STATE FAIR, 1962, 20th Century Fox, 118 min. Dir. Jose Ferrer. This bright and cheery CinemaScope 1960s remake relocates the state fair from Iowa to Texas and employs the charms of musical golden girl Ann-Margret as a singer who threatens to lure hometown boy Wayne (Pat Boone) away from his long-time girlfriend. Enjoy “Our State Fair,” “It Might as Well Be Spring” and all the gloriously infectious Rodgers & Hammerstein tunes all over again!
Discussion following with actor Pat Boone.
