Carousel is an old musical about a dead guy who gets a chance to go back to earth for one day (or ten minutes screen time): during his life, he beat his wife and got killed when he fell on his own knife during a botched robbery. And worst of all, Shirley Jones tells her 15 yr. old daughter that it's possible for "someone to hit you really hard" and not have it hurt: a sure endorsement for spousal abuse.
