Where there was prejudice against different races, women were considered subservient & were expected to aspire to find a man and to be barefoot & pregnant in the kitchen. If they did work they basically had the choice of nurse, secretary or teacher. They received minimum wage & stayed way below the salery of a male in a comparable job. Yep, those were the "good times."

It was the #1 box office film in America in 1958. It had not only Rodgers & Hammerstein's best score ever, but R&H's personal attack on the racism of the America of that time which we still fight seven decades later. Yet, the film not only did not even get a nomination for Best Picture, but had to watch from the sidelines as another musical (''Gigi''), a questionable film which has a storyline about a man falling in love with an underage girl won the Best Picture Oscar. Tragic.

I don't think it contained the longer version of 'I'm Gonna Wash That Man' as per the Soundtrack album but I can be sure about that, but it was a much longer version.

This movie was one of the main reasons I joined the US Navy and was in the medical field during the Vietnam War. I watched every movie about the US Navy I could!! I love this movie and was extremely happy when I found it. 👩🏼✈️⚓🏥💉💊🩹🩺🇺🇸

While styles may have changed, the exquisite artistry of the music lives on from two giants of the craft Richard Rodgers & Oscar Hammerstein, coupled with the talent of Mitzi Gaynor. The gentle way racism is tackled influenced a generation too and opened the eyes of many. A timeless beautiful and classic musical from a golden age of the genre.

@@laureliechapman1267 It’s the truth, though. As soon as you accept that, you can work on changing it. Until then, it is futile to try. You’ll just be kicking at air.

This is a great restoration of the original film in sound and picture. I am not a fan of the colour filters, they’re not subtle but the score, the lyrics, the book, the production values, the casting, all are amazing.

I'm not a fan of the color filters either.

Thank you for sharing this Wonderful Movie. Hollywood does not make these types of movies The Movies that are made now are filled with. Violence Sex Anger Dirty language and Hate. No good values taught to the young generation. Movies suppose to entertain and Relax. We Do Not See That In The Movies These days All the Movie directors are Concerned with Making a Fast Buck and Make movies full of Violence
