C’mon, Get Happy: The Making of Summer Stock -David Fantle and Tom Johnson

(Review and poem by Betty Jo Tucker)


#CommissionsEarned


Summer Stock, a movie I love,
now a book on the making of.
Ring cowbells and shout hooray
What a great read to have today!

Questions answered? Oh, yes indeed.
Everything fans and readers need.
A book of details surprising
that make a reader want to sing.

Judy and Gene get lots of space.
They worked together at a pace
They loved each other and it shows.
Their friendship worked — as this fan knows.

Other helpers are detailed too.
Read this book and find out who.
All songs and dances get their due.
Favorite? “You Wonderful You”

Cast and everyone behind screen
All of them manage to be seen.
A barnyard musical like this
now history we should not miss.
