Review of Seven Brides for Seven Brothers (1954) by Hannah B — 29 Oct 2009
Brilliant, with two amazing leads of Keel and Powell singing some great songs. Its a western, romantic, comedic musical; Phew!, it has it all.
Centred around a very 'down to earth' man who gets himself a bride in one day in the nearby town which is awkard and his new bride must now find his six other brothers wives and neaten them up with lighthearted and funny outcomes.
A very feel good musical and with wounderful choreography from the archaic male characters. However Powell and the other femal characters are not left out of the liemlight with some beautiful scenes of singing and sincere moments.
Obviously from teh title it is romantic, which it delivers with tender and loving characters and scenes and it still does'nt forget its roots of a hardbuckling western full of punch!
This film should put a smile on anyones face, and its great to see a musical set in a different light and backdrop that really works.
