Movie Previews
Little Nellie Kelly
by
Movie Previews presents a radio preview associated with Little Nellie Kelly, the 1940 musical comedy film starring Judy Garland. The film follows Nellie, an Irish-American young woman whose romance and family life bring together songs, comedy, and sentimental drama.
This recording offers a glimpse of the film through the promotional radio format suggested by the program title. Listeners can expect material introducing the movie rather than a full dramatic adaptation of its story.
With its focus on a Hollywood musical, the program offers a period snapshot of how films were presented to radio audiences, with the appeal of Garland’s screen performance and the film’s blend of light comedy and musical entertainment.
This recording is part of the Old Time Radio collection.
