SEVEN BRIDES FOR SEVEN BROTHERS
In this dazzling example of frame-filling CinemaScope mastery, frontierswoman Milly (Jane Powell) falls for backwoodsman Adam (Howard Keel), even if he still needs a little civilizing. But his six brothers really need work, as they decide to forgo courtship of local women and kidnap prospective brides instead. The film earned five Oscar® nominations, including a win for the Gene de Paul/Johnny Mercer score, but it is the vigorous dance numbers, choreographed by Michael Kidd, that give the picture great vitality, including the stunning barn-raising ballet dance sequences.
