"Summer Stock" 75th Anniversary w/ David Fantle

We’re marking the 75th anniversary of the classic MGM musical Summer Stock with a special in-studio guest—Hollywood historian and author David Fantle. Ahead of the July 16th anniversary screening at Milwaukee’s Oriental Theatre (shown in glorious 35mm!), David takes us on a journey through the film’s legacy, its significance in Judy Garland’s career, and how it bridged the world of Broadway and small-town theater.
David shares behind-the-scenes stories and context that help explain why this film is both a classic and, at times, underappreciated. He also previews his post-screening Q&A at the Oriental Theatre—don’t miss this unique chance to revisit a golden-era gem on the big screen.
