State Fair -- Rodgers and Hammerstein's only score written expressly for the screen highlights this delightful film about an Iowa family's adventures at the fair. The Frakes, a farming family, go to the Iowa State Fair to show the father's prize hog, Blue Boy, and enjoy the big event of the year. On the first day, both sourpuss daughter Margy and her brother Wayne find new romance, as does Blue Boy. As the fair proceeds, so do the romances! Includes the Academy Award-winning songs It Might as Well be Spring and It's A Grand Night for Singing.

The legend of Jesse James stars Tyrone Power as the most infamous bandit in the history of the West. Jesse James was a young Missouri farmer forced outside the law after ruthless agents for the transcontinental railroad kill his ailing mother and steal his family's land.

A public-opinion pollster (James Stewart) thinks he's struck gold when he stumbles upon the "magic town" of Grandview, a place where residents' opinions mirror the nation's as a whole.

Complications ensue when the two adversaries begin falling in love despite their differences -- a minor miracle, statistically speaking.
