Seven Brides for Seven Brothers (22-Jul-1954)
Director: Stanley Donen Writers: Albert Hackett; Frances Goodrich; Dorothy Kingsley From story: The Sobbin' Women by Stephen Vincent Benét Producer: Jack Cummings Keywords: Musical, Wedding Adam, eldest of the Pontipee Brothers, brings his bride Milly back to the family cabin, where to her shock she finds six other unkempt, poor-mannered brothers. Rather than face life as "a cook, a washerwoman, a hired girl", Milly sets about improving the marriageability of the remaining 6. At the town picnic things look more promising, but townsmen chase the brothers back whence they came. Adam relates to his siblings his recent reading of Plutarch, The Rape of the Sabine Women; they hatch a plan to kidnap the necessary brides. Delightful musical with excellent dance numbers; received an Oscar for Best Score and four other nominations including Best Screenplay and Best Picture.
