Meet Me in St. Louis/Trivia


 * Breakaway Pop Hit: How many people actually know that "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" was written for this film?
 * Dawson Casting: Judy Garland was 21 playing a 17-year-old (she almost didn't do the film because of that).
 * Stillborn Franchise: There was supposed to be a sequel called Meet Me in Manhattan, but it never got past the planning stages. In 1966, there were plans for a Meet Me in St. Louis Sitcom. It got as far as a Pilot, which starred Shelley Fabares as Esther and traded the songs for a Laugh Track. No network picked it up, but it's included as an extra on the film's DVD release.
