Oklahoma! (50th Anniversary Edition) description
The hit Broadway musical from the 1940s gets a lavish if not always exciting workout in this 1955 film version directed by old lion Fred Zinnemann (High Noon). Gordon MacRae brings his sterling voice to the role of cowboy Curly, and Shirley Jones plays Laurie, the object of his affection. The Rodgers and Hammerstein score includes "The Surrey with the Fringe on Top," "Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin'," and "People Will Say We're in Love," and Agnes DeMille provides the buoyant choreography. Among the supporting cast, Gloria Grahame is memorable as Ado Annie, the "girl who cain't say no," and Rod Steiger overdoes it as the villainous Jud. --Tom Keogh |

I LOVE this movie!
|
This has to be the best Rodgers and Hammerstein musical after "The Sound of Music"! I love the opening scene where Gordon MacRae comes riding in on his horse in the middle of the huge corn field singing "Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin'..." It has some fabulous songs! I think that is my favorite part! The main point is these two men, Curly (Gordon MacRae), the handsome cowboy, and Judd, the hired hand both love Laurey Williams (Shirley Jones). Both of them ask her to the dance, but she chooses Judd just to make Curly jealous. But she soon realizes she loves Curly!
The other reviews I was reading said how horrible this 50th. Anniversary DVD was, but my sister and I bought this for my Mom for her birthday and it played fine in the DVD player and on our laptop. |
