Pros: Great dancing and music.
Cons: Really bad dialogue. shmaltzy.
When Lerner and Loewe changed George Bernard Shaw's Pygmailion into their musical My Fair Lady they kept much of the original dialogue. This was a good move on their part. One doesn't appreciate how good a move it was, however, until one...

Pros: Beautiful dancing and sweet love story
Cons: Artificial backgrounds, lack of comedy, too musical for a movie
At least 25 years ago, I first watched Brigadoon on stage at a local little theater in my old home town. My younger brother who is really into acting and directing was performing in that musical production as one of his first appearances on...

Pros: Enchanting story, wonderful music, beautiful dancing
Cons: NONE for me.
Whenever anyone asks me what my all time favorite movie is, I don't have to stop and think about it. BRIGADOON is at the top of the list. I first saw this movie when I was a child and was enchanted by the charming story, delightful dances and lilting...

by SusanGranger - Top 1000, Aug 14 '00
Pros: Enthralling musical teaming Gene Kelly with Cyd Charisse
Cons: stylish rather than realistic
This movie version of Alan Jay Lerner and Fredrick Loewe's Broadway musical was made during the waning days of MGM's musicals, an era when films were shot on the back lot, rather than on location. That gives the film a somewhat artificial look but...

by BrianKoller - Top 50, Feb 25 '00
Pros: costumes, cinematography, cast
Cons: musical productions don't quite work, direction has much melodrama
"Brigadoon" has a few things going for it: Gene Kelly, and an engaging story. But sluggish musical numbers and a lack of comic relief keep the production from fully taking off.
"Brigadoon" stars Kelly and Van Johnson as...
