This is the best movie! I loved it...I could watch it over and over again! The music, the acting, the choreography...it's all fantastic! I first saw this movie about four years ago, and within the first 5 minutes, I was hooked, wondering if Laurey would choose Jud or Curly, if Ado Annie would choose Ali Hakim or Will, or if Curly would choose Laurey or Gertie! I think Gordon McRae did an an awesome job portraying Curly, and I strongly believe that probably no one in this world could play the part of Curly with all of the energy and enthusiasm Gordon McRae had. Shirley Jones, for being only 19 in this film, did a beautiful job playing Laurey. She sang like a bird, performed the part wonderfully, and really became the character. Strong performances by Rod Steiger, Gloria Grahame, Eddie Albert, Charlotte Greenwood, and Gene Nelson also added life and enthusiasm to the film. This superb cast made Oklahoma! one of the best movies of all time, in my opinion. With the wonderful choreography, great cast, and terrific direction of Rodgers and Hammerstein, this movie is a definite 10!
