Harry, good offbeat pick and you did right by it. Congratulations! Have you ever seen the tv version Live? that Robert Goulet did of this back in the 1960s before he became a parody of himself. I saw it last year on a website and he really was quite good in the role. Regards, Gerard.

That was a splendid Rodgers and Hammerstein musical made into a movie. You have described it well in few words. Congratulations on winning.

Gosh, this sounds so familiar to me. What decade was this one in? These lanternes are very limiting, don't you think, Harry? You want to be able to say so much more, but you can't! good luck. Luv, Andrea

Gee, I haven't seen this movie, Harry. Like your description of the girl named Bill. That name alone would make me sad, but seeing a sad girl in the midst of a festive carnival is a most intriguing image. Good luck in the movie contest! Love, Carolyn

Gordon McCrae and Shirley Jones....oh yes....such great music.....and Okalahoma...another pairing of those two ..... takes me back to those great days of the musicals! Good pick, Harry!!
