      Ronald B. Rogers Village Voice A visit to your local theatre will convince you that Oklahoma! is a fresh and lively as ever. May 10, 2022 Full Review TIME Magazine In spite of its age and the fact that its 145-minute mass is sometimes dragging, Oklahoma! hollers itself home as a handsome piece of entertainment. Oct 27, 2015 Full Review Variety Staff Variety The wide screen used for the Todd-AO process adds production scope and visual grandeur, capturing a vista of blue sky and green prairie that can be breathtaking. Nov 1, 2007 Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy The soundtrack is exceptional, and Gloria Grahame swipes a few scenes as Ado Annie, the girl who just “cain’t say no.” Rated: 3.5/4 Mar 2, 2024 Full Review Grant Watson Fiction Machine This film is bright, bold, and enthusiastic. It is the 1955 equivalent of a studio blockbuster: big-screen entertainment for the masses.

      Jose G Classic 50's film musical based on the 40's stage musical, the first written by Rodgers & Hammerstein. Shirley Jones shines in her first role in a motion picture, and the song and dance numbers still hold up fantastically-save for a couple that could've probably been omitted to shorten the run time. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/30/23 Full Review Joel B It was a weird film, just weird... One of the songs is just trying to convince the main villain to commit suicide... It hasn't aged well. I am not gonna watch it again. Some of the other songs and special affects are nice but the plot is just strange... Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 11/27/23 Full Review David F Beautiful scenery, and a lot of singing and dancing make for a great show, but the plot about a bickering pair that you know is going to be married by the time you see "The End" was pretty limp. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 08/28/23 Full Review Joshua H A musical with classic songs that have aged well, while being an incredibly important for musical's as an genre and a simple well told story that is a really good watch. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review robert p Giving a sanatized look at life in the old west thats all hunky dory but life just wasn't like this, for example no toilet paper! For that reason alone I give Oklahoma a four star rating. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member This classic Broadway musical was alright. Gordon MacRae, Shirley Jones, Gene Nelson, Rod Steiger, Gloria Grahame, Charlotte Greenwood, and the rest of the cast did a decent job in this musical. The story of the movie was dramatic, tedious, and goofy. If you're into musicals, you'd probably enjoy this movie, but if you're not don't waste your time watching it. That's my opinion. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
