Description

Wonderful music!!! This is an auction for a DVD of ROGERS & HAMMERSTEIN'S STATE FAIR - THE TWO-DISC COLLECTOR'S EDITION. From Wikipedia: "State Fair is a 1945 American Technicolor musical film directed by Walter Lang with original music by Rodgers and Hammerstein. It stars Jeanne Crain, Dana Andrews, Dick Haymes, Vivian Blaine, Fay Bainter, and Charles Winninger. State Fair was the only Rodgers and Hammerstein musical written directly for film. The movie introduced such popular songs as "It's A Grand Night For Singing" and "It Might as Well Be Spring", which won the Academy Award for Best Original Song... The Frake family is getting ready for the Iowa State Fair – each with their own hopes for the trip ("Our State Fair"). Father Abel (Charles Winninger) tends to his pig Blue Boy and bets his neighbour Dave Miller (Percy Kilbride) five dollars that the pig will win at the fair, and that the Frake family will all have a good time at the fair with no bad experiences. Daughter Margy (Jeanne Crain) is in a melancholic mood as she packs for the fair ("It Might As Well Be Spring"). Margy muses about how the Fair will at least give her a break from seeing and doing the same old things every day on the farm. Later, Harry, Margy's fiancé, tells her he can't go to the fair with her because he has to take care of his cows. He describes the modern farm he wants to have after they are married, with a farmhouse made out of prefabricated plastic with linoleum floors throughout. Margy, who thinks old houses are charming, is not enthusiastic about Harry's ideas or about Harry either..." More here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_Fair_(1945_film) As new condition.
