At the close of the climactic scene where Curly wins the heroine at auction, rescuing her from a date with Jed, we're shown Jed's malice when he attempts to destroy Curly's purity by tricking him into seeing "something special" --which the audience knows to be "French pictures."
I did not pick up on that when I was 12.
I recall adoring Oklahoma at that age. Not so much now. I still love the songs & lyrics, but there are lots of long dance interludes where the dancing isn't at all interesting. Still, Gordon Macrae & Shirley Jones can sure sing. When American Idol finds a voice like either of those, it'll be worth something.
