About The Film: The talented Judy Garland is Lily in the 1943 MGM picture "Presenting Lily Mars". The catchy musical was a story about a small-town girl that hounds producer John Thornway for a part in his new play, but he doesn't want anything to do with stage-struck amateurs. But when Lily follows him to New York, he gets to know her better and his opinion of her changes for the better. Then, when the leading lady of the play walks out, Lily gets her big break on Broadway.
