I saw this film in the movies when it first came out. I watched it recently and found that it is just as fun to watch as the first time. I had forgotten some of the scenes and was pleasantly surprised. You will find yourself not humming but singing the tunes along with the movie and in the shower. Well, even if you do not normally sing in the shower, this movie will help you start. And do not go swinging your ax in the house.
The DVD version has background information to enhance your viewing pleasure.
If nothing else, this film is a good addition to your library.
Just in case you have not seen this film (hard to imagine), Millie (Jane Powell), one of the townspeople, is courted by Adam (Howard Keel), who is from another world, that of the woods. Both people have different agendas. Millie plans on a place of her own out of the hectic city, and maybe a little more exotic with a different sort of man. Adam, on the other hand, needs a chief cook and bottle washer for himself and his six brothers. At first, the surprise is on Millie. Later, Adam finds out that he cannot handle what he has brought home. The fun begins as Millie and Adam have a different approach to finding wives for the six brothers.
This film has lots of color-coordinated clothes, great dance scenes, and an appropriate song at just the right places to integrate into a fun story.
A classic favorite

This has been one of my favorite movies for a very long time. I've also shared it with my daughter and my grandchildren. The songs are great and fun to sing.
