Producer: Arthur Freed
Director: Vincente Minnelli
Awards: Brigadoon was nominated for three Oscars: best art-direction, costume design and sound. It did however win a Golden Globe in 1955 for best cinematography.
Interesting Fact: Howard Keel & Jane Powell were originally cast for the leads, but were unable to, due to prior film commitments. Since they were replaced by Gene Kelly and Cyd Charisse, they changed the theme of the film from a more vocal performance to more dancing.
My Favorite Scene: I actually played in this film back in my High School days and loved it ever since. My favorite scene would have to be the "Go Home with Bonnie Jean" song. Watching Van Johnson, dancing along with Gene Kelly, is a treat.
Yes, this is more of a musical than a romantic film, but it's message on love is timeless.Two hunters find themselves in a peculiar village in Scotland, only to be looked at as the peculiar ones. After meeting a beautiful woman, one hunter decides to stay in the village for the day and find out what makes it so mysterious. What they find is an unbelievable story of the city disappearing at night, only to reappear 1,000 years later. Soon the hunter finds himself in love and wants to stay with the village, but after a tragic accident, he leaves and watches the city vanish. After returning home, he can't think of anything but her. As a result, he returns to Scotland to see if his love can perform a miracle.
-"If you love someone deeply enough, anything is possible, anything."
