![Life With Judy Garland - Me And My Shadows [2001]](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41S9YPVTQZL._SL160_.jpg)
Davis handles the neurotic swoops with authority; when Garland sighs on her birthday, "I'm 47 today--with my life, that makes me 412", you believe her. One thing she can't capture is Garland's onscreen incandescence: Davis's lip-syncing of "The Trolley Song" is expert but joyless. The luminous young Blanchard (who won the supporting actress trophy) has a physical and vocal resemblance to the former Frances Gumm that's often breathtaking, and the Wizard of Oz sequences look like outtakes from the real thing. Too much TV-flick telescoping dooms the movie to sketchiness, but the two main performances are over the rainbow. --Robert Horton, Amazon.com

Editorial
Amazon.co.uk Review
Life with Judy Garland: Me and My Shadows is a TV movie raised above the usual weepy-biopic standard by the Emmy Award-winning performances of Judy Davis and Tammy Blanchard, unusually essaying the same role. Since the project is based on a memoir by Lorna Luft, Judy Garland's "other" daughter, the emphasis is on Garland's rocky post-MGM years, spotlighting marriages, pills and spectacular stage comebacks.
