Oklahoma! is a fantastic film, and one of the two criticisms I have is that I didn't like the way "I can't say No!" was sung. Still the whole film looks gorgeous, and Fred Zimmerman does more than a respectable job directing if rather dry in places and sadly he messes up the title song.

Feb 5, 2024 · This film is bright, bold, and enthusiastic. It is the 1955 equivalent of a studio blockbuster: big-screen entertainment for the masses. It is also a groundbreaking movie musical. No new songs were added to the film, and more importantly only two were excised in the translation from stage to screen.
