Product Description: Well, bless my beautiful hide! Director Stanley Donen invests this rollicking musical with a hearty exuberance. Howard Keel, with his big-as-all-outdoors baritone, stars as a bold "mountain man" living in the Oregon woods who brings home a bride (plucky songbird soprano Jane Powell) to his six slovenly brothers. Taming the rambunctious brood, Jane proceeds to make gentlemen of them so they can woo sweethearts of their own. But old habits die hard: their flirting gives way to fighting in the film's celebrated barn-raising scene, a lively acrobatic dance number exuberantly choreographed by Michael Kidd. Big brother chimes in with his own brand of advice--an old-fashioned kidnapping! Donen manages to get away with such a politically incorrect plot by investing the boys with a innocent sweetness, most notably the youngest brother played with genial earnestness by Rusty (Russ) Tamblyn (pre-West Side Story). This modest production became a huge hit and remains one of MGM's best-loved musical comedies, an energetic, high-kicking classic. --Sean Axmaker

Classic Keeper
This musical is older than I am. I have had in my collection twice. This time it stays.
The story line holds up. The dance numbers are still being taught. The barn raising dance belongs in the history book. You'll find may gems in this one. After you see it once you'll hum "Bless You're Beautiful Hide."
Look hard and you'll recognize a featured player from "West Side Story."
Enjoy.

Seven Brides for Seven BrothersMy wife appreciated this DVD as a valued favourite addition to her library.

Wonderful, Wonderful Day
This has been a great musical for as long as I can remember! It's right up there with "Singin' In the Rain"! Every time my cousins and I are at our grandparents house we watch this movie at least once(usually more though). I guess it's tradition. And then we do the barn dance (we have seen it so many times we have it memorized - including my three year old brother). It's a fun and entertaining movie for the entire family!
Adam (Howard Keel) is a backwoodsmen living in Oregon with his six other brothers. They are all named alphabetically and are all Bible names (Adam, Benjamin, Caleb, Daniel, Ephraim, Frankincense (Frank) and Gideon). He meets Milly (Jane Powell) a feisty beauty he falls in love with and marries. He takes her to his home where she meets his six brothers (that she didn't know he had). She cooks and cleans for them and soon has them ready to "go courtin'" and find wives of their own.

Not only does this have two great singers, it has some fantastic choreography as well. Excellent supporting cast, and a delightful movie.
