Author Topic: What is an okie? Bruce McGee Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1776 From: Asheville, NC USA... Nowhere in Particular. Registered: Aug 1999 posted 05-22-2001 08:56 AM                     I hated finding out that after all those years of watching the film "Oklahoma!" flat, cinemascope, and twice in 70mm Todd-AO, I was watching something that was actually filmed in Arizona! What a let-down. I-40 runs so close to my home here in western North Carolina, that I can hear the trucks as they gear down to avoid the speed trap as the highway goes onto the Biltmore Estate. But not with the windows closed! A few years ago, I saw a nice travel film of Oklahoma and thought that it is a beautiful place. But, would I want to live there?  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan."
