Meet Me In St. Louis

In turn-of-the-century St. Louis, the close-knit Smith family are swept up in the excitement over the impending arrival of the 1904 World's Fair. The Smiths are a happy well-to-do family whose two oldest daughters are preoccupied with the usual dramas of young love. Seventeen-year-old Esther Smith falls in love with boy-next-door John Truett and tries to get him to notice her. Meanwhile, twenty-year-old Rose is preoccupied with getting her long-distance beau to propose before she is deemed an old maid. Their young sister Tootie is an incorrigible tomboy with a morbid streak who constantly stirs up trouble. When their father announces that he is moving the family to New York, the Smiths must decide if they are willing to give up the bucolic charm of small-town life in St. Louis in exchange for the glamour of the big city.
