"I Cried for You"
Although "I Cried for You" was written for independent publication, Arthur Freed, its lyricist, interpolated it into the movie version of Babes in Arms, which he produced for MGM in 1939, where it is sung by Judy Garland. Judy plays Patsy Barton who has just been replaced by the established child actress "Baby Rosalie" in a show produced by her boy friend Mickey (Mickey Rooney). Rosalie has got money and needs a part. Mickey has a part in his show but needs money--so Judy/Patsy is the loser. Broken-hearted, she boards a train and sings " I Cried for You."
