Synopsis
When gold is discovered in California, a motley community of prospectors springs up overnight, including the grizzled Ben Rumson and his daughter Jennifer. As the mining camp grows into a boomtown and then collapses, fortunes rise and fall, and love proves as elusive as gold. Lerner and Loewe's rugged musical, set during the Gold Rush, features the standards 'They Call the Wind Maria' and 'I Talk to the Trees.'
