Rufus Wainwright's Judy Tribute Goes to the Movies

If you weren't one of the lucky gay men - what, there were non-queers in the audience? - who made it to New York City earlier this year to see Rufus Wainwright recreate Judy Garland's legendary 1961 Carnegie Hall concert, despair not.

Lesbian uber-producer Christine Vachon (Boys Don't Cry, Far from Heaven) arranged to have the whole event filmed by Oscar-winning American Beauty director Sam Mendes.

Wainwright's loving tribute to the famous one-woman evening of vocal pyrotechnics features scads of classic signature Garland songs, from "Over the Rainbow" to "Zing! Went the Strings of My Heart" to "Stormy Weather."

The concert film should pop up in theaters everywhere in 2007, so you'll no longer need to think of Wainwright as "The Man That Got Away."
