In the Good Old Summertime

Judy Garland, Van Johnson and silent comedy icon Buster Keaton star in this delightful musical when love can bloom between the most unlikely of couples In the Good Old Summertime. When lonely Veronica Fisher (Garland) places an advertisement in the paper inviting correspondence with an intelligent young man, a romance blossoms between Fisher and Andrew Delby Larkin (Van Johnson), even though the two never meet. Meanwhile, Fisher takes a job at a local music store--working with Larkin. The two actively dislike each other at work, unaware that they are ardently writing to each other at night. Sooner or later, the truth will come out, but when it does will Fisher and Larkin find love or separate In the Good Old Summertime?
