Listener Reviews & Comments
Listen, Darling is a sweet story about a family struggling to do the right thing for each other. Mary Astor plays the widowed mother of both Judy Garland and Scotty Beckett. Freddie Bartholomew plays Garland's best friend. The two scheme to find Astor a man she really loves to marry, instead of letting her follow through with her plan to marry a rich man who can provide for her children. Mary Astor is a very sympathetic mother; her part is small but well written. Judy Garland is quite young and appropriate for her jr. high aged role. She appears to be modest and vulnerable, a characterization appropriate to the character's age; she is a great beautiful and emotional actress. Freddie Bartholomew is appropriately awkward yet skittishly forceful. Scotty Beckett is the mischievously annoying but adorable younger brother. "Zing, Went the Strings of my Heart" is an understated song performed with the force that is apparent in all of Garland's singing. "Bumpy Road to Love" is a juvenile song with bad lip-synching. The "Ten Pins in the Sky" song is a sweet, melancholy song which proves Garland's ability as a singer, even in her youth. Overall, this is a fun film, but nothing too outstanding.
