A double debut for the 1955 film version of Rodgers and Hammerstein's classic musical. Not only is it the first letterbox VHS transfer, but it's also the VHS debut of the alternate Todd-AO print. Oklahoma! was shot twice- once in 70mm Todd-A0 and again in standard 35mm CinemaScope. The CinemaScope version had been used for all VHS/Beta releases as well as TV, but in 1994, the Todd-AO version was recovered and released on laserdisc. That transfer, excellent for the time, was used for this VHS release. The 2 disc DVD and the Blu-Ray contains both versions, which makes for a neat comparison of the subtle differences between formats, staging and even acting. 1. 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment logo 2.
