I watched Rodgers and Hammerstein's musical Oklahoma! (yes the exclamation point is part of the title) last night. Elijah, brave man, made it through almost half of it with me. I love that movie! The music is awesome, the lines are fantastic, and there's a singing cowboy (baritone . . . amazing) - Gordon MacRae. That man can SING. Or could, as it were. That was back when it was politically correct for the father of a young woman to say to a frisky young man:
"Shut your face or I'll fill your hide so full of buckshot, you'll be walking like a duck for the rest of your life."
I love it. Another of my favorites is,
"I don't say I'm no better than anybody else . . . but I'll be danged if I ain't just as good!"
Oh wow. I love musicals. I'm such a nerd. But I enjoy it.
Do you like musicals? What's your favorite movie?
