Title: This set actually contains two versions of this movie.
Product review: This set contains both the 1947 version as well as the 1962 remake. I much prefer the older 1947 version. It's a gentler telling of the tale. Yes, it's a bit corny but still believable. Family goes to the Iowa State Fair and each one has their own adventure.The 1962 remake has good actors -Pat Boone, Ann-Margaret and others. However when the studio updated the story to 1962 and moved the setting to Texas, they lost much of what made the original so charming. One example was the song and dance number that Ann-Margaret does. Seemed like it should have been in a Las Vegas casino, not a state fair stage.It's because I didn't like the 2nd version that I rated this at 4 stars. However, since the two versions are on separate discs, it's quite easy to just ignore it.
