I was thinking of a summer time movie to share and State Fair came to mind.
I have seen the 1962 version several times in the past but just discovered there was also a 1945 first version that had gotten better reviews. There was also a broadway version even earlier.
I also discovered a 60th anniversary dvd that was released in 2005 that describes more about the history of this film.

Saturday is my classes at Fiber U.
I am taking a saori style weaving class for making a bracelet which will
have some weaving tapestry techniques
and also a four hour indigo dye class in the afternoon.
I left my camera up at the lake house thinking
we would be there today-sigh I will see if I can use Hubs camera.
Happy weekend-and stay cool everyone that also has hot weather.
Gld you had a restful day and were able to enjoy a movie. Have fun at your weaving class. Hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteWe're having the heat wave, too. Perfect for staying inside and watching a movie. Enjoy your class!
ReplyDeleteIt's definitely too hot to do anything here. I'm up 'early in the mornings to water the pants that are in pots or recently planted so they don't croak on me.
ReplyDeleteIt's been forever since I've seen this movie :)
It's amazing, but I have never heard of either of these. Remakes are often not as good as the originals, but they both had some big name stars I've actually heard of (grin).
ReplyDeleteI hope you were able to borrow your husband's camera, because you KNOW I want to share your time at Fiber U today.
As an aside, I never go anywhere without my camera, even if it's to the bank and back. Friends call it my third arm.
That 1962 cast! I don't remember having seen either one. I'll have to see if I can find them, thx :)
ReplyDeleteWe are in the heat here also. It is in the high 90's! Watching movies is a good choice. I saw both of these a long time ago and I have vague memories of these 2 versions. Stay cool Kathy. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteNot sure that I've seen this one. Thanks for the recommendation, I love musicals 😁. Happy wishes! Hugs, Jo x
