Editorial Review

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
