Meet Me in St. Louis (1944)Margaret's entrance into fame. You'll like this if you're into old movies, but possibly not otherwise.
For fans of old movies this musical from 1944 should be pretty well known.
The light hearted story is based on life of an actual family of Smiths in
St. Louis, with a small plot around a love affair of Esther (22-year-old
Judy Garland) with a young man next door. While Judy did some acting when
younger, the relevant actresses are Joan as Rose, and especially Margaret
as her little sister "Tootie."
Margaret's acting is limited by the genre, and the style of the period, but
in my opinion she's one of the most interesting young actresses before
1970s. Margaret received an Academy Juvenile Award for the role, which Wikipedia cites
as her most memorable one. If you're into old movies, this is a must-see,
and for the average visitor of this site, a good choice if you're only
going to watch one movie from 1940s.
