I hate Rogers and Hammerstein, so I'm biased. And I'm from Kansas City, so I hate hearing that song, making me even more biased. A dated, sappy musical from a time of optimism so relentless it's a wonder there's any conflict in the narrative at all.

What I liked: A few catchy tunes, the colors, the vistas, and most of all, Charlotte Greenwood as Aunt Eller. What I disliked: the pseudo-wholesomeness of this movie makes for such a bizarre film--either everything is over-the-top sugary sweet, or Judd is a peeping tom with violent fantasies. Where's the nuance in character or narrative? These extreme pendulum swings make for one of the most uneven films I've ever seen.

Dull direction, Gloria Grahame is far too hip to be Ado Annie, and Rod Steiger is so creepy and sweaty its like he parachuted in from some B crime movie. The songs are great, though, and all those pretty girls look lovely in their vintage underwear.

A few good moments but overall representative of camp classic musical adaptations I can't stand.

I really don't like Rodgers and Hammerstein most of the time, and this is a movie based on one of their weakest shows. The show itself also gets a fairly bizarre treatment here, complete with a surreal extended dance number featuring different actors than are in the rest of the movie.

oh, what a beautiful...............film!

I HATE singing cowboys

The best adaptation of an American musical brought to the screen. A big screen love story set against the westward expansion of America.

I can appreciate the movie and what it did when, but it a tad slow, and drawn out. Plus, I wasn't overly impressed with the acting.

musicals.

The only Rodgers and Hammerstein musical that I like, and then only a little bit. Pleasantly weird to see Rod Steiger sing

Dated but quaint musical with some great sing along numbers and enough wide open scenery for anyones taste. Well acted and an enjoyable watch.
