I'm a fan of both girls as well as their singing styles and due to the fact they never made another movie together, this short is a historical gem of the two greatest young singers of their era singing together. I own 'For Me And My Gal' and watch this short regularly, always getting a buzz listening to their rendition of 'Americana'.
I do feel it was an important stepping stone for both their careers..after seeing 'Every Sunday' Joe Pasternak at Universal wanted to use Judy initially for 'Three Smart Girls' but MGM wouldn't release her, so he used Deanna instead and the rest is history. On the back of 'Every Sunday' 20th Century Fox borrowed Judy for 'Pigskin Parade', making MGM realize that if Universal and 20th Century Fox wanted her, she must of had something that they were missing although it took them sometime to properly utilize her, culminating in 'The Wizard of Oz'.
'Every Sunday' convinced me of the brilliance and long lasting popularity in their embryonic stages of the wonderful Judy and Deanna.
