State Fair
Not yet rated
Time Out says
Odious Rodgers and Hammerstein musical, as fey and insipid as they come, too obviously modelled on Meet Me in St Louis (1944). The story's about the (non-) adventures of the Frake family at the Iowa State Fair. If you're a fan of the music, you may be able to overlook the general mawkishness, but it'll take an effort. Songs include 'Isn't It Kinda Fun' and the Oscar-winning 'It Might As Well Be Spring'. Henry King made an earlier version with Will Rogers and Janet Gaynor in 1933.Author: GM
