Nobody can sing this like Gordon MacRae.

Musicals are special, they're movies, but they're movies with so much more heart than ordinary films. I think.

Every time I hear this song, I thank the music gods that Gordon MacRae sang this rather than Frank Sinatra.

There is only one God, but I want to ask you what you think about the dude in "Paint Your Wagon", Harve Presnell, who sang " They Call The Wind Maria"---sigh... Also, he played Leadville Johnny both on Broadway, (entire run), of "Unsinkable Molly Brown", and the film version in 1964. I saw the movie with Debbie Reynolds. I guess they weren't making quality so much after that, so, those types of roles diminished for him, as far as movies go. I see where he played Daddy Warbucks in touring company; I saw it twice, once in Atlanta, so, I might have seen him.

So wonderful. Every October my dad would take mom from Chicago to NY on one of his business trips. He would do his work stuff and she would shop in the days. At night they would go to the Met and "take in the shows." (This was before you needed a second mortgage for Broadway tix.) One year they finally took me and my brother and sister and we saw The Music Man. Decades past. Dad and Joey gone, my sister working in Tokyo. Mom was 100 and living with me. We watched The Music Man on TCM one night. The next morning she didn't wake up but I thought "Well, she went out on a good night."

Rodgers & Hammerstein were absolutely perfect genius together. They gave us so very many gorgeous songs....it just doesn't happen anymore, sadly. *sigh* from Carousel to Oklahoma, The Music Man, The King and I (Anna & the King of Siam), South Pacific, The Sound of Music....so much of the American Soundtrack from 50s to the 70s was by these 2 gentlemen & some wonderful actors who could actually sing! Definitely part of the fabric of lives from that era.

Except they didn't write 'The Music Man'. That was penned by Meredith Wilson.

People today have no idea of the talent that the stars of the old days had, and how much we loved our old motion pictures.

I didn't see this film until I was in my twenties, but musicals such as this firmly founded my ideas of what love would be like. My parents story of meeting could have been made into one. And both of them sang beautifully. My brothers were in the orchestras of several musicals (including this one) when I was a young teen. Tragically, my mother would pass away agonizingly close to their 25th wedding anniversary. I worried that something like that might happen to me. My wife, every bit as beautiful and enchanting as Shirley Jones is here, didn't pass away . But 17 years later she chose to leave me. There has been a huge hole in my heart ever since. That was 27 years ago now. SO here I sit, alone for all those years, yet still believing in this kind of magically intense love, quietly crying real tears, thinking of the loss my poor Father had to endure fror24 years, and now his son, an even longer time. I must look and sound pathetic, but there is no one here to see. And I will never stop believing. And at least my Father and I had a lot longer than poor Billy Bigelow. tp experience transformative love, the kind I expect to feel again in Heaven.

Unlike the more popular and uplifting stories of finding love after loss, the darker and quiet reality is that many people never find their special someone-either again, or just never at all. It’s why many of “us” need to escape to an idealized masterpiece of young love such as this song

My mum and I used to watch this when I was a kid. Lost my mum to dementia last November. Watching this with tears but also a smile xxx

Shirley and Gordon were perfect in their roles as Julie and Billy. This scene is incredible. I could watch it over and over. Rogers and Hammerstein were brilliant composers. "If I Loved You" is such a beautiful song. It's so touching. Amazing performance by two seasoned professionals, Gordon MacRae and Shirley Jones. The ever talented Shirley Jones mentioned in an interview that Frank Sinatra was supposed to portray the role of Billy Bigielow and then bowed out. One of the producers asked Shirley to get a hold of Gordon MacRae so he could take over the role of Billy and the rest is history. CAROUSEL was an amazing movie with a superb cast. I've been singing "If I Loved You" a lot lately. Can't help myself. ♥♥♥♥Love this song so much!!!!

This is the most beautiful love song ever written IMHO. And Shirley Jones and Gordon McRae really sell it!

Still moved by this passion-sixty-five years later (and still delighted to be married and to be a father and grandfather).

One of the most beautiful tunes.
