A Classic Musical

February 19th, 2009

Tuesday night, I discovered Seven Brides for Seven Brothers playing on TCM. It was close to the beginning, and I found that I had to watch the thing all the way to the end. It’s just that good.

In this sequence, the Pontipee brothers have come to town to participate in a barn raising. They meet 6 lovely girls, and get the opportunity to test out the manners taught to them by Milly, their new sister-in-law.

It really picks up around the 2:38 mark, and again at around 4:20.

Apparently, this is dubbed and subtitled in Italian. It’s the only one I could find of this particular sequence, but it doesn’t matter, because this number is all dancing, no singing.

This is a movie I really need to add to my DVD collection.
