Lily Mars (Judy Garland) is a small-town girl who dreams of the entertainment spotlight. She is desperate to audition for acquaintance John Thornway (Van Heflin) who happens to be a Broadway producer. He rejects her, but she is relentless.
Judy is in her early 20's and still very much the sweet girl next door. She does get a glam up during the film and she is becoming an adult. She's one of those child star who was able to fully transition into an adult on screen. It's an important stop on the path to Hollywood icon. As for the movie, it's fun. It's light. It's good escapism during tough times.
