[PatriciaPaulTucson]

Beautiful! Still gives me goosebumps.

[zilcheynon]

How fortunate we are to have YT for these memories you don't get to see anymore.

[Teddyb1939]

My all time favourite show, All time favourite duet, two magic singers together & complimenting each other so well. one word ,beautiful.

[jfflwn7]

Never EVER fails to have me blubbing at the sheer, magical, expression of true love....If only I could express it so succinctly to my wife.

[lustre5]

She was cuter than cute. They were magic together. He's a singer of singers. Move over Buble.

Shirley Jones is so beautiful... loved her The Music Man as well..

[MrRTFirefly]

What a pleasure

[Twilightfey]

God... the end just makes me cry. It's terribly sad.

[baronwrangel1920]

@Twilightfey Yes me too.The most beautiful song ever recorded,with two perfect actor/singers at their best. Enchanting, really.

[Twilightfey]

@baronwrangel1920 That's not quite what I meant. The end of the movie makes me cry. Although the song is, as you said, enchantingly beautiful. One of the most beautiful songs in Broadway history.

[baronwrangel1920]

@Twilightfey Yes I knew what you meant. The ending of the movie effects me the same way. I was merely adding an additional observation about this song, which in reprise does of course figure also in the ending...

[Wynbis]

That note at 8:50 has to be one of the most beautiful notes sung in history.

[fgonzalez43]

This is so etherially beautiful it defies description.

[tanimiya]

Great job. That duet never fails to move me and they were both perfect for the roles, especially Gordon Macrae. I did hear that Frank Sinatra was originally cast to play the role. I would loved to have seen him in this scene but somehow I think Gordon nails it perfectly.

[romympanlilio]

@tanimiya Yes, I heard that too about Frank Sinatra and that he backed out when he learned that every scene had to be shot twice (Todd AO and Cinemascope). Thanks for watching. 

[MsMaynes]

@romympanlilio

Thank goodness for that. Gordan Macrea gives an unforgettable performance in this role. He and Shirley Jones are perfect together. I only wish they'd made many more films together.

[romympanlilio]

@MsMaynes I wish they could, too. Mr. Gordon MacRae passed away many years ago. Ms. Shirley Jones is still around Thank you for watching.

[MsMaynes]

@romympanlilio Thank you so much for this posting. I saw this when I was young and didn't realise the superb quality of Gordon MacRae's voice. He is also very handsome. I love the scene were he and Shirley Jones sing to each other 'People will say we're in love.' Marvellous:)

[romympanlilio]

@MsMaynes You're very welcome. I;m glad you enjoyed it.

@romympanlilio

It was Oklahoma! which was filmed in Todd-AO and Cinemascope. Carousel was one of just two films shot in Cinemascope-55; the other was The King and I. It was released in 35mm Cinemascope.

[romympanlilio]

@srfurley You're right. 20th Century Fox planned on filming Carousel twice - Cinemascope 55 and regular 35 mm Cinemascope. However, they found a way of converting a movie filmed in Cinemascope55 to regular 35mm Cinemascope, eliminating the need to film Carousel twice..

[RPenta]

@tanimiya Sinatra could never have done the role as well. Hard to have room on the screen for Frank and another prima donna at the same time.

Kudos to Shirley Jones and RIP Mr. Gordon MacRae-the man who was Curley and Billy Bigelow.

CAROUSEL IS MY FAVORITE R/H MUSICAL! IS IT POSSIBLE FOR YOU TO UP LOAD THE ENTIRE 1956 FILM?  I WOULD BE SO HAPPY TO VIEW IT ON MY COMPUTER.

GOD BLESS THE CHILDREN, KARISSAMICHAEL

[romympanlilio]

@KARISSAMICHAELS1 The movie is copyrighted. I cannot do that. User @goldenclassicmovies maybe able to that for you. Regards.

[robbiepat]

I love the way you have brought the 2 scenes together - so poignant - who can remain dry eyed/

[romympanlilio]

Two hauntingly beautiful scenes from the movie joined together by one of the greatest love songs ever written for a musical play -- I'm glad you loved the video. Thank you very much for the kind words.

[wlbaz]

Way different than Oklahoma, that's for sure...but that's what I like about it. :)

[romympanlilio]

@wlbaz Way different but equally as great!

[Stoke55]

i love Gordon's voice, so powerful!!

[lisaadamson1123]
