| From what I can see, the Kelli O'Hara PBS/Lincoln Center production is no longer available for streaming. It was on PBS Passport for a long time. Also there is no Blu-ray or DVD commercially available. It used to be floating around the interwebs illegally but I can't link to that. Also, if you opt for the 1956 movie with Deborah Kerr and Yul Brynner - buyer beware. The Blu-ray version that was widely available was transferred from a source that had the reds in the Technicolor degraded - the whole thing was awash in blue. It is shocking that this transfer was approved for commercial release. The earlier DVD version as part of the Rodgers and Hammerstein Collection was fine color-wise. So be careful which version you buy. I don't know if there has been a color corrected Blu-ray released since. Seconding and thirding and upwards to all those who love Deborah Kerr and the 1956 movie. Maureen O'Hara had a lovely soprano voice and lots of Irish spunk and sass but Rodgers demurred - "I don't want a Pirate Queen as my Anna". I am sure O'Hara would have proved him wrong. Also, the soundtrack has "Shall I Tell You What I Think of You?" on it and Kerr and Marni Nixon expertly divide up the vocal line with the talky bits going to Kerr and the few sustained singing phrases mimicked by Nixon. Not sure how much Kerr sings of "Shall We Dance" since the voice matching is expert as is the delivery. There are also questions as to if the three cut songs were filmed - no footage was found but stills were. Marlo Manners (Lady Barrington) |
