When two Americans, Tommy Albright (Kelly) and Jeff Douglas (Johnson), happen upon the innocent and magical town nestled in the Scottish Highlands, Tommy falls in love with Brigadoon's Fiona Campbell (Charisse). But this wondrous town appears only one day every 100 years--never long enough to be corrupted by the outside world--and Tommy can only stay with Fiona if loves her enough to forever leave the life he knows. Review: One of my favorite movies - When I first rented BRIGADOON from the public library last spring, I immediately fell in love with it. Just added the DVD to my collection yesterday. It is one of the most beautiful films I have ever seen. It is a 1954 film adaptation of the 1947 Broadway musical. The Lerner and Loewe score is one of the greatest ever written for the stage (or screen). The great cast includes Gene Kelly, Van Johnson, and Cyd Charisse. Although certainly not the greatest singers in the world, Kelly's and Johnson's singing is more than adequate and is really quite lovely. Charisse's singing voice is dubbed for this film, and she works great as well. When Brigadoon made the transition from Broadway to Hollywood, a good chunk of its score was dispensed with in order to make room to highlight the dancing abilities of its stars. This is, in fact, where many people find fault with this film; the lack of the rest of the Broadway score. To these people, I have this to say... ---This movie is not the Broadway play. It is a **film adaptation.**--- This is also the common complaint about MGM's "Show Boat" from 3 years earlier. Another common complaint about "Brigadoon" is that it was obviously shot in soundstages on the MGM lot in Culver City instead of the highlands of Scotland. This was due to the fact that producers were working with smaller budgets than they had been just 3 or 4 years earlier. This, coupled with the unpredictable weather in the British Isles, necesitated that the film be shot at the studio. This is also evident in "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers" from the same year. Although the sets are obviously painted backdrops, they are nicely done and work well. IMO, they do not demerit the film. Brigadoon more than makes up for the missing songs by adding some spectacular dance numbers. "Heather on the Hill" is one of the most sweeping dance numbers I have ever seen in any film. Kelly's and Charisse's gracefulness really hits the spot. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND the DVD, with its lush color, clear picture, and stereo sound. If you haven't seen "Brigadoon," you should see it. At the very least for some of the greatest dance numbers you will ever see. Review: A nice early Lerner & Loewe musical adaptation in HD. Great songs and choreography and in vivid Metrocolor and Cinemascope. - This is a beautiful, tuneful, if imperfect rendering of the Broadway musical. The music by Frederick Loewe and book and lyrics by Alan J. Lerner (My Fair Lady and Camelot) is lovely, but with omissions in the film from the original theatrical play for time considerations and for ribald content. The As it is the best songs are in place: "Almost Like Being In Love," "I'll Go Home with Bonny Jean," "Waitin' for My Dearie," and of course the haunting "Brigadoon" theme sung by the chorus. I would love to see a new version of the entire play. Nevertheless, despite its imperfections, the overall qualities of the movie are well worth it. Gene Kelly isn't the best singer, but does a nice job in his songs. It is a fantasy story about a town cursed by the preacher for allowing witches (!). So, when the townspeople wake up the next day, 100 years has passed! It's a nice plot, beautifully performed, great Gene Kelly dance sequences, and is directed by Vincente Minnelli. The HD video version that I purchased is an improvement over the DVD, but is not as sharp and detailed as I would have liked. Perhaps the Blu ray is better. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Contributor | Alan Jay Lerner, Albert Sharpe, Arthur Freed, Barry Jones, Cyd Charisse, Dee Turnell, Dody Heath, Eddie Quillan, Elaine Stewart, Frederick Loewe, Gene Kelly, Hugh Laing, Jimmy Thompson, Owen McGiveney, Tudor Owen, Van Johnson, Vincente Minnelli, Virginia Bosler Contributor Alan Jay Lerner, Albert Sharpe, Arthur Freed, Barry Jones, Cyd Charisse, Dee Turnell, Dody Heath, Eddie Quillan, Elaine Stewart, Frederick Loewe, Gene Kelly, Hugh Laing, Jimmy Thompson, Owen McGiveney, Tudor Owen, Van Johnson, Vincente Minnelli, Virginia Bosler See more | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 4,927 Reviews | | Format | NTSC, Subtitled | | Genre | Drama/Love & Romance, Musicals & Performing Arts/Musicals | | Initial release date | 2005-03-15 | | Language | English, German, Spanish | ## Product Details - **Format:** NTSC, Subtitled - **Genre:** Drama/Love & Romance, Musicals & Performing Arts/Musicals - **Initial release date:** 2005-03-15 - **Language:** English, German, Spanish ## Images ![Brigadoon (DVD) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51gje4VWUrL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ One of my favorite movies *by P***E on December 31, 2002* When I first rented BRIGADOON from the public library last spring, I immediately fell in love with it.
