• Plot: Things are different for the Pontipee men now that big brother Adam’s fetched a bride and brought her to their cabin. The biscuits are fresh, the cabin’s spotless and there’s a heap of new learning about how to be fine gentlemen. The unmarried brothers are so ; inspired they raid the town and carry off brides of there own! Like a favorite flannel shirt, everything fits in this rugged whoop-for-joy directed by Stanley Donen, choreographed by Michael Kidd and ; featuring a sparkling Gene dePaul/Johnny Mercer score that won an Academy Award*.* Jane Powell and Howard Keel star, supported by a cast of buckskinned dancers and petticoated danseuses. And what steppin'! The barnraising sequence alone –back-flipping, plank-leaping athleticism - leaves a daylong smile. “Bless Yore Beautiful Hide,” all you brides and brothers. ;
