ABOUT RODGERS & HAMMERSTEIN
After long and highly distinguished careers with other collaborators, Richard Rodgers (Composer, 1902-1979) and Oscar Hammerstein II (Librettist/Lyricist, 1895-1960) joined forces in 1943 to create the most successful partnership in American musical theater. Prior to joining forces, Rodgers collaborated with lyricist Lorenz Hart on musical comedies that epitomized wit and sophistication (Pal Joey, On Your Toes, Babes In Arms and more), while Hammerstein brought new life to operetta and created the classic Show Boat with Jerome Kern. Oklahoma!, the first Rodgers & Hammerstein musical, introduced an integrated form that became known as “the musical play.” Their shows that followed included Carousel, South Pacific, The King and I, and The Sound of Music. Collectively, the Rodgers & Hammerstein musicals have earned Tony, Oscar, Grammy, Emmy, Pulitzer, and Olivier Awards. The Rodgers & Hammerstein Organization is a Concord Company, www.concord.com.

I saw this movie when I was 16 years old. I had managed to get a date with a really beautiful girl, Anne, and that evening was one of the highlights of my teenage years. At the age of 18 I had to do two years in the RAF (National Service) and when I was demobbed she had found another guy. I am a man, 90 years of age now, and I have just watched this film again.....at the risk of being called "A Wuss" i freely admit that it brought back some fantastic memories, and I shed a couple of tears remembering those lovely days and the beautiful Anne.

[@Tadfafty]

There is nothing wrong with shedding tears.

[@emilygrinnell6186]

When I was a kid, musicals were still a thing, and I thought they were corny. People always busting out in song whenever. I thought MacRae was corny. But when I heard this song again about 10 years ago, MacRae's voice. I almost fell over. It's like honey, or butter. And he's not just singing. At the end, he's making love to her. Extraordinary. Exquisite.

[@jennifertarin4707]

Exactly. It isn't just singing, but telling a story

[@stephenbuza]

My parents bought musicals for us on those old laser disc players that you had to flip over halfway through. We watched them over and over and over, and we thought they were corny too; but there were only two snowy television stations in my tiny town in Maine, so if you wanted to see something, it was those musicals. My five siblings and I would sing those songs all through the house. When I was 19 and in college, I auditioned for Oklahoma! solely because it was the film my parents went to see together on their first date. It opened on my 20th birthday, and I though it would be a cool gift to them if I could land a role in the chorus, so they could come see me on my 20th birthday. I had no idea that all of those years of watching Oklahoma! meant I already knew the entire play. I quickly landed the role of Curly McLean, which began fifteen-year run playing leads in musical theater up through my mid thirties. And I'm pretty sure its entirely because my parents exposed me to musicals as a kid. I had a friend in college who said he didn't like musicals because nobody just stops what they are doing to break out in song. And then we grew up and had families--he had four girls--and we both found out that kids do, in fact, just break out in song randomly and that adults would be happier if they did the same. Now he does musicals with them in their community theater, and I love it.

You can tell a great actress by the way she reacts without saying a word. Shirley Jones made each man, woman and child know how she felt while being serenaded by the marvelous Gordon. Great direction but there was no need to film the dream surrey. The chemistry by the two leads enabled the viewer something more spectacular.

Me, I enjoy seeing the new stage props every show, especially the surrey with the fringe on the top...

[@fourthgirl]

Because Ted Turner owns the majority of the musicals everyone would like to see. Stingy won't release them unless on TCM.

[@GdpJapan]

I’ve been to the latest Matrix movie, alone. My wife and my daughter would not come with me (I get their point). Then, my daughter, Japanese and only Japanese speaker gets hook to this and wants me to sing it or play it when she is having a bath. What a beautiful nightmare! I’m a music freak. Actually I’m a pro, that’s what they say. I’m just someone else, but I co-wrote my first musical song a few months ago and premiered a couple of weeks ago. Both Osaka and Tokyo were fully booked, kinda 1000 people per session. Then I play this song again and I feel I’m no one. It is just too beautiful. And the performance is mindblowing. No wonder why my daughter’s addicted to it.

[@johnhungerford3814]

You would have to have a good plan. An old theater protected by the historical society and the patrons dress up in period costumes with prizes for best costume etc. could generate revenue selling food authentic to the period. Especially if it is in jars for later…

Gordon MacRae had such beautiful control over his voice at this time in his life and the way he 'acts' this song is flawless. How I wish he'd been offered more movies like this but he opted for TV and nightclubs instead when the musicals dried up. I found an interview recently when he was still making this picture where he said he was only interested in making one more film, he didn't name it but I think it was Carousel because that was the one he wanted. Much as I like Frank Sinatra, I'm glad he pulled out of the picture, leaving it for Gordon. The Soliloquy is just stunning from Carousel.

[@benjaminparkin9716]

I agree. He has great control. The performance hasn't aged as some have.

Most movies today are out of your head shortly after you see them. Movies like this, West Side Story, Fiddler on the Roof, Grease, Sound of Music, having you humming or singing tbe tunes for weeks. These bigger than life actors and actresses are just not around.

I agree. But why not The Greatest Showman? It’s a great modern musical movie

[@elaineteut1249]

@@manuelorozco7760 That was good too.

@@elaineteut1249 Thank you! I mean I’m a fan of Grease, West Side Story and TSOM as well. But I’m speaking from a different generation.

Great actors, if they are fortunate, can have long and varied careers , but there is something special about seeing them when they are young and on top of their game ,like a great pro athlete you see perform. Like this clip with Shirley Jones and Gordon MacRae.

I saw the film of OKLAHOMA! in 70 mm at Hollywood's Egyptian Theater in the mid-90s. Incredible visual and sound!

I was about 10 years old when I first saw Oklahoma live at Theatre Under the Stars in Stanley Park in Vancouver BC , enchanting. I also remember when I first saw the movie on TV as a young girl, winter time, Burnaby BC , sitting on living room floor eating home made fudge, mesmerized.
