Description:
Cowboy Curly McClain tries to win the heart of a girl in a singing and dancing extravaganza.
Experience the timeless magic of the Golden Age of musicals with "Rodgers & Hammerstein's Oklahoma - 25th Anniversary" on DVD, presented by SAMUEL GOLDWYN FILMS. This special anniversary edition celebrates one of the most influential stage musicals of all time, brought to life on film with sweeping outdoor vistas, exuberant choreography and a score that reshaped musical theatre. Iconic songs such as "Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin'," "The Surrey with the Fringe on Top" and the rousing title song "Oklahoma!" unfold in rich cinematic style, capturing the optimism, romance and frontier spirit of early 20th-century Americana. The DVD format offers a convenient, durable way to enjoy the film at home, with crisp image and sound that highlight both the lush orchestration and the nuanced performances.
The story centers on the spirited farm girl Laurey and the earnest cowboy Curly, whose hesitant courtship plays out against a backdrop of rival suitors, neighborly feuds and the dawning of a new era on the American prairie. Blending heartfelt romance, gentle humor and moments of genuine tension, the film retains the innovative structure that made the original stage production so groundbreaking: songs and dances are woven directly into the drama, advancing character and plot rather than merely decorating them. The celebrated dream ballet, choreographed in the classic style that made "Oklahoma!" famous, remains a highlight, offering a psychological, almost surreal exploration of Laurey's inner conflicts. This 25th-anniversary presentation invites both longtime fans and newcomers to rediscover why the story's themes of community, hope and change continue to resonate.
SAMUEL GOLDWYN FILMS stands in the tradition of the legendary Goldwyn name, associated for decades with quality filmmaking and a commitment to classic storytelling. As an independent distributor and producer, the company is known for carefully curated titles that balance artistic merit with audience appeal, spanning prestige dramas, acclaimed international films and notable catalogue releases. By presenting a cornerstone musical like "Oklahoma!" in a dedicated anniversary edition, SAMUEL GOLDWYN FILMS underscores its role as a steward of cinema heritage, helping to preserve and reintroduce landmark works to new generations of viewers.
At the creative heart of this film are Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II, one of the most celebrated songwriting teams in entertainment history. Individually successful before they joined forces, they transformed the musical with a run of extraordinary hits. Their collaborations include "Carousel," "South Pacific," "The King and I" and "The Sound of Music," all of which achieved enormous success on stage and screen and helped define the modern musical. Rodgers' gift for memorable, emotionally direct melody and Hammerstein's sophisticated yet accessible lyrics created songs that became standards far beyond the theatre. The film also showcases performers and production artists shaped by the classic Hollywood studio system, where singers, actors, choreographers and designers combined craft and charisma to bring the wide-open landscapes and close-knit communities of "Oklahoma!" vividly to life. Together, these talents helped make "Oklahoma!" a benchmark of musical storytelling whose influence can still be felt in film and theatre today.
