The film version of Oklahoma! is my favorite Rodgers and Hammerstein film, followed closely by Flower Drum Song. I think it's the best directed film version of a Rodgers and Hammerstein musical and is extremely well cast. In fact, it's probably my favorite film of any Broadway musical.
I was not wild about the Nunn production, at least not in its New York incarnation and the filming of the London production.
The scene where Eller gives Laurey a dress was an addition that I would guess was written by Nunn. It's not in the show and it's not in Green Grow the Lilacs. |
