freed responded, "No, I just kept the title and little Nellie Kelly being apoliceman's daughter." In Cohan's opinion, that would guarantee thepicture's success.

    Judy Garland, playing her first mature part in Little Nellie Kelly, will be seen in her first love scene on the screen … as an Irish immigrant kid who marries Jerry Kelly (George Murphy). Going the whole hog in this love business, Judy later enacts the role of her own daughter grown to womanhood, with Murphy now playing the role of her father … Judy, in this later sequence, is romatically interested in Dennis Fogarty (Douglas McPhail), who came into prominence with Judy and Mickey Rooney in Babes in Arms. A romantic comedy, the film swings from the colorful background of an old Irish village to the modern New York, with such famous musical numbers as "The Wearin' o' the Green," "Danny Boy" and "You Remind Me of My Mother" interspersed in the fast, sometimes funny, and sometimes heart-touching action.

    Highlights of the film include a reproduction of the famous New York Police School, authoritatively and accurately done, in which the step-by-step training of George Murphy takes place. Real highlight of the picture, however, will be the first screen appearance of a youngster the movie-going public has watched grow from a child to a full-fledged, grown-up portrayal. And Judy handles it with capable ease.

    As rollicking and melodious a piece of mass entertainment as has been offered in many a moon. It's a hit show because it has little Judy Garland.
