Fall River Hoedown from New Faces of 1954

I have had tons of requests to post this clip from New Faces of 1954. I used it in my talk on Lizzie Borden in Popular Culture that I did at the Fall River Public Library on August 9th, 2006.

This is Micheal Brown’s “Fall River Hoedown,” also known as “Lizzie Borden,” also known as “You Can’t Chop Your Poppa Up in Massachusetts.” It premiered in the New Faces of 1952 review on Broadway, but this clip is from the film of that show, renamed New Faces of 1954.

Notice the casting of Lizzie and the movements and choreography of the chorus. High-larious!
