Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
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
Description:
Set in the Oklahoma Territory in the early 1900's, this joyous celebration of frontier life is a story of tender romance and dangerous passion. Gordon MacRae is Curly, a sunny, good-natured ranch hand, and Shirley Jones is Laurey Williams, the farmer's daughter he loves. Rod Steiger is he menacing Jud, who tries to comes between them. The first Rodgers and Hammerstein collaboration, this Academy Award winner for Best Score features the classic songs 'Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin',' 'The Surrey With The Fringe On Top' and 'People Will Say We're In Love.'

Rating:  - Oklahoma!
Oklahoma! (50th Anniversary Edition) was very good! It looked as if it was filmed in a modern-day style. I loved it and highly recommend this product to everyone! "OKLAHOMA your O-K"
Rating: - Oklahoma DVD
I bought this for Mother's Day because my mom loved this show and knew all the tunes. Even though she has Alzheimers now and can't always remember who I am she can still sing along with the show and remember most of the words. It brings her such joy.
Rating:  - My Favourite Musical Of All Time But Mixed Feelings About the DVD!
I bought the single disc version that was released in 1999 and the disc says that this is the Todd-AO version and so to fully appreciate the merits of an even wider than usual presentation, the film is shown here in a letterbox format which on my widescreen plasma tv just doesn't quite do it for me. I have to say that the clarity is good in that it is a lot better than what I've been used to when it comes to films of that era and comparing with films like "Rebel Without a Cause" and even "The Searchers" ...

Rating: - Great product!
I ordered Oklahoma because I couldn't find it in any local store and our high school was getting ready to start production! It was extremely fast shipping and the movie was brand new--just as promised! This is a great old classic that I am proud to have in my collection!
Rating: - Almost charming.
It is nice to see a musical set in the Wild West era. The main thing that holds me back from considering this a worthy film is the message given to the one fellow to commit suicide. The reasoning being that he will be remembered then. It is all done very lightheartedly, but still that seems to be a rather peculiar message. And one that keeps this from being a family film, I do believe. Some of the other songs are rather enjoyable, however.
