Having never seen the orginal on stage or screen I came to this version without any preconceived ideas and was immediately smitten. Hugh Jackman was excellent as Curly, what a talented individual. Trevor Nunn's direction was wonderful, the cast superb and the updated dances fantastic.
I even watched all the special features, (also good) as it gave me one of the best insights into the era and how Rogers and Hammerstein conceived the musical.
One of the best accolades I can give this film version is that it made me feel happy and for days after I was singing many of the songs. I intend to buy this for my collection.
The Gordon McRae version is well documented and this is what I was sent. I wanted the Maureen Lipman version so it is unfair for me give a rating
