    • Quotes

      Mason: You don't like men much, do you?

      Lena: No.

      Mason: Maybe you're the kind who prefers women.

      Lena: No. Women are even worse; they try to be like men, but they can't cut it. I'd like to be a member of a third sex.

      Mason: Third sex? Mmm-hmmm. Well, which article would you have - the one that goes in, or the one that goes out?

      Lena: Both.

      Mason: Well, which one would you favor?

      Lena: Both. If I had both sex organs, I could just screw myself, couldn't I? Well, couldn't I?

      [Mason gets up to leave the shack]

      Lena: Aren't you going to finish your soup?

    There's a bright golden WHAT?
    For some bizarre reason, this excellent comedy drama was not released where I live in in Australia in 1975. As a drama with an interesting cast and spectacular visuals OKLAHOMA CRUDE is definitely an improved taste, rather like Mc Cabe and Mrs Miller or even Paint Your Wagon. Muddy Wild West and very grubby even sexually, this essentially three hander is essentially a sex farce with oil power play interwoven. Kramer films are always interesting, even if failures and for some reason beyond me, this film was not as gusher. The scene where Scott literally pees in Palance' pocket is genuinely funny, as is the hilarious scene where Dunaway explains her 'self reliance' sexually. This film deserves a re appraisal and a new audience.
