  • This 1945 movie musical, adapted from a novel by Philip Stong, bears the distinction of being Rodgers and Hammerstein's only movie not based a Broadway musical, although it spawned a Screen to Stage Adaptation in the mid-1990s. As the Frake family prepares for a trip to Iowa's annual state fair, Abel Frake bets a friend that he and his family will achieve all the goals they set for the occasion. Abel has raised his pig, Blueboy, to become a contender for a blue ribbon. His wife, Melissa, has made mincemeat and pickles for cooking contests. Their son, Wayne, has brushed up his ring-tossing skills. Finally, Abel's and Melissa's daughter, Margy, hopes to find love during her temporary escape from mundane life on the farm. At the fair, Margy's dreams seem to start coming true when she meets a worldly reporter named Pat Gilbert. Wayne, meanwhile, has become attracted to a singer named Emily Edwards. As Abel, Melissa, and Wayne rack up prizes, an issue rises: can these new couples maintain their relationships after Iowa's state fair ends for another year? A remake came out in 1962. The Frakes in this version attend Texas' state fair, where Wayne plans to win a car race, and Emily works as a showgirl with the last name Porter. This version also boasts six additional songs, written by Richard Rodgers.
