It frequently plays like a dour version of It’s a Wonderful Life.

Two performances ring true -- those of Claramae Turner and Robert Rounesville. But at best, it is an unimaginative Carousel that we have been given, resembling on the whole nothing so much as an open-air amateur production.

The fact that Carousel is Rogers and Hammerstein's least accessible and darkest musical is what makes it so compelling

Carousel on screen is something less, alas.
