This movie is fantastic, and hasn't lost anything over the years. I haven't checked out the other options, but the quality is awesome.

This is of course a classic big Broadway musical from the era of great tunes and great stars. What makes this film particularly delightful after all of these years is the direction. It is shot in such a way as to not just "open it up" as a film with songs (which it does), but it gives you the feeling of the stage show with the big numbers choreographed with an eye for the proscenium stage and even a curtain call and encore at the end. You can see why Robert Preston was such a great performer (especially in this role). Comedy buffs can get a renewed appreciation of Paul Ford and Hermione Gingold. We can be charmed by Ron Howard and what a terrific actor he was at such a tender age...and marvel that there was such a creation as Shirley Jones with such beauty and such a voice....can't go wrong...
A timeless classic May 2, 2008

I love how even a cold hearted con-man (played by Robert Preston) can fall in love. How, instead of slipping away in the night, he stays to face the cosequences of his actions - all because he is conflicted over leaving his new love. The new love (played by Shirley Jones)is also cold hearted because of the walls she built up to protect herself from men with one thing on their mind. The intermixing between the two, as Robert Preston tries to capture Shirley Jones' heart is very enjoyable. This "G" rated movie also has Buddy Hackett and shows the debut of Ronnie Howard, as a stuttering boy with a pained heart. Everyone plays their part well.
Filled with music and some dance numbers, this funny little small town romp is slow moving at times, but very ejoyable, and ofter very funny. I am happy that I finally purchased it

This is a movie you must see. They don't make many good movies nowdays. Buy it, and totally get wrapped up in this. The people --characters and the acting are perfect.You'll find yourself humming the songs for weeks after you watch it.

We are still replacing things we lost during Katrina. This movie is such a delight, we had to replace it. Over 2 years after the Hurricane and people are still replacing things. It may be a small thing, but it is just as important to us as any other.
