While the 20's/30's era winds down with the final match, here are the upcoming matches for the 40's era of our favorite classic musical film tournament. The 40's are notable for introducing Gene Kelly; Judy Garland doing her best work; and Fred Astaire branching out with new partners sans Ginger. So let's get to it, shall we...

This era will kick off Wednesday morning and run through Friday 8 pm EST. Good luck to all the films that are competing.
Compared to the 2o's/30's poll, I found it quite easy to choose in this first round, but I expect it will get harder as the films are whittled down!
