Sid & Judy (2019)



Released on Showtime, on October 18th in the US.
Filmed in Canada.
The story: Based on excerpts from Sid Luft, Judy Garland's third husbands' memoirs.
His writings tell of the couple's meeting, her upbringing and family, her stardom, and those pressures.
Her divorce from director Vincente Minnelli and father of her first daughter, Liza, and her release from MGM.
Sid became Judys' manager, best friend, and father of her second daughter and only son.
Family life, friends, and parties, all of which Judy enjoyed.
Things were great in the beginning, even though Judy was always battling many demons.
But as time went on, things got more complicated due to her drug and alcohol use.
Low self-esteem and poor TV ratings sent Judy to the stage, where everyone loved her.
Directed by Stephen Kijak
Rated TV14
