Richard Rodgers composed the music, and Oscar Hammerstein wrote the lyrics to the play that takes place between 1873 and 1888 in a small New England fishing village. The plot centers on a love affair between Billy and Julie, who leaves her job to be with him, and they soon marry. With fatherhood approaching, Billy becomes desperate for money and dies during an attempted robbery. Years later, he is allowed to return to earth for a short time to find his daughter and redeem himself. Twentieth Century Fox released a motion picture version in 1956 starring Shirley Jones and Gordon MacRae.
