We watched Oklahoma on vacation, and I forgot how utterly ludicrous the ending is.
Curly: "Oh yeah, I just killed that dude -- let's go on our honeymoon and have lots of sex!"
Official Dude: "Well, Curly, I have to arrest you."
Curly: "But it's my HONEYMOON! Just LOOK at that fine piece of ass!"
Official Dude: "Okay, Curly, tell me -- did you MEAN to kill Jud?"
Curly: "Um...self-defense! Yeah, that's it! Now can I go have sex with Laurie?"
Official Dude: "Well, that breaks about 10 different laws, but...."
Aunt Eller: "Seriously, Official Dude, I will beat you down if you don't let them go."
Official Dude: "Have a nice honeymoon! Get some for me!"
WTF, man?!? Plus the whole part where Curly killed Jud and is in NO WAY traumatized by the fact and is all hot to trot for the honeymoon sex.

Got to love the Shiny! Happy! midcentury musicals.
Although Rogers and Hammerstein did go on to do much darker musicals--"Carousel" and "South Pacific," especially.

Traditional family values, kid. What are you, a commie?

What? You are not going to share? That's just mean.
