Well, bless my beautiful hide! Director Stanley Donen invests this rollicking musical with a hearty exuberance. Howard Keel, with his big-as-all-outdoors baritone, stars as a bold "mountain man" living in the Oregon woods who brings home a bride (plucky songbird soprano Jane Powell) to his six slovenly brothers. Taming the rambunctious brood, Jane proceeds to make gentlemen of them so they can woo sweethearts of their own. But old habits die hard: their flirting gives way to fighting in the film's celebrated barn-raising scene, a lively acrobatic dance number exuberantly choreographed by Michael Kidd. Big brother chimes in with his own brand of advice--an old-fashioned kidnapping! Donen manages to get away with such a politically incorrect plot by investing the boys with a innocent sweetness, most notably the youngest brother played with genial earnestness by Rusty (Russ) Tamblyn (pre-West Side Story). This modest production became a huge hit and remains one of MGM's best-loved musical comedies, an energetic, high-kicking classic. --Sean Axmaker |

I grew up watching this movie, and when my vhs tape finally became unplayable, I was upset. Finding it on dvd with all the extras and at such a great price, I couldn't turn away. Great movie that everyone should watch! |

7 Brides for 7 Brothers |

This is one of my most favorite movie of all. I first saw this movie when I was a young girl so it was just the most romantic movie in the world. Men going after the women of their dreams and then of course having to be chast till wed, held true by the most romantic couple of all the newlyweds and then the exciting chase to preserve their women's reputaion, the fathers and brothers and betroths, from down the mountain and the girls falling in love with their captors and holding fast for them. True love always wins out in the end. This was the first musical movie that I shared with my daughter when she was about 11 years old and her reaction was just the same as mine. All the beautiful music, dancing, love and fighting for the girl of your heart. Like I said, True Love is so beautiful and happy!!! |

I had always seen only bits and pieces of the movie and had loved what I had seen. So it is really nice now to be able to see the whole movie - and I love it. A classic. |
