Shirley Jones and Gloria Grahame
D: Fred Zinnemann. Gordon MacRae, Shirley Jones, Charlotte Greenwood, Rod Steiger, Gloria Grahame, Eddie Albert, James Whitmore, Gene Nelson, Barbara Lawrence, Jay C. Flippen. Expansive film version of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s landmark 1943 Broadway musical, filled with timeless songs (and the beautiful voices of MacRae and Jones to sing them)… plus a fine supporting cast led by incomparable Grahame as Ado Annie. Enough fine ingredients to make up for overlength of film. Songs include “Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin’ ” and showstopping title tune. This was filmed in two versions, one in Todd-AO and the other in CinemaScope–it’s the latter version that’s been used for TV and video. In 1994 the Todd-AO negative (made from entirely separate “takes”) was used for laserdisc; many think it’s markedly superior. 2nd Unit Director
