There is one female character, the one who sings, "I'm just a gal who can't say no/I'm in a terrible fix...." who in the original screenplay is, it seems, stupidly promiscuous. She blunders from one male to the next and her father is always following her around with a rifle, trying to force someone to marry her before she gets pregnant or as soon as.
That's what I recall. I found the libretto, on recent viewing of the musical, really outdated. The dancing was fantastic.
Also, I remember wondering if rural America was being ridiculed throughout. Was the audience supposed to feel superior?
