“Meeting him across the lawn for the first time would be so ordinary. I don’t want to be just introduced to him. I want it to be something strange and romantic and something I’ll always remember.”
— Esther Smith (Judy Garland), Meet Me in St. Louis (1944), screenplay by Irving Brecher and Fred F. Finklehoffe, based on the book by Sally Benson
UPDATE: Received a comment from Flo who is a publicist for the just released book “The Wicked Wit of the West,” co-written by Hank Rosenfeld and one of the screenwriters of Meet Me in St. Louis Irv Brecher. You can check out the book here.
