CAROUSEL - 1995
After the mill girl Julie Jordan marries that handsome carousel barker Billy Bigelow things turn sour for the couple. Billy cannot find a job and he and Julie are forced to live with their cousin Nettie. Billy has taken to using violence against her but Julie continues to love her husband. In a desperate ploy for money Billy's friend Jigger Craigin convinces Billy to help him assault and rob David Bascombe, the mill owner. After this plan fails Billy kills himself instead of spending the rest of his life in prison. Fifteen years later Billy is allowed one more visit to Earth. He attempts to show his love for his daughter Louise and Julie.
