It IS the most beautiful love duet.

[@willisbcteoh9840]

"Till there was you" was not too shabby 😊

[@homemadecandy]

My favorite part: when Curly sings "Don't take my arm to much Don't keep your hand in mine" and she tries to pull her hand away and he won't let go, and I don't think his voice could be any more beautiful but then he sings "Your hand feels so grand in mine". So perfectly sublime. His voice and the way he looks at her hand is enough to make any heart melt. This song never gets old for me. No one will ever sing this like Gordon MacRae and Shirley Jones.

I think Shirley was only 18 when she made this film. What maturity, beauty and such a voice. Gordon MacRae has one of the best voices ever - so glorious, warm and impressive! And what a handsome man. Beautiful couple!

[@jasont7814]

I think Shirley was 21 and Gordon was 34 (if my math is correct) A bit of an age difference for sure.

[@celissewillis9399]

Apparently she even admitted in an interview back in the day that she had a bit of a crush on him, lol... then they got matched again in Carousel! So those looks on her face of admiration & day dreaming are definitely genuine, lol. So cute! Imagine having a crush on a fellow actor, then you're placed in a movie opposite of him that has a love story involved between you two... I really can't think of anything more romantic, than being able to sing with someone that you're in your feels about, even as a crush!

[@mandycat45]

Gordon MacRae -- those looks, that charm, that VOICE -- what a gorgeous hunk of guy. This was an all around wonderful movie but he was the heart of it all.

[@ivelosthewilltolive]

Oscar Hammerstein said, you can't have characters sing "I love you" in the first act of a musical because the audience isn't ready to hear that yet. So they have to approach it indirectly, like People WILL SAY we're in love, or IF I loved you, or We could make believe I loved you.

Cogent point.

My girlfriend and I kept our relationship a secret for awhile when we first got together, it was a constant struggle not to be all cutesy and people constantly commented on how we looked at each other. I heard this on the radio and showed it to her, and we laughed at how accurate it was at every line, decided this was our song, and now we quote it whenever we gotta say goodbye.

Richard Rogers said that it was easier for him to write a song than to tie his shoes. This song is pure rapture. The lyrics are equally marvelous.. At age 65 in 2013, I listen sadly to this music as if it is a museum piece reflecting a world of rapture and romance that no longer exists. The new generation does not even begin to know what they are missing. This song says everything worth saying about life and if we would accept it as reality greater than the one we live in, we would be joyful

This is the best version of this many-covered song, from the best version of Oklahoma! The beauty of Shirley's well-trained coloratura soprano shines throughout and Gordon's strong baritone is a perfect complement, as it proved to be with many talented partners, from the relatively brittle voice of Doris Day to the perfect pitch of Jo Stafford.

It's just the passing of time but I imagine you mean Oklahoma! Carousel and The Music Man. Some of us still remember and I'd never argue with you over those three movies. Shirley had such a beautiful voice and as for Gordon MacRae, I think he was Hollywood's finest male actor/singer ever, but rock n' roll and TV killed all their movie careers.

It's true from what I've been reading. Phillip one time even put on western style clothing, it might have been on a visit to rural Canada but I could be wrong.

[@Journeyman-Fixit]

I put ear buds on and had an out of body experience listening to this - unbelievable. More please!

[@gossamerwings3632]

Journeyman I know I did the same and it was a mind blowing experience, however I try not to use earbuds or headphones as I don't want to lose my hearing as I could listen for hours!!!

[@Journeyman-Fixit]

gossamerwings Yes, hard not to pay attention to Rodgers and Hammerstein. (Seems like they didn't make enough of it IMO).

[@mikecastricone2222]

This a time when love was king and people were not so obsessed with sex And this is what is wrong today.

[@davidbatterson4634]

R&H's other similar song is "If I Loved You" from Carousel. Also a classic.

[@jumperstartful]

So many times I wish I had a girl to sing this to.

[@brianmolloy9865]

Beautiful singing and a wonderful song. Perfection.

[@granmut]

Our Queen and Prince Philip's "Our Song" R.I.P. to both of them, may they dance to it forever XXX

[@Melissa-tw2gp]

My parents and I used to watch all these old musicals back to back when I was a kid. Our heat and air would break on the top floor of our old house, so we’d move our beds downstairs into the living room side-bye-side and watch all the taped VHS’s of Oklahoma, West Side Story, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, South Pacific, etc... until we got enough money together to fix the furnace. Fond memories, still know all the words.

Gordon had a velvet voice. Pure gift from God like Robert Goulet, Perry Como, Andy Williams, Nat King Cole & others.

[@annetteelliott1494]

I just never get enough of this music.....

[@jumperstartful]

I keep coming back for more.

[@martel732]

Best duet in a musical ever!

[@danielshumway7046]

Top 10 all time romantic duets from the best musicals. And Shirley Jones/Gordon Mccrae were never topped.

[@jackiemcmeekin6551]

What great singers. And what a great movie. I saw a redo of the play, Oklahoma, in the 70’s in Philadelphia. It was wonderful.

[@catcrazy336]

This is a complicated song made legend by such talent of McRae and Jones.

[@kayregulski6828]

One of the top 10 musicals of all time

[@edwardguzman7545]

I wish I was Curly and my wife was Laurey and we were in Oklahoma 150 years ago. this was the first movie I seen in 1959 that was in color. when i was in first grade in the school auditorium in the Bronx. and ever since then almost every day of my life i sing ''oh what a beautiful morning''

[@TheCatMurgatroyd]

I'm not sure if she would like to be in oklahoma 150 years ago

[@DivineSimply]

You might want to rethink that. Lol. No dental floss or antibiotics.

[@TheCatMurgatroyd]

DivineSimply also being treated like shit

[@edwardguzman7545]

I was referring to the love, romance and passion between them. Those days were a lot more peaceful than our complicated and crazy world. From childhood all men have to be taught to respect all women, as my mother did with myself. I work 7 days a week. When I get home, I mop. sweep, do the dish's, take out the trash and do my laundry. I help my wife a lot. My mother taught me that not all women are alike. So please don't think all men are alike.

[@TheCatMurgatroyd]

Edward Guzman noone said that... still, I wouldn't have wanted to be born 150 years ago... I like to wear pants also the romance and passion was the same... how could that change? people are just more open if they don't like something... people don't have to stay married if they don't want to and maybe less people might care what the neighbors are thinking there would be no difference between 150 years ago and today, except that your wife would have not as many rights and now there's computers and stuff

[@windstorm1000]

Gordon Mc.--most handsome man out of Hollywood. What a dream boat.

[@grievousangelic]

My mother had the original movie soundtrack album. I don't ever remember not hearing it. Oklahoma and South Pacific are my favorite R&H musicals.

[@monicad.2269]

Awwwww, this is SUCH an adorable yet romantic song!
