Question


"In the big production number "On the Atchison, Topeka and the Santa Fe", from Judy Garland's entrance until the tempo change is one take. Rumor has it they only shot it twice and she was dead on both times."

The above lines are from the trivia section. I only want to ask what does it mean when it says that Garland was "dead" on both times ? Right, wrong, accurate, what ???

Thank you

In my vocabulary, "dead on" means to get it right.
