Review of Oklahoma! (1955) by Kaloni J — 18 Oct 2012
Jones is as fresh as can be, Greenwood and Nelson are great fun, and Grahan is somewhat miscast, but does what she can. Great music well sung. The film tries to supply grand visuals with its widescreen, but Zinnemann in the 1950s is no David Lean in the 1960s or 70s.
Somewhat overlong compared to most musicals, the length is due to the attempt to remain faithful to the Braodway production. Simple, quaint, and fairly engaging.
