State Fair

1945 • 100 minutes

About this movie

Rodgers and Hammerstein's only score written expressly for the screen highlights this delightful film about an Iowa family's adventures at the fair. The Frakes, a farming family, go to the Iowa State Fair to show the father's prize hog, Blue Boy, and enjoy the big event of the year. On the first day, both sourpuss daughter Margy and her brother Wayne find new romance, as does Blue Boy. As the fair proceeds, so do the romances! Includes the Academy Award®-winning songs It Might as Well be Spring and It's A Grand Night for Singing.
