Description
BRIGADOON (1954):
108 minutes
Look on a map and you won't find it. Look in your heart and there it will be. Enchantment is a place - and a movie - called Brigadoon when
Gene Kelly stars in and choreographs a lyrical film adaptation of Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe's 1947 Broadway hit.
Vincente Minnelli directs this ethereal tale of vacationing New Yorkers (Kelly and
Van Johnson) who discover a Scottish village that comes to life once every 100 years for one day only. There, Kelly and a town lass (
Cyd Charisse) share the love of a lifetime - a romance seemingly allotted just 24 hours. But fear not, there's magic and timeless songs hereabouts: Almost like Being in Love, The Heather on the Hill and more!
TAKE ME OUT TO THE BALL GAME (1949):
93 minutes
Frank Sinatra and
Gene Kelly play ball in a big way as 1900s vaudevillians who spend the winter flinging the onstage blarney and the summer flinging the ol' horsehide for base-ball's world champs, the Wolves.
Sinatra is second sacker Dennis Ryan and Kelly is short-stop Eddie O'Brien in this Busby Berkeley-directed romp that combines baseball with that other all-American pastime: romance. Esther Williams plays the new team owner and Betty Garret is a Baseball Annie with eyes for blue-eyed Ryan. Kelly and Stanley Donen's deft musical stagings ranged from a soft-shoe duet charmer to an exciting "barrel roll" Kelly solo. Their work persuaded producer Arthur Freed to green-light their direction of the same year's On the Town.
