Brilliant!
This is most certainly a candidate for the best movie musical of all time.
The story is simple enough to follow, but the musical sequences intertwine between the dramatic scenes with such fluidity that they help to further the story, rather then bog it down. The actors and dancers are all in top form, but special mention should go to Tommy Rall and Russ Tamblyn for their impressive acrobatic stunts which add an extra degree of vibrancy to the whole production. Howard Keel and Jane Powell work well together and make a realistic, and pleasant pair. Among the highlights to be seen are Keel's lively rendition of "Bless Yore Beautiful Hide", Powell's "Goin' Cotin'" sung with the men, and of course the famous barn raising dance sequence, which is truly a sight to behold; a visual feast for the eyes. Also worth noting, and often overlooked, is the "Lament" ("Lonesome Polecat") number which is done entirely in one take. It is charming, graceful, and extremely well executed. It should also be noted that this silm was shot twice at the same time, once in CinemaScope and once "flat". The scope version is the one generally shown on TV and video. If you see this version, see it "letterboxed". However, the "flat" version is quite unique in its own right, with many of the scenes and dances reframed and in some instances, offering a better, more full view of the proceedings. Definitely a not-to-be-missed film, especially for fans of the musical genre.. Tarryn08 watch Easy Six movie

brilliant film. great music. good old oldie.
its the history
this is only one of the best movies ever, but its all about the history
with it, the younger you are when you see it, the better it is, and its still riotous to anyone, but if you have the memories, you may never want to live without it, its just like that. the songs and dances are great, especially the lonely "boys" breaking out into ballet-like routines with a large axe while singing about this loneliness. you cant' not love it, what with adam singing about "when you're in love" then as soon as the song is over he tells his brother that one woman "is pretty much like the next." its always going to be one of those movies with those catchy songs that i will absolutely never forget...but in a good way. |
