Pat Boone Rules!!Where Are His Other Movies?!!

Pat Boone rules in this great musical co-starring Anne Margaret.It's unfortunate though that his other movie musicals etc fron the 1950's and 60's have never been released on video such as Bernardine-1957,Mardi Gras-1958,April Love-1957,All Hands on Deck-1961,The Main Attraction-1962,The Yellow Canary-1963,The Horror of it All-1963,Never Put it in Writing-1964,The Perils of Pauline-1967.So spread the word,it's been very,very long overdue!!Video Distributors both large and small including Fox Home Entertainment should aggressively pursue the release of these wonderful and forgotten gems !!I mean Elvis, as great as he was, shouldn't get all the glory!!

This is the THIRD version of this classic, all a must see!

1933 was the first version starring Will Rogers. And while the 1945 version became a classic in its own right, both were staged from the Iowa State Fairs. Then came this 1962 version with the setting of the Texas State Fair including Big Tex as one of its star attractions. While the plots are basically the same, this version taps into race car fans alike and while the Texas State Fair had no race track of its own, the race track that was filmed was from the Oklahoma State Fair's Grandstand Speedway track which still exists as an active race car dirt track. All versions need to be seen during Fair season, you'll appreciate each.

Where is this??

Why is this film not available on DVD? I just can't comprehend why it is not on DVD. MUCH better than any other version!

Pretty good version thanks to Darin, Margaret, Cox

A pretty good version of a rather stodgey old musical. There's no way it can seem fresh, but as a museum piece this version isn't bad thanks to Ann Margaret and Bobby Darin. This was an ideal role for Darin - who likely would have done some broadway musicals thanks to his talents as a singer, dancer, and actor (a classic triple threat) - if his damaged heart hadn't precluded such strenuous roles.

He's at his punky best as the ambitious guy on the make, and delivers the best number of the movie in This Isn't Heaven, a song written especially for the movie. I wish he'd been cast in more musicals to utilize his wide range of talents, but it's great to see him here. Esp in the same movie with Ann Margaret, another triple threat.

Best ever "State Fair"

I've only rated this 3 stars as it's VHS not DVD. If available on DVD it would be a definate 5. It's a perfect mix of comedy, romance and drama. How can you not help cheer for "Blue Boy" and laugh at the mince meat judging. This movie is what a lot of movies today are missing - heart. PLEASE bring it out on DVD.
