I Love Gene Kelly. I've seen all his movies over and over. He was an amazing dancer. and I especially love Brigadoon. There's no one alive who can dance like him in that carefree style. He made it look so easy.
It's amazing how Kelly and Astaire could come up with such musical diamonds as seen here, e.g., Kelly's walking backwards up a hill, legs crisscrossing, choreography at its most sublime.
Movies like Brigadoon were few and far between. People like Gene Kelly, Van Johnson and Cyd Charrisse don't exist anymore. I have watched this movie at least 6 times.it is one of all time favorites.
Feels like seeing a childhood friend after so many years. I thought I could never find this movie as I didn't remember anything about it beside it's about a village appears only every 100 years. After about 30 years I found it. Feel as lucky as Gene Kelly's character in the movie ( -70 years luckier) . :) Love you Google!
OMG!! I 've always wanted a man like Gene Kelly: handsome, romantic, talented, great dresser, & not afraid to love a woman or even to make a fool of himself for her!! Love him all of my days!! Continue RIHP King!! 💘
If this is what Tommy is like ALMOST in love, I wonder what being IN love is like. I still watch my VHS version of this even though I grabbed the DVD version. Brigadoon is my most watched movie of my 21 years closely followed by Guys and Dolls, and 1776. Musicals are amazing; that's all there is to it.
Guys and dolls, show boat, kiss me Kate, carousel, Oklahoma, 7 brides for 7 brothers, it's always fair weather, singing in the rain, meet me in Las Vegas are all classic MGM films I can't live without and I haven't even listed 1/4 of them
@Natalie...Agreed. But I think he'll have to share it with Fred Astaire who showed off his in his first dance solo. Take a look: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vtJD9No6GVM.html
According to what I see this was 3 years ago I hope you did it right Brigadoon is my favorite movie of all times wish I could have been there to see it I hope you had fun
I am half Scottish,i have been there many times, its magical!!!! Especially in the hills when the mist comes down, its like you are the only people in the world!!! 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
@@mariaevans7811 wonderful!!! It's not that I envy you, but I want to go there too! This one of my favorite solos and every time I sing it - I'm there>>>>
Maybe the sun gave me the pow'r, For I could swim Loch Lomond and be home in half an hour. Maybe the air gave me the drive, For I'm all aglow and alive. What a day this has been! What a rare mood I'm in! Why, it's almost like being in love! There's a smile on my face for the whole human race! Why, it's almost like being in love! All the music of life seems to be like a bell that is ringing for me! And from the way that I feel when that bell starts to peal, I could swear I was falling, I would swear I was falling, It's almost like being in love. When we walked up the brae, FIONA: Not a word did we say, It was...almost like bein' in love. But your arm link'd in mine made the world kind o' fine. TOMMY: It was...almost like being in love! FIONA: All the music of life seems to be TOMMY: Like a bell that is ringing for me! BOTH: And from the way that I feel when that bell starts to peal, FIONA: I could swear I was fallin', TOMMY: I would swear I was falling, BOTH: It's almost like being in love! source: www.lyricsondemand.com/soundtracks/b/brigadoonlyrics/almostlikebeinginlovelyrics.html
Pure joy - what else should a movie show? This is brave and daring - pure love is always a huge statement of strength and power. Anger and destruction is just a weak way to grab people's attention.
2:50 Does anyone else see them putting a bush into the scene, or is it just me? i seem to be the only person to have caught that in my class all 3 times we've watched it!
I never noticed it, until tonight on another video, because commenters mentioned it. Maybe I thought it was a breeze. But I just never saw it move, as I was focusing on Gene.
Welcome to the wonderful world of the great song and dance of the years of true entertainment. Now don't stop here, for the road to song and dance, has just begun.
That's cute interplay between Kelly and Johnson here. And there's only one other singer/actor/dancer who could pull this number as well I can think of at the moment, and that's Fred Astaire. Anyone in agreement with me? Astaire can match Kelly's mischievous little boy caught with his hands in the cookie jar improvisation. Then, too, both have the tenor voice that goes well with this song.
I personally think "Heather On The Hill" & his ballet with Cyd Charisse was the showstopper for the movie. Cyd Charisse was always beautiful. But, she was simply stunning as Fiona Campbell. Sure, Astaire danced on a ceiling. But, I honestly believe this was the most beautiful dance ever filmed. And, I'm including the "Carousel" Dream Beach Ballet, which makes me cry every single time!
Vincente Minnelli, the film's director, wanted to shoot the film in Scotland, but the MGM regime rejected the idea. Ultimately, both he and Kelly were disappointed with the finished product. The two roles that Kelly did want to undertake, Sky Masterson in Guys and Dolls and Pal Joey, eluded him.
Donald Marhefka if u go to the top right hand corner of the google page there should be a thing that looks like a group of squares. U click on that and there should be a Google Play button.
This was an all time favourite--BUT it should have been made in Scotland using people with authentic accents and using the beauty of the Scottish countryside. A shame...
When he drags his shoes across the floor,,does that count as the first scratch? Its ALMOST like listening to a modern DJ scratching a vinyl record.. 555555555 well before its time,
Don't find up-tempo renditions of this song (Nat Cole's, et als) disrespectful. Still, such interpretations can alter the sweet romance that was intended.
