"Oklahoma!" reviewed at MGM
studios, Culver City, Ca, 16.08.1955

Written by:
Hollywood Reporter, Published 10.10.1955 |
Issue 42 - December 1995 |
The all-time champ stage musical "Oklahoma!" is likewise
a motion picture blockbuster. Coupled with the new Todd-AO
process, a two-to-one gigantic screen dimension of Cinerama-like effect,
and a new terrific six-track sound system, the Dick Rodgers - Oscar
Hammerstein 2d classic piece of America will undoubtedly be a financial
mopup at roadshow prices and an entertainment treat for many years to come.
The strenghts of the vehicle in this case actually overrides the process,
since "Oklahoma!" unfortunately does not furnish the best
audience - participation type of material for a showy Todd-AO debut. Also,
the finished picture evidences in number of instances some photographic
"bugs" inherent with any brand new camera and lens. But despite
the blurriness of the photography in a few spots, and despite the fact that
there are even fewer instances of the systems promised feeling of depth,
this production is a milestone in what will unquestionably be a much used,
and possibly much abused, film art form. The bug-eye lens, mammoth screen
and incredibly superb sound presage a new era in picture making on huge
canvasses. Not counting all the coin that went into developing Mike Todd's
Todd-AO system, "Oklahoma!" cost around $ 6.000.000. With
the financing of the system, the Magna
Corp. has around $ 11.000.000 total in this initial film, but it now
looks like a small investment in comparison to the likely huge return
"Okla." will bring.
