Meet Me at the Fair is a 1953 American musical film directed by Douglas Sirk and starring Dan Dailey, Diana Lynn and Hugh O'Brian. Produced and distributed by Universal Pictures, it was shot in technicolor.
A boy named Tad flees from the orphanage and is given a ride by Doc Tilbee, a man with a traveling medicine show. Meanwhile, Zerelda King is assigned to look into possible illegal and unethical activity at an orphanage, which may or may not involve her fiancé.
Movie critic Leonard Maltin considers this to be a "pleasant musical".[3]
