The film heaves and sputters from one indifferently rendered number to the next.

My favourite is the odd cast singing 'The Farmer and the Cowman should be friends', a sentiment I have long believed in.

The film is so richly layered that multiple viewings become compulsive -- you think it's all there in front of you, but every time you revisit it, you notice something more, and finish with a desire to go back again.

A full-bodied Oklahoma! has been brought forth in this film to match in vitality, eloquence and melody any musical this reviewer has ever seen.
