Seven Brides For Seven Brothers: B+

1954's Oscar nominee and two time academy winner, this musical written by Saul Chaplin, Gene de Paul and directed by Stanley Donan is one of the best ever made.

Backwoodsman Adam marries Milly after knowing each other for only a few hours.
Adam whisk Milly away to his house in mountains with no honeymoon. Milly having gotten her hopes up about starting a family and creating a beautiful life is shocked to find that Adam lives with his six other brothers in a small cabin far away from everything. The brothers are unrefined, dirty, and immature, having never lived with or around a women they treat Milly like a queen, but very clumsily.
Milly has Reluctantly taken it upon herself to teach Adams brothers refinement and maturity. while successful, chaos pursues when the brothers kidnap Six brides for themselves from the local town. I consider this movie meant to uplift your spirit and entertain your family while reminding us of simpler times where chivalry meant everything, men where expected to work hard to support their families, women where modest and respected for it. Delivery of all these messages is exemplary which is why I consider this film a "Classic".

This movie is rated "G" for everyone
