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'.

  • Good DVD at an attractive price.

    Although not as good as the actual sound track it is a very good substitute and easy to listen to.

  • Not one of R&H best.

    Had this originally on vhs but lost in the mists of time. Good entertaining film hampered by some pretty awful acting but enhanced by some stunning music. The plot is too well known to be still a novelty but is saved by You'll never walk alone. Only minus was the dvd losing lipsync half way through but caught up later. Recommended for all musical fans but the dance routines owed quite a lot to Seven brides for seven brothers which is a far superior offering.
