Oklahoma!

One of the best-loved musicals from the writing duo of Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II, Oklahoma! follows the courtship between a cowboy named Curly (Gordon McRae) and a farm girl named Laurey (Shirley Jones, in her first screen role) in Oklahoma territory in 1906. Based on the 1931 play Green Grow the Lilacs, Oklahoma! not only tells a story about budding romance, but the tale of Oklahoma’s entry into statehood – and features many a classic show tune, as carried over by Rodgers and Hammerstein from their Broadway playbook (“Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin’,” “People Will Say We’re in Love,” and the title song, “Oklahoma!”). What’s more, Oklahoma! won two Academy Awards for Best Music and Score and was preserved by the Library of Congress as a culturally significant film.
