[QUOTE="Crimson, post: 351563, member: 5079"] OKLAHOMA CRUDE (1973) [I]Way [/I]better than I expected. Mind you, my expectations for this one were rock bottom, but this turned out to be a surprisingly solid piece of entertainment. The story is slight: a Western AFRICAN QUEEN-style romance. I've never cared much for George C. Scott, to be honest, but he was gruff and charming and far less flinty than I think of him. Dunaway's late 60s/early 70s performances continue to surprise me. Those late 70s mannerisms that I so heavily associate with her are entirely absent here. This is a mostly unfussy, unmannered performance; she plays a woman who is strong and independent, but without that heavy-handed 70s feminism that began to creep into films.
