Metro–Goldwyn–Mayer (via their acquisition of the holdings of The Samuel Goldwyn Company) owns the theatrical and television rights to Oklahoma!, South Pacific, and Flower Drum Song. (Universal Pictures, the film's original distributor, owns only the video rights and the film's copyright), while owning full rights to the 1965 television version of Cinderella.
