A blast from the past

Saw the movie-musical "Oklahoma" tonight for the first time in...oh, a couple decades, at least. I didn't remember, for instance, that Eddie Albert is in it as the fast-talking womanizing peddlar---and I don't think I've ever seen him so young! Seeing Shirley Jones (more than a decade before she was Mama Partridge was a bit jarring. And I'd completely forgotten about that lengthy, drug-induced dream sequence in the middle.

I knew more of the songs than I expected I would, although I hadn't realized that it's the source of "People Will Say We're in Love". (My prior fandom predilictions have that imutably cross-referenced to "The Silence of the Lambs". Yeah....)
