REVIEWED By Marjorie Baumgarten, Thu., Aug. 12, 1999

Here's one that's earned a deserved place in the Paramount's 70mm Film Series. Originally filmed in Todd-A-O (70mm) and CinemaScope, it is the CinemaScope version that airs on TV and was dubbed to video. This screening features a 70mm archival print, as well as all the stellar Rodgers and Hammerstein tunes. - signed, "I'm Just a Girl Who Can't Say No"
