Seven Brides for Seven Brothers

If you like old movies, this is a good one. The story is not that great but the dancing & singing are very good. You realize what a good singer Howard Keel is & I didn't even know Jane Wyatt cold sing, and she is very good.

Although the original film, "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers" was a marvelous blending of music, dance and the old pioneer days, this DVD transfer is a disaster. With today's technology, you would think that someone might have struck an anamorphic edition that would expand beyond the realm of 4x3 TV. The color was washed out, there was no dynamics in the sound, and the print looked almost as if no one bothered to look at the negative before it was transferred. I could feel the dirt falling off of the disc. (My old laserdisc edition looked better than this copy). In short, "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers"is a great musical that deserves a restoration before the transfer. BTW, wonderful performance by young Russ Tamblyn (of West Side Story fame).

This is a family favorite. Everyone of every age loves it. You should see my 4 year old niece Molly sing, "Bless your beautiful hide" HILARIOUS!

I grew up watching this movie, and when my vhs tape finally became unplayable, I was upset. Finding it on dvd with all the extras and at such a great price, I couldn't turn away. Great movie that everyone should watch!

I've worn out two copies of the VHS and was so thrilled to find the DVD.
