Special Features
Added 10/3/2009
All special features included in this product come through just fine excepting the "sing-a-long". There is some sound distortion when words are flashed on bottome of screen. Otherwise, I am very pleased with video and audio of this product.

Gordon as good as my husband

Glad to have the DVD of "Carousel". Wanted to compare my husband's portrayal of Billy Bigelow back in 1981 to that of Gordon MacRae in this classic musical, and came away pleased.

Up and Down Ride

Allegedly innovative for it's time, 'Carousel' has tragic elements and an overture to herald the musical*. For those who insist on old-fashioned entertainment it is sure to please. However, a tritely written script doesn't help the proceedings no matter how much it may dwell upon love. Rodgers and Hammerstein's songs and score greatly improve the journey after a consequentially slow start. The results are mixed, but the best songs, particularly "June Is Bustin' out All Over" and "You'll Never Walk Alone" give some badly needed zest even though the screenplay repeats itself or ineffectively borrows from elements of 'Our Town' and 'It's a Wonderful Life'. A comparison to Oscar and Hammerstein's best musicals, including 'Oklahoma' and 'The Sound of Music' will reveal this musical to be an inconsistent carnival ride to be sure.

Rogers and Hammerstein write from the heart. The story doesnt have a happy ending. He died and revisits his widow. But, life doesnt always end happy.
