Out of all the DVD's that i own, this is my all time favorite. Everthing is perfect! The picture quality is awsome, the 5.1 channel stereo sound is better than most theatres. The overture, the intermission, the entra'ce, the exit music,,,,all there from the Roadshow presentation.Of course for some reason my favorite character is Aunt Eller (Charlotte Greenwood) I've always loved her. She's always been one of those great supporting actresses that is so awsome in structor to whatever movie/stage show she was ever in. Great talent and great talent to everyone in this movie version. I believe a remake would be impossible in todays world and the newest Broadway version has comfirmed that. It just lacks soul. Sometimes you should just leave the classics alone. Don't try to improve on them because you can't and in this film you could never muster up a cast like this one. It's a perfect movie musical.

This is a stunning production,but be sure to get hold of the Todd-AO version,with it's glorious theatrical style presentation,and better visual and sound quality.The film was shot twice,once in the standard ratio,and again in the widescreen ratio. The latter is of course the Todd-AO version and the superior of the two,though it is seldom seen,and the standard ratio version is always used on television broadcasts. Laurie's dream ballet is the major highlight in the film,with Bambi Linn as the 'Dream Laurie'. The music is breathtaking,and everything is simply gorgeous. Gloria Grahame makes the perfect Ado-Annie Carnes and she sings a very good 'I Cain't Say No'. Overall,this film is a true treat for Rodgers and Hammerstein fans. Highly recommended.
Rating: - A few random thoughts on the DVD version
I found the THX laserdisc to be a superior picture to the DVD, which has a bit too much "shimmer" to it. I believe the color shifting WAS on the laserdisc, though. As a side note for SOUTH PACIFIC fans, the DVD of that film is much better than the THX laser, which had far too much color bleeding.As someone interested in film history I'd like to see a special edition that includes both the TODD-AO and the Cinemascope versions of OKLAHOMA. A comparison of cinematography and performances would be fascinating. The musical does show its age in its sparse plot, but the music, and particularly the ballet sequence, make it still worth watching, as well as some of the performances. Charlotte Greenwood still sparks the screen as Aunt Eller, and Graham has some fun moments, too.
