This Rodgers and Hammerstein musical works better as a stage play, for the outdoorsiness of the film (clearly not Oklahoma, the state) dwarfs the supposed bigness of the music.
Shirley Jones is young and pretty but....well, that's about it. Some great tunes, but nothing else much going for it. A year or so ago I got a DVD package of the great old musicals for a great price, but have yet to watch them. This one will be interesting to see if it still ticks me off, or has it sunk even lower in my memory?
Anyway, the trailer:
