Oklahoma!

1955, Movie, G, 145 mins

Watch it for the songs. A paean to Oklahoma's "Sooner" pioneers, it's a watchable, toe-tapping rendering of an innovative Broadway landmark. Boys (Gordon MacRae and Gene Nelson) meet girls (Shirley Jones and Gloria Grahame); boys almost lose girls, all complicated by the villainous Jud Fry (Rod Steiger, in a ridiculously hammy, off-key performance as the farmhand-from-hell). Although the score is by now deeply embedded in the minds of anyone who has ears, it gets spirited renditions here that are well worth listening to. Read the complete review for Oklahoma!
