Ill go home with beautiful Jean, 20 Oct 2005
In mid-18 th century, Highlands of Scotland, Rev. Mr. Forsythe decided that they village of Brigadoon was being unduly influences by witches and the outside world to he asked for a miracle that was granted and The village only appears one day once every hundred years.
It just so happens that on this very day two hunters from New York were lost in the Highlands Tommy Albright (Gene Kelly) and Jeff Douglas (Van Johnson). There Tommy meets and falls in love with a girl (Cyd Charisse), but does she really exist?
Things get a bit complicated and Tommy has a lot to think about while Jeff under the influence of alcohol may have shot more than a bird.
Ones man's miracle can be another man's curse.
An often overlooked musical, the music and songs of Lerner and Loewe, which is a product of its time. This movie does not pretend to be anything but a movie version of the stage production directed by Vincente Minnelli, with Jan Johnson and Gene Kelly at their best. I have seen several liver productions and this is one of those rare occasions in which the movie is superior. A must for any collection.

A good old fashioned love story!, 30 Jun 2007
I used to watch this film as a child and loved the story, costumes, songs and dancing. And now I'm older I still love it!
A love story between a guy and a gal - separated by more than just continents. A shooting expedition in the mist leads to the discovery of a village in the Scottish Highlands where the villagers are somewhat old-fashioned.......
Just magical! Suspend your disbelief and watch this film, it will make you smile!
