    One of Rogers & Hammerstein's most beloved scores, and presented beautifully. It was overlooked at the time due to poor box office, and it's hard to see it gaining a new audience. Modern sensibilities make the film's blase treatment of spousal abuse unpleasant. 11 years 10 months ago

    A spectacularly odd film, from the weirdly aimless storyline, to the mostly mediocre or bizarre songs, not to mention the horrendously outdated views on domestic violence.

    Plus, not actually very much to do with the titular fairground attraction.
