5.0 out of 5 stars Ill go home with beautiful Jean, 15 Dec 2005
By bernie "xyzzy" (Arlington, Texas) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)      
This review is from: Brigadoon [DVD] [1954] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC] (DVD)
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.

2.0 out of 5 stars dated but pleasant enough, 11 Jan 2008
This review is from: Brigadoon [DVD] [1954] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC] (DVD)
this is quite well done although rather dated these days.
gene kelly is far too old, and charisse just looks smug all the time which I found a little irritating. several of the best songs are missing - both of Meg's (who is reduced to a few lines of dialogue in one scene with Jeff) and one of Charlie's, although we at least get the latter as an added extra feature. the gaps are filled with extra instrumental breaks (cue charisse and Kelly dancing) and reprises, particularly of the heather on the hill. Personally I woud have rather had the missing songs and less of this, as the result is continously and excessively sentimental.
having said that, it's not at all bad and would pass a pleaanant sunday afternoon, good value given the prce too.
