I don’t know if Garland fans still go around chanting ‘Judy Judy Judy’ at her every appearance, but they do have a timeless song ‘n’ dance number to celebrate here. Her last MGM movie is only a so-so vehicle but Gene Kelly and the studio’s top music & dance talent work hard to put it over the top. Garland’s lack of stability is still an issue. For much of the movie she looks visibly overweight, yet in the showstopper ‘Get Happy’ she suddenly slims down to the best — maybe not the healthiest — look of her career.

Two years later, director Brian De Palma directed the film adaptation, which went on to earn two Academy Award nominations. Since then, King's expansive body of work has been adapted into more than 100 films and TV series. While many of them -- The Shawshank Redemption, Stand By Me and Misery, to name a few -- have been commercially successful and critically beloved, there have also have been a number of critically-derided adaptations that didn't exact capture the spirit of the source material.
And though King’s work has been continuously adapted over the past 40 years, Hulu seemingly kicked off a resurgence of interest with 2016’s 11.22.63 starring James Franco and Chris Cooper. This year, Spike TV followed with The Mist and At&T’s Audience network is taking on Mr. Mercedes with David E. Kelley writing...
