Your Challenger

I Cain't Say No

(Oklahoma!)

The Case for Thanksgiving, Addams Style (6):

Wednesday Addams (Christina Ricci) has had enough: Sent to camp against her will, forced to watch family friendly films for hours on end, and playing second fiddle to Amanda Buckman (Mercedes McNab) in the camp play.  Wednesday gets her revenge though, allying with the other camp rejects to take over the camp during the performance in this hilarious scene.

The Case for I Cain't Say No:

Sometimes, things just go wrong.  Take this song from the movie version of Oklahoma! - you have the Oscar nominated (for Crossfire and The Bad and the Beautiful) Gloria Grahame playing Ado Annie and original composers Rodgers and Hammerstein had unprecedented control of the film's production.  This should have been amazing.  Instead, the pair basically forced Grahame to stand in place - and you can see the actress visibly struggle to make the song interesting with minimal movement.  The performance now reads as a missed opportunity and a lesson in ignoring actorly instincts.
