Favorite Classic Musical Film Tournament (50's Era) Matches

As the 40's era competition winds down with Judy Garland battling herself 4 times over, I thought I would go ahead and list the 50's era matches which will have round one starting next week on Tuesday. Looks like Gene Kelly will be the man to beat as he has three films competing in this era. There are also three Rodgers and Hammerstein musicals competing. Two Leslie Caron films, two Jane Powell films, 2 Fred Astaire films and one more from 40's queen Judy Garland. Looks to be an exciting era.
