Howard Keel and Jane Powell are rapturous newlyweds who tame his six rowdy bachelor brothers in the wild Oregon backwoods in this Best Score Academy Award(R)-winning song-and-dance-filled comedy; Director: Stanley Donen, Actors: Howard Keel, Jane Powell.

Manly Adam and dainty but stubborn Milly find love in the Oregon Territory, prompting yearnings in Adam's six brothers for their own women. Milly teaches the brothers manners and introduces them to the town girls, but a fight with the local men inspires the brothers to stop wooing and start kidnapping. Stuck all winter by an avalanche with Milly and the seven brothers, the abducted girls' thoughts turn to weddings as spring approaches. Filled with lively dancing, comic songs, and the heartache of love, SEVEN BRIDES FOR SEVEN BROTHERS is a delightful and fun musical from director Stanley Donen.

In the Oregon Territory, mountain man Adam Pontipee (Howard Keel, acting and singing with gusto) comes to town to sell his crops and woo a woman to be his wife, succeeding with spirited Milly (Jane Powell), who is tired of feeding and waiting on so many men at the local inn. Her dreams of keeping house for just one man are shattered when she discovers that Adam shares his pigsty cabin with six brawling brothers. Milly's good cooking and stubborn nature whip the young men into shape and inspire them to seek women of their own. But after a disastrous barn raising during which the brothers snare the attention of the town girls only to be taunted into fighting with the town men, Adam suggests his brothers forget gentle methods of love and follow the actions of the Roman with the Sabine ("Sobbin'") women. The kidnapping of their six sweethearts spurs Milly to throw the men out of the house, but enforced proximity caused by winter and the brothers' good intentions just might help love bloom again.

The film's plot is based on Vincent Benet's story "Sobbin' Women," which itself is derived from the Greek myth of the rape of the Sabines.

Average Rating: (4 out of 5 stars) 4 stars

3 stars Disappointed....
I had seen this movie some years ago and so I was looking forward to purchasing it. Unfortunately I found that it appeared very dated and although I very much like both Jane Powell and Howard Keel the film just no longer had the freshness that I had remembered. Also, I had thought that there were more well known songs but the only one I really enjoyed was "Bless Your Beautiful Hide" and that was over far too soon. Very colourful, costumes were great and the actors and actresses all very enjoyable - just missing that extra little spark for me, unfortunately.

I've loved this movie since I was a little girl, and it only gets better every time I watch it. This movie is absolutely hilarious and the music and dancing are fantastic. Everyone will love this movie...even the guys. This is a movie that should be in everyone's library!

5 stars wonderful musical in brilliant color
I bought this dvd in widescreen. As we all know that widescreen shows extra footage on the side of the screen. I myself enjoyed this movie. I also have it on vhs in full screen. If you like widescreen, then this is a good one to buy. It is a musical with romance, comedy, singing, in a wonderful story.

A magical, musical nanny brings a breath of fresh air into the stuffy Banks household in turn-of-the-century England. Overstuffed with gaiety, this children's fantasy is filled to the brim with wonderful dance numbers and outrageous songs (such as the seemingly unpronounceable "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious"). The film's seamless blending of live-action with animation was a marvel in its day. This is Andrews' film debut and Darwell's last film appearance. Academy Award Nominations: 13, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best (Adapted) Screenplay. Academy Awards: 5, including Best Actress--Julie Andrews, Best Original Score, Best Song ("Chim Chim Cher-ee"), Best Editing, Best Special Visual Effects. Gold Collection Edition features "Hollywood Goes to a World Premiere." Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke star in this charming film. Special bonus material includes an animated short "The Cat That Looked at a King", hosted by Julie Andrews, a magical musical reunion as Julie Andrews, Dick Van Dyke and Richard Sherman gather around the piano and reminisce making the film, "Backstage Disney," lots more.

An exciting mix of rough-and-tumble baseball with lively song-and-dance numbers makes this musical a home run. When middle-aged Joe, number one Washington Senators fan, gets a deal from the devil and is transformed into a hotshot rookie baseball player, the Senators have their first real chance to beat the Yankees and capture the pennant. But the devil's secret agenda is to pull the rug out from under the fans' feet just before the Senators win, hopefully sparking massive depression. Joe's yearning for his wife throws a wrench into the devil's devious works, encouraging the devil to call in Lola, the best vamp in his staff. Joe and Lola warily dance around each other, he fascinated by her physical charms, she mesmerized by his honest goodness. With so much pressure on him, can Joe hold it together long enough to beat those damn Yankees, win the pennant for the Senators...and keep his soul?

Shot in Salzburg against the majestic Bavarian Alps, THE SOUND OF MUSIC is considered one of the greatest screen musicals ever made. Winner of five Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director (Robert Wise), the film, based on a real family and their true events, tells the story of a young postulate, Maria (Julie Andrews), who, after proving too high-spirited for the Mother Abess and other nuns, is sent off to work as a governess to seven unruly children. The Von Trapp family is run, in military style, by the seemingly cold-hearted Captain Von Trapp (Christopher Plummer), a lonely widowed naval officer. Seeing how badly he and his children need companionship, he proposes to the Baroness Schraeder (Eleanor Parker), a calculating, mutual friend of beloved family friend Max Detweiler (Richard Haydn). It is the baroness who soon realizes that it's Maria--with her warmth and love for the children--the captain really loves. It is nearly bliss for the newly formed family who loves to sing together--except for the cloud looming over their beloved Austrian horizon: Hitler is ascending to power, forcing Von Trapp to decide whether to join the Nazi party--which he loathes--or force his family to leave their home forever. One of the most memorable scores ever written (by Rodgers and Hammerstein) and breathtaking performances by Andrews, Plummer, and the seven children mark this classic as one of the world's most favorite films.

Ed Wood, since Tim Burton's biopic of the same name, has become the phenomenon that he always hoped he would be during his lifetime. Wood has become known as the worst movie director of all time and this documentary takes a comprehensive look back at his career and life. Featuring interviews with almost all of his stock company and many of the people who funded his films, THE HAUNTED WORLD paints an astonishing picture of a man very similar to the one portrayed in Burton's film. The film also features previously unseen film clips such as Wood's first television commercial (which never aired) and his first film, a western called THE CROSSROADS OF LAREDO. A remarkably in-depth and insightful documentary, THE HAUNTED WORLD OF EDWARD D. WOOD, JR. is a tremendously entertaining trip back in time to the world of one of the strangest men ever to get behind the camera.

In this initial volume of the ZIPANG anime series, Kadomatsu and the entire Mirai crew try out the AEGIS system, but the results are not what they expected. Sent back in time to June 4th, 1942, the whole team finds itself in the midst of the Battle of Midway. While it is tempting to use insight from the future, it is also crucial they don't mess with fate. How much can they control the course of history? Find out in this first set of episodes.
