Missing Scenes and Songs

This is great movie but unfortunately like many of the versions of Brigadoon out there, it is lacking several scenes and songs. I remember seeing and hearing these scenes so I know they exist but they are missing from this less expensive release (the wedding vows, the songs "Come to me, Bend to me" and "There But for You Go I"). See this show on stage at some point to get the full effect of the beautiful music and story. Or buy the (gulp!) Laserdisc to get the entire show. At any rate, there is no better dancer than Gene Kelly and those who criticize the dancing should know that most of today's choreographer acknowledge their debt to Gene Kelly and his innovative moves.

Wonderfully Romantic in everyway!

Minnelli wanted to do this movie years earlier, but he couldn't. By the time he could it, they could only shoot it on a soundstage, but what a soundstage. Great colors, sets, and cinematography. Of course, it's the music and dance that really distinguish the film. All in all, this is a beautifully uplifting romantic musical starring Gene Kelly and Cyd Charisse: because there's a real chemistry between them. Brigadoon enthralls with such numbers as "Waitin' for My Dearie," "Bonnie Jean," and of course the spectacularly beautiful "Heather on a Hill." See if you don't hit the replay button a few times when these numbers end!
