Unlike the many disgruntledviews who put in bad reviews, I enjoyed this movie of Ruth. I received a good blessing from the well told story and the many talented people involved. The makeup was very underdone and if there was a modern look to some of it, I did not notice it. I was able to see the story from God's Word shown in evidence. Carman did well, even though I didn't realize who it was upon watching him in this. Each female character was portrayed as it should have been and it was good to include how Ruth was a part of David's family. I think each person did a good job on their characters. Sorry so many people were so critical!

I love this version. One review gave an address for a DVD of it, but in checking, it is no longer available. Hoping one will come in the future. By far much funnier, and less snobbier than the original movie. Richard Thomas is great!

I love all the action.....especially that of Robert Preston and his way of bringing joy and interesting things to a little Iowa town. And one of the things I enjoyed the most were the talented dance routines in the library, in the town hall, and in the park. When I first watched this in my teens, I had a longing to dance. Never realized of course. But to watch these talented people, especially "Tommy", who was the best in his scenes. It is a marvelous movie...especially as a holiday movie when you need something to overcome your neighbor's over loud fireworks.
