Remembering The Iconic Barn Dance From 'Seven Brides For Seven Brothers'

Seven Brides for Seven Brothers was a 1954 American musical film, directed by Stanley Donen. Moreover, the music was by Saul Chaplin and Gene de Paul, with lyrics by Johnny Mercer. The choreography was by Michael Kidd. With the power of such a dynamic creative team, they created a 1950s hit musical film.

The setting for the film is in Oregon in 1850. The plot follows Milly (Jane Powell) who marries Adam (Howard Keel). She returns to Adam’s farm, she’s a bit surprised to meet Adam’s six brothers who all lack necessary politeness and manners. Not just that, but they also live in his cabin with him. Milly takes it upon herself to try and teach proper behavior and manners to the boys. However, things take a turn south after the boys kidnap six other local girls.
