restored "Carousel" at Film Forum
Posted by: ilw 09:22 pm EST 02/13/19

The Film Forum movie theater on Houston Street has a weekend morning series called Film Forum Jr., showing "classics for kids" for $9. This Saturday and Sunday at 11am, they're showing a new 4K digital restoration of the 1956 Carousel.

Don't worry if you don't have any kids to bring with you; it's perfectly acceptable to attend without kids, as I have done.

I've always felt that movie was almost ruined by horrendous direction and bad choices on what to cut and what to retain, but I guess it has enough good moments that it would be worth seeing at least once in a beautifully restored version. For example, the great Jacques d'Amboise in the Louise ballet, which I believe is the only choreography in the film that represents Agnes de Mille's original choreography for the stage version.

the choreography was so close to her original, that she sued R&H and was awarded damages(I think).
