FACT: after the turning down the lights scene in Meet Me In St. Louis, director Vincente Minnelli had become not only taken by Judy Garland’s charm but also became surprisingly aroused. He called lunch and took her on the Smith’s dining room table.

Many arguments and threats followed a month later between Vincente, Judy, & L.B. Mayer and Minnelli was forced by MGM to leave his lover Tom Drake. He married Judy Garland shortly after during a quick studio wedding. Liza Minnelli was born several months later.
