Brigadoon
US (1954): Musical/Dance/Romance/Fantasy
This Cinemascope® production brought Lerner and Loewe's hit Broadway musical to the big screen with Gene Kelly and Van Johnson as the American hunters who stumble upon Brigadoon, the magical Scottish village that went to sleep in 1754 and awakens for just one day each century.
MGM had originally planned to shoot this film on location in Scotland, but budget considerations turned it into a studio production, co-starring Cyd Charisse as the bonny lass who wins Kelly's heart. Although it has never been ranked among the great musicals of MGM's golden age, Brigadoon (directed by Vincente Minnelli and choreographed by Gene Kelly) has still got plenty of charm and continues to gain a loyal following.
