Buy This Item Oklahoma! (50th Anniversary Edition) by 20th Century Fox  Available from Amazon  $13.99  on 11-15-2008     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." Reader Reviews This has to be the best Rodgers and Hammerstein musical after "The Sound of Music"! I love the opening scene where Gordon MacRae comes riding in on his horse in the middle of the huge corn field singing "Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin'..." It has some fabulous songs! I think that is my favorite part! The main point is these two men, Curly (Gordon MacRae), the handsome cowboy, and Judd, the hired hand both love Laurey Williams (Shirley Jones). Both of them ask her to the dance, but she chooses Judd just to make Curly jealous. But she soon realizes she loves Curly! The other reviews I was reading said how horrible this 50th. Anniversary DVD was, but my sister and I bought this for my Mom for her birthday and it played fine in the DVD player and on our laptop.
