Rodgers and Hammerstein's Oklahoma! is one big movie. Beautifully crafted and replete with wonderful songs, this musical tells the story of the cowboys and farmers in new prairie land Oklahoma.
The movie centres around a farm-girl Laurey Williams played wonderfully by Shirley Jones and a triangular love story between Curly played by Gordon MacRae and a young Rod Steiger as the farm-hand Jud. Eddie Albert provided the comedy as Ali Hakim, a Persian peddler.
Vibrant movie,great fun just to sing along.
Memorable songs include: 'Oh What a Beautiful Morning, 'I am a Girl who can't say No', 'Surrey with the fringe on top', 'Cowman and farmers must be friends' and 'People will say that we are in love' and the theme song, 'Oklahoma!'
Love this movie!
