		Nominated for 5 Academy Awards, 'Seven Brides for Seven Brothers' tells the story of the seven Pontipee brothers, who are living a rough lonely existence on their farm in Oregon...
		He develops an unorthodox solution to his brothers loneliness, much to the chagrin of the town fathers and their romantic rivals...
		It begins as a 'challenge' dance—a truly breathtaking display of acrobatic leaps and ballet steps, in which the brothers compete for the girls with the more 'refined' men of the town, and it ends inevitably in a noisy, undignified fight as the men actually try to raise the four sides of the wooden barn...

		In this case, it's the raucous Pontipee clan of seven brothers, who are tamed by eldest brother Adam's feisty new wife, Milly (Rachel deBenedet).
		Pepper Clyde's rambunctious choreography shines in such major dance numbers and captures the show's quaintness and humor, particularly in the brothers' lusty lament "We Gotta Make It Through the Winter." And the excellent ensemble cast proves to be as tuneful in belting the lively songs as they are talented at wrangling the intricate choreography.
		Seven Brides for Seven Brothers plays Wednesday-Thursday at 8pm, Friday at 8:30pm, Saturday at 2 and 8:30pm, Sunday at 2 and 7pm, plus Wednesday (May 27) at 2pm at the San Jose Center for the Performing Arts, 255 Almaden Blvd., San Jose.

		SEVEN BRIDES FOR SEVEN BROTHERS, of course, is the tale of The Pontipee Brothers and their search for love and happiness in the wilderness of Oregon.
		Seven brothers living together under one roof can create quite a mess, so the younger six finally persuade the eldest - Adam (Joseph Mahowald) - that he should take a wife, so while in town trading for supplies, he decides to see if he can trade for a wife, as well.
		SEVEN BRIDES FOR SEVEN BROTHERS continues under the Music Circus tent through Sunday, Aug. 23 and is followed by the final production of the 1998 season, SOUTH PACIFIC, starring Susan Egan (Nellie Forbush), Vernon Hartman (Emile de Becque) and Gary Beach (Luther Billis), all of whom reprise their roles from the 1993 Music Circus production.

	DVD review of Seven Brides for Seven Brothers (Two-Disc Special Edition) - DVD Town (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		In the case of the 1954 MGM musical "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers," I hadn't seen it since the time of its initial release in my childhood.
		Anyway, "Seven Brides" is based on Benet's "Sobbin' Women," a takeoff on Plutarch's story of the carrying off, or rape, of the Sabine women of ancient Rome, so you get some idea of the film's plot.
		In the case of "Seven Brides," the action can appear more than a bit stagey at times, especially when the actors are supposed to be in the great outdoors, and it's clear they're not.

	Seven Brides for Seven Brothers
		Only the eldest brother, 27-year-old Adam, was married, and his new bride, Hannah, faced the unmanageable task of living with this rowdy, unkempt houseful of brothers.
		Despite all the singing, dancing, and romancing, none of the other six McFadden brothers found a bride during the one season Seven Brides for Seven Brothers was on the air.
		The present brothers are all good-looking boys in that TV-series way -- snub noses, square chins and lots of hair -- but there isn't a really captivating star in the bunch.

		When Adam brings home his new bride Milly (Jane Powell), she is appalled at the brothers' slovenliness and sets about turning these unwashed louts into immaculate gentlemen.
		During the boisterous barn-raising scene, the brothers get into a scuffle with a group of townsmen over the affection of six comely lasses: Virginia Gibson, Julie Newmeyer (later Newmar), Ruth Kilmonis (later Ruth Lee), Nancy Kilgas, Betty Carr, and Norma Doggett (yep, most of the girls are dancers, too).
		Seven Brides For Seven Brothers is one of the best musicals that were ever made.

	Jacket # 11 - Seven Brides for Seven Brothers - background information (special supplement)
		Seven Brides for Seven Brothers faced many difficulties before becoming a finished product - including every scene having to be filmed twice so that cinemas which lacked the expensive new CinemaScope projectors would still be able to screen a version of the film.
		Seven Brides was the longest-ever running film at Radio City in its time, and even President Eisenhower urged his fellow Americans to go and see it.
		The original title of "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers" was to be "The Sobbin' Women" (the title of the short story it was based on).

	Seven brides, seven brothers, lots of song-and-dance highlights
		It stems mostly from Adam Pontipee corralling a girl to marry and his younger backwoods brothers (all six of them) scampering to "capture" their brides as the Roman soldiers did it in "Sobbin' Women," a rallying song Adam uses to embolden his brothers to action in Edward Juvier's intense and expressive voice.
		Following interest by the brothers, she shows them in "Goin' Courting" how to win over a woman, not in Adam's aggressive way but with charm and grace.
		Thus, having "mastered" their new craft, the brothers are ready to impress and win over some women at the church's "Social Dance." Waiting to challenge the frisky brothers, however, are other would-be suitors.

		This swinging musical western tells of the wooing and winning, by seven cowboy brothers, of the 'Sobbin Women', and is full of all-time favourites.Gene De Paul and Johnny Mercer's original score is characterised by a rustic exuberance, with ballads tending towards the semi-operatic.
		On the way through Echo Pass, the brothers allow the women to scream, the noise causing an avalanche of snow which cuts off the ranch for the rest of the winter.
		Milly is outraged at Adam for putting the abduction idea to his brothers, and bans the men from the house while the women are there.

		The casting of each brother with his rugged, masculine looks and ability to dance with grace and athleticism, presided over by an authoritative Howard Keel, gives the film a dynamic impetus second to none in an MGM musical.
		The documentary also highlights the care taken over the casting of the brothers, two of whom including Keel were not dancers and their often brave and brilliant feats of acrobatic dancing executed on precarious planks and other props.
		When his six brothers start to pine over six girls they met at a barn raising party, he convinces them, with the help of Plutarch, to kidnap them, just like the Romans did to the Sobbing', err, that is, Sabine women.

		Unbeknownst to Milly, the Pontipee brothers swoop down to town, kidnapping the girls one by one.
		Under Adam’s guidance, they got the cockeyed idea that the girls would be happy to be taken to their farm, and married that same night.
		There is much ado, including sly glances among the brothers, about Milly and Adam’s wedding night, though in actuality, Adam has been banished to a tree.
