'Somewhere Over The Rainbow' might be one of the most recognizable songs of all time, so it was kind of a given than the first trailer for Judy, the Judy Garland biopic starring Renée Zellweger as the legendary entertainer, would lead with its iconic tune.

The trailer has no dialogue, instead letting Zellweger's intentionally sad, broken-sounding rendition (performed as a Garland 30 years removed from The Wizard of Oz) overlay moments from Garland's remarkable life.

Judy hits theaters September 27.
