Movie Description
Farm folk interact with city slickers who come to their sleepy community to rehearse a play. As a bonus, this tape contains Garland's first effort for MGM, the minimusical "Every Sunday" - directed by Felix E. Feist.
Synopsis
A farm girl brings a band of aspiring actors back to the homestead, where they proceed to use the barn as a "theater" for their new musical. This intrusion displeases the farm girl's older sister -- who owns the land -- but when the eager thespians agree to help her harvest the year's crop, the female farmer acquiesces. Later, the younger sister decides to depart for New York, leaving the lead role available. And just one person knows how to fill her shoes...
