| | Oklahoma! - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The trend of "road show" stage-to-film musicals lasted into the early 1970's, the last of them being the film versions of "Fiddler on the Roof" and "Man of La Mancha", respectively. | | | The play was adapted into an Academy Award–winning musical film in 1955, starring Gordon MacRae, Shirley Jones (in her film debut), Rod Steiger, Gloria Grahame, and Eddie Albert. | | | The movie of "Oklahoma!" initiated a new trend - filming stage musicals virtually complete, and showing them as "road show" attractions (two performances a day, usually with an intermission, like stage productions). |

| | Hair |
| | The film is well acted, extremely well choreographed and the voice talents used in the films musical performances is sometimes utterly mesmerizing, and if the film is guilty of anything, it is its own faithfulness. | | | The music carries the film and as such a good audio transfer is essential for this movie. | | | Well transferred for this release with a truly powerful soundtrack, Hair is a musical release no DVD owner should miss out on. |

| | True, the '55 musical film has a conga sequence, but it's just a dance and not a song, and the cadets and the conga were, after all, in the original play. | | | Denied the chance to preserve her Broadway musical role on film, Russell saw to it that a two-hour TV production of Wonderful Town was telecast in 1958, just three years after the release of the Sister Eileen musical film. | | | There's a blandness about this My Sister Eileen that's not to be found in the '42 film or '53 stage musical. |

| | RMA Music and Film 2001 - Hubbert |
| | While his contemporaries Jaubert, Steiner and Copland were emphasizing the dramatic psychological and emotion possibilities of musical underscoring, Eisenstein focused almost exclusively on the "movement" of sound film, on the rhythmic and metrical coordination of music and images. | | | That Eisenstein may have been working on his alternative "movement" theory of film music even before the advent of sound film only cements his position as a significant and influential architect of film music and film music theory, a significance that has yet to be adequately recognized by film music historians. | | | The visual and musical montage Eisenstein helped to create in the score of Alexander Nevsky (1938), was a noticeable departure from the wall-to-wall-music model Steiner was standardizing at almost the same time in Hollywood in Gone with the Wind (1939). |

| | Chicago - Greg's Preview - Yahoo! Movies |
| | Musicals, the sort where characters break regularly into song and dance, fell out of favor in film in the 1970's as a reaction against anything that didn't seem "realistic." Now, decades later, realism is not nearly as treasured in film, as fantasy (such as Lord of the Rings) and music both make their long-deserved returns. | | | Choosing to let the music do most of the talking, it stands out as a non-conventional trailer (ie, it doesn't say a thing about the story, really), and I think this trailer and film are going to connect with fans of musicals, Fosse, and the many stars involved. | | | Missing Song Note: (12/30/02) One musical number that was actually filmed but edited out of the theatrically released version of the movie was "Class", a duet between Queen Latifah and Catherine Zeta-Jones. |

| | It focused on Beatlemania and their hectic touring lifestyle, and was directed in a quasi-documentary style in black-and-white by an up-and-coming Richard Lester, who was known for having directed a television version of the successful BBC radio series The Goon Show as well as the offbeat short film "The Running, Jumping and Standing Still Film". | | | Harrison's interest in Indian music was an important influence on the popularisation of the so-called world music genre in the years that followed. | | | After "Come Together" was released, music publisher Morris Levy sued John Lennon for copyright infringement of his song "You Can't Catch Me", ultimately resulting in Lennon agreeing to record covers of Levy's songs for his solo album Rock 'n' Roll so that Levy could receive royalties. |

| | DVD Verdict Review - My Sister Eileen |
| | The basis for this 1955 film, a series of humorous autobiographical sketches by Ruth McKenney, inspired a stage play, a 1942 nonmusical film with Rosalind Russell, a Broadway musical (recently revived) called Wonderful Town, and this entirely separate big-screen musical. | | | Call it naïve optimism, but that's one of the things I enjoy most about musicals like this one. | | | A less intelligent script might have made her character into a dumb blonde, but Eileen is just as well-rounded a personality as Ruth, and the relationship between the two sisters is a large part of what makes this film so heartwarming. |

| | 42nd Street (1933) |
| | 42nd Street (1933) is the classic, fast-paced, backstage movie musical - a refreshing film that changed the film musical forever and saved Warner Bros. studios from bankruptcy, helping it grow into a major studio. | | | In contrast to the fantasy, escapist romantic dance musicals of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers that also began in the same year (Flying Down to Rio (1933)), this film was an unglamorized look at the tough realities of backstage life behind the footlights. | | | Set during the Depression and about the Depression, this film is considered the backstage musical par excellence, the grand-daddy of them all. |
