About this product

Product Information

Spectacular staging dots this widescreen deluxe Rodgers and Hammerstein musical as Gordon MacRae brings a blustery energy to the lead role of Billy Bigelow, a drifter and ne'er-do-well carnival barker. The troubled soul finally settles down with a good woman (Shirley Jones) but then gets stabbed to death while committing a robbery. Many years later, an angel offers the roustabout the chance to return to earth for just one day to makes things right for his unhappy wife and the daughter he never had the chance to meet. Based on the French play LILION by Ferene Molnar, CAROUSEL ranks among the better Rodgers and Hammerstein musicals, making it a classic by any standard. To boot, the film's tale of love between Bigelow and wife Julie rivals that of any other 1950s musical. Songs from the outstanding score include "If I Loved You," "June Is Busting Out All Over," and "You'll Never Walk Alone."

  • A Classic Gem

    Carousel shows that bad choices can lead to severe consequences. Wonderful musical, join a star eye girl and a man who works the Carousel fall in love, only the man decides money is the most important thing. Especially when a new member of the family will be joining them soon. What will happen will temptation win? What happens to these two people? A happy ever after or a moment of happiness?

  • Carousel remembered

    In its day this was an acceptable recording of an iconic Broadway musical. This version has not aged well. The Cinemascope format does not work on television screens. Except for Shirley Jones, the cast is not suited to their parts. It is a waste of money.

  • I Love This Movie

    This was one of the iconic movies from my childhood. It was based on a play by the Hungarian Ferenc Molnar, called "Liliom," which means "tough guy" in Hungarian. The view of what Heaven is like, the struggles of the characters, the songs and the romance all appeal to me. Watching it again, I was reminded of all I loved about this movie when I was a child.

  • One of the best musicals on screen: memorable music and excellent dance number.

    This is one of the best Rogers and Hammerstein musicals. However, the movie was formatted for a smaller screen and could not be enlarged to fit our 75 inch screen.

  • A classic Mid Century Musical

    A wonderful combination of Gordon McCrea and Shirley Jones singing some of the most powerful songs ever written by Rogers and Hammerstein, and which are part of Americana. Real talented singers, not just actors trying to sing. Very nostalgic for me.
