They Shot a Classic Western, Then Started Over and Shot It Again
The 1955 musical, Oklahoma!, is a bit more complex than we thought.
Musical movies have always been divisive; just look at 2024's Mean Girls re-adaptation. But 1955's screen version of Oklahoma! has stood the test of time for generations, and it's not hard to see why: its classic Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein songs are the definition of "earworms," and the cast is filled with superbly talented stars of the era. The story itself is optimistic and comforting, and as a whole, it's truly a musical masterpiece that nearly everyone has seen. However, not everyone has seen the same version.
