“I’ll go home with beautiful Jean”

In the mid-18th century, Highlands of Scotland, Rev. Mr. Forsythe decided that the village of Brigadoon was being unduly influenced by witches and the outside world, so he asked for a miracle that was granted, and the village only appears one day once every hundred years. It just so happens that on this very day, two hunters from New York were lost in the Highlands, Tommy Albright (Gene Kelly) and Jeff Douglas (Van Johnson). There Tommy meets and falls in love with a girl (Cyd Charisse), but does she exist? Things get a bit complicated, and Tommy has a lot to think about while Jeff, under the influence of alcohol, may have shot more than a bird. One man’s miracle can be another man's curse. An often overlooked musical, the music and songs of Lerner and Loewe which is a product of their time. This movie does not pretend to be anything but a movie version of the stage production directed by Vincente Minnelli, with Van Johnson and Gene Kelly at their best. I have seen several live productions, and this is one of those rare occasions in which the movie is superior. A must for any collection.
