Seven Brides For Seven Brothers (1954) - Seven Brides For Seven Brothers (1954) - Blu-ray

Things are different for the Pontipee men now that big brother Adams 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!
