State Fair (Episode 235) - Hot Date with Dan and Vicky
About this episode
Dan and Vicky discuss the 1962 musical film State Fair and other recently seen movies.
1962's State Fair marked the third screen adapatation of the novel by Phil Stong. As in 1945, this one was a musical but a big, colorful, expansive musical that Hollywood was so good at in the 1960's. Starring heartthrobs Pat Boone, Bobby Darin and Ann-Margret, it's the story of the Frake family and their ambitions to win big at the State Fair of Texas in Dallas. Rodgers and Hammerstein wrote new music for the film, one of the few musicals written expressly for the big screen, and several plot elements were added or changed to make this version more contemporary. Tom Ewell, Alice Faye (coming out of retirement) and Pamela Tiffin round out the Frake family. Dan and Vicky discuss the film as well as some recently seen movies like Obsession, Apex, Tuner, Is God Is, and Remarkably Bright Creatures.
