Six of the world's best loved films from Rodgers & Hammerstein--the Academy Award®-winning team that set the standard for the American musical.THE SOUND OF MUSIC: Based on the true story of the Trapp Family Singers, and perhaps the most popular musical of all time, this winner of five Academy Awards® (including Best Picture) stars the electrifying Julie Andrews as Maria, the spirited young woman who leaves the convent to become governess to the children of Captain von Trapp. OKLAHOMA!: This Oscar® winner for Best Score features Shirley Jones as a farmer's daughter who is sought after by good-natured ranch hand, Curly (Gordon MacRae), as well as the conniving Jud (Rod Steiger).. CAROUSEL: Gordon MacRae and Shirley Jones reunite in this bitersweet love story about a smooth-talking carnival barker whose life is taken but who is allowed to return to Earth for one magical day. SOUTH PACIFIC: Mitzi Gaynor thoroughly charms as a young Navy nurse who falls for a French plantation owner (Rossano Brazzi) on a U.S.-occupied South Seas island in this Pulitzer Prize winner, which also won the Oscar® for Best Sound. THE KING AND I: Based on the true story of an Englishwoman (Deborah Kerr) who becomes schoolteacher to the royal court of Siam only to lock horns with the stubborn monarch (Yul Brynner in his Academy Award®-winning performance). STATE FAIR: The Frake family sets out to win numerous prizes, as well as a chance at love, at the annual state fair. Among the film's many delightful tunes, the enchanting "It Might As Well Be Spring" captured an Academy Award® for Best Song.
