I’ll Be Seeing You
I’ll Be Seeing You (1944) starring Joseph Cotten, Ginger Rogers, Shirley Temple
In short, I‘ll Be Seeing You is a wonderful film. It’s set towards the end of World War II. A veteran (played very well by Joseph Cotten) is suffering from what we would now call PTSD. He’s jumping at any sound, and thinks that he’s likely to be attacked at any moment. His doctors at the VA are letting him out from the psych ward ….

Song lyrics to The Trolley Song
The Trolley Song lyrics
The Trolley Song was written by Hugh Martin and Ralph Blane and made famous by Judy Garland in the 1944 film musical Meet Me in St. Louis. The song was inspired by a picture of a trolley car in a children’s picture book. The Trolley Song was nominated for the Best Song Oscar at the 1945 Academy awards, but lost to Swinging on a Star from Going My Way. The Trolley Song was ranked #26 by the American Film Institute in 2004 on the 100 Years … 100 Songs list. It has been recorded by Judy Garland, Frank Sinatra and many others. The song was a giant single for the Pied Pipers, at the time outselling Judy Garland’s single.
