Description:
Set in the Oklahoma Territory in the early 1900's, this joyous celebration of frontier life is a story of tender romance and dangerous passion. Gordon MacRae is Curly, a sunny, good-natured ranch hand, and Shirley Jones is Laurey Williams, the farmer's daughter he loves. Rod Steiger is he menacing Jud, who tries to comes between them. The first Rodgers and Hammerstein collaboration, this Academy Award winner for Best Score features the classic songs 'Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin',' 'The Surrey With The Fringe On Top' and 'People Will Say We're In Love.'
Amazon.com:
The hit Broadway musical from the 1940s gets a lavish if not always exciting workout in this 1955 film version directed by old lion Fred Zinnemann (High Noon). Gordon MacRae brings his sterling voice to the role of cowboy Curly, and Shirley Jones plays Laurie, the object of his affection. The Rodgers and Hammerstein score includes 'The Surrey with the Fringe on Top,' 'Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin',' and 'People Will Say We're in Love,' and Agnes DeMille provides the buoyant choreography. Among the supporting cast, Gloria Grahame is memorable as Ado Annie, the 'girl who cain't say no,' and Rod Steiger overdoes it as the villainous Jud. --Tom Keogh

Rating:  - Not Usable
This video is not usable. There is a lot of static/background noise; the picture rolls vertically on a continual basis. We tried the video on more than one machine, We do not have this problem with any other videos in our collection. We would like a replacement or a refund.
Thank you....LJSumption
Rating:  - Is 2005 Anniversary edition better than the 1999 DVD?
I have compared the 2005 50th Anniversary Edition DVD to the 1999 digitally mastered DVD for both video and audio. Visually, the Cinemascope version (Disc 1 of 2) of the 2005 DVD yields the best picture (on wide zoom). Sonically, however, the 1999 DVD sounds better than the 2005 DVD as well as the 2001 remastered audio CD. The sound of the '99 DVD, which had been given THX sound processing, is much more open, bright, and dynamic with clear highs. The sound of the '05 DVD, which really doesn't sound too bad, comes across very slightly muffled, as if it had a layer of gauze placed over it, unfortunately deadening the highs and restricting the openness. So if it's the best picture you're looking for, get the 50th Anniversary DVD. If you want the best sound, get the '99 DVD.

The dvd is 3 hours of great music. Truly a classic movie. Worth the cost to have so it can be played many times.

My ALL TIME FAVORITE and a MUST see for any "musical" enthusiast. Good story and video and the best music around. Fun for the entire family.

Oklahoma! (50th Anniversary Edition) was very good! It looked as if it was filmed in a modern-day style. I loved it and highly recommend this product to everyone! "OKLAHOMA your O-K"
