Gordon McRea as Star AND Producer??

I was just watching the video clip of the opening where McRae is singing "Oh What A Beautiful Mornin'" over the opening credits, and what did I see? McRae is also listed as a producer of the film!! Was this accurate, or am I seeing things?

You're seeing things! I have watched Oklahoma dozens of times in both its Todd-AO and CinemaScope versions. Arthur Hornblow, Jr., is clearly listed as producer in both editions while Gordon MacRae is listed only as the star. BTW, MacRae sings "Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin'" after the opening credits.
