Plot

Set against a vibrant Mexican festival backdrop, La Fiesta de Santa Barbara showcases a delightful blend of comedy and music. Directed by Louis Lewyn, this 1935 short film earned an Academy Award nomination for Best Short Subject (Color) at the 9th Academy Awards. A young Judy Garland, just 13 years old and not yet a star, charms audiences alongside her sisters as they perform "La Cucaracha." The film features Hollywood luminaries engaging in festive antics, including Andy Devine's comical bullfight, orchestrated by Buster Keaton. Musical performances from Joe Morrison and The Garland Sisters add to the joyous atmosphere.
