CL Flick: Carousel (1956) will be shown at 7:30 pm in the Large Meeting Room. Not your typical 1950s musical, this often-overlooked Rodgers and Hammerstein classic takes an abusive husband and gives him one last chance to make things right with his wife and newborn daughter. Gordon MacRae stars as Billy, a lowlife carny barker, and Shirley Jones plays his wife, Julie, an innocent girl who’s fallen for the wrong guy. After getting himself killed, Billy is allowed out of purgatory for one last shot at redemption.
Rated: NR.
Running time: 2 hours 8 minutes
