Carousel [1956 PAL DVD9][En Nordic+En]

Description
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 neer-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 films 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 Youll Never Walk Alone.
