Billy Bigelow has been dead for fifteen years, and now outside the pearly gates, he long waived his right to go back to Earth for a day. But he has heard that there is a problem with his family, namely his wife Julie Bigelow née Jordan and the child he never met, that problem with which he would now like to head back to Earth to assist in rectifying. Before he is allowed back to Earth, he has to get the OK from the gatekeeper, to who he tells his story... Immediately attracted to each other, he and Julie met when he worked as a carousel barker. Both stated to the other that they did not believe in love or marriage, but they did get married. Because the shrewish carousel owner, Mrs. Mullin, was attracted to Billy herself, and since she believed he was only of use as a barker if he was single to attract the young women to the carousel, she fired him. With no other job skills and unwilling to take just any job, Billy did not provide for Julie but rather lived off Julie's Aunt Nettie. But Billy figured he could be the breadwinner through his association with a criminal lowlife named Jigger Craigin, which led to his death. In going back to Earth, Billy not only hopes to help his child, but "tell" Julie of his true feeling for her.
Leave your thoughts about Carousel.
| Filmcritic.comDon WillmottThe fact that Carousel is Rogers and Hammerstein's least accessible and darkest musical is what makes it so compelling |
| Film Freak CentralWalter ChawCarousel on screen is something less, alas. |
| User ReviewToni ROne of my favorite musical with my favorite song "You'll Never Walk Alone". Wonderful filmed in Todd-AO system. Thank you so much Shirley!!! |
| User ReviewSarah F"I loved you, Julie. Know that. I loved you." |
| User ReviewRay JLoved it! Great song and dance numbers and the story was warm as it was touching. |
| User ReviewDavid Fa sweet love story of a carousel worker and his girl. Sadly he gets killed but he keeps looking out for her once in heaven and realizes that his daughter is a lot like him. The music is beautiful |
| User ReviewDonald MOne of the great musicals. A good story which has a happy ending. Tear Jerker supreme. |
| User ReviewLiz Gthe most beautiful musical even made...i defy you not to cry....and Gordon MacRae is very fine indeed........and yes it is Shirley from the Partridge Family!! |
| User ReviewCarol Syou can't help but cry at the end. Leaves you wondering why you have any sympathy for a wife beating thug though! |
