Seven Brides For Seven Brothers

Starring: Howard Keel, Jane Powell, Russ Tamblyn, et al.

Things are different for the Pontipee men now that big brother Adam's fetched a bride and brought her to their cabin. Indeed, the unwed brothers are so inspired they raid the town and carry off brides of their own! Like a favorite flannel shirt, everything fits right in this rugged whoop-for-joy directed by Stanley Donen, choreographed by Michael Kidd and featuring an exhilarating Gene dePaul/Johnny Mercer score that won an Academy Award *. Jane Powell and Howard Keel star, supported by a cast of buckskinned dancers and petticoated danseuses. And what steppin'! The barnraising sequence alone -- backflipping, plank-leaping athleticism -- leaves a daylong smile. "Bless Yore Beautiful Hide," all you brides and brothers!

Customer Reviews

Fun movie!

Its true Hollywood stageplay, very much like going to a Broadway play which many musicals of that era were, mostly all filmed on a sound stage but its a nice classic romance where the unexpected (& kidnapped!) Bride falls in love with the groom & he with her when he really just wanted a workhorse wife to do the chores & cook for him & his 6 brothers. Of course, their cabin on the mountain is a mess & they have no manners but work hard. She gets them all in line...its funny with great singing & dancing. Just a fun movie everyone can watch.
