The hit Broadway musical from the 1940s gets a lavish if not always exciting workout in this 1955 film version directed by old lion Fred Zinnemann (High Noon). Gordon MacRae brings his sterling voice to the role of cowboy Curly, and Shirley Jones plays Laurie, the object of his affection. The Rodgers and Hammerstein score includes "The Surrey with the Fringe on Top," "Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin'," and "People Will Say We're in Love," and Agnes DeMille provides the buoyant choreography. Among the supporting cast, Gloria Grahame is memorable as Ado Annie, the "girl who cain't say no," and Rod Steiger overdoes it as the villainous Jud. --Tom Keogh

I was disappointed because I thought I had a DVD, but missed the VHS on the item. It was cheap, so I got excited and bought it. When it came, I saw the box and knew why it was cheap. It was totally my fault, so can't blame the seller. I will be more careful next time. We don't own a VHS player, so it was a waste of money for me. I gave it to my church for a yard sale. It taught me a good lesson to pay attention.
 Not Usable July 30, 2008
This video is not usable. There is a lot of static/background noise; the picture rolls vertically on a continual basis. We tried the video on more than one machine, We do not have this problem with any other videos in our collection. We would like a replacement or a refund.
Thank you....LJSumption
 Is 2005 Anniversary edition better than the 1999 DVD? July 22, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I have compared the 2005 50th Anniversary Edition DVD to the 1999 digitally mastered DVD for both video and audio. Visually, the Cinemascope version (Disc 1 of 2) of the 2005 DVD yields the best picture (on wide zoom). Sonically, however, the 1999 DVD sounds better than the 2005 DVD as well as the 2001 remastered audio CD. The sound of the '99 DVD, which had been given THX sound processing, is much more open, bright, and dynamic with clear highs. The sound of the '05 DVD, which really doesn't sound too bad, comes across very slightly muffled, as if it had a layer of gauze placed over it, unfortunately deadening the highs and restricting the openness. So if it's the best picture you're looking for, get the 50th Anniversary DVD. If you want the best sound, get the '99 DVD.

The dvd is 3 hours of great music. Truly a classic movie. Worth the cost to have so it can be played many times.
