Scott R @ScottR 2d NYT 1000 films. A cute precode film showcasing a family’s ambitions for the state fair and their successes. It was fun and compelling, but also had some suspect implied values around kids sleeping around at the fair. Regardless, it was entertaining. Saw on YouTube. See more Thomaz Antônio d @Thomaz1983 Dec 30 Não é apenas um dos melhores veículos de Will Rogers, mas também uma preciosa fatia do estilo de vida nos anos 1930, onde o diretor Henry King, na sua melhor forma de contar histórias, retrata uma família do interior que participa da famosa feira estadual anual: mamãe prepara um prato para o concurso de culinária, papai deseja a fita azul (primeiro prêmio) para seu porco favorito, filho e filha estão à procura do verdadeiro amor. Excelentes ambientação e atmosfera, boas atuações. Indicado ao Oscar de Melhor Filme e Melhor Roteiro Adaptado (do romance de Phil Stong, que foi refeito duas vezes para o cinema, até agora, em formato de musicais, em 1945 e 1962). Curiosidade: Um dos prêmios na barraca de arremesso de argolas é uma linda pulseira em liga de prata cravada com imitações de rubis brasileiros. "Uma feira de amostras é como a vida: começa vigorosamente, oferecendo de tudo, de ovelhas a fitas azuis, de belas formas a olhos azuis, e acaba rápido demais..."

The film is a very simple film, but it’s easy to watch and it has some comedy to it and some drama in the end. It’s a film that will put a smile on your face.

In the 1930s Janet Gaynor was a huge star, veteran of a number of silent features with Charles Farrell while Will Rogers was one of the best loved actors. State Fair teams them up as father and daughter and adds Norman Foster as her Brother and Louise Dresser as the mother. It was a film with high production value and would look great if it were cleaned up a bit. See more steve d @RT35616104 07/23/2020 It is still quite charming. See more Read all reviews
