CGiii Comment

Oklahoma stinks!

Admittedly, there are a few good tunes and it is as camp as spray-painted udders.

But...the choreography is frightening, the story would induce shell-shock ...and, Shirley Jones is a complete, high-maintenance cow.

Oh...and it is 50 minutes too long...and that dream sequence, what a horror.
