Oklahoma! (1955)

Will Parker and his nightdress The Rodgers and Hammerstein classic film, with great musical numbers, and a weepy romantic story.

Watching it nowadays, some of the direction has dated; particularly the static scenes (derived from the stage production), the minimal backgrounds, and the extended ballet interlude (also a carry over from stage productions).

The story is a tale of romance in a pioneering territory, and strong passions between good people, and the inevitable out-and-out villain (Judd Fry).

Will Parker has to raise $50 quickly, and is selling some of his treasured possessions, intended for Annie after his wedding, to the pedlar, Ali Hakim. Looking through the goods, Hakim holds up a fine nightgown to himself and says, "That's a cracker ... "

Parker snatches it from him and holds it up to himself and says, "Get your hands off of that ... that was for our wedding night."

Hakim quips, "It don't fit you so good."
