�I�ll go home with beautiful Jean�
In mid-18 th century, Highlands of Scotland, Rev. Mr. Forsythe decided that they village of Brigadoon was being unduly influences by witches and the outside world to he asked for a miracle that was granted and The village only appears one day once every hundred years.

It just so happens that on this very day two hunters from New York were lost in the Highlands Tommy Albright (Gene Kelly) and Jeff Douglas (Van Johnson). There Tommy meets and falls in love with a girl (Cyd Charisse), but does she really exist?

Things get a bit complicated and Tommy has a lot to think about while Jeff under the influence of alcohol may have shot more than a bird.

Ones man's miracle can be another man's curse.

An often overlooked musical, the music and songs of Lerner and Loewe, which is a product of its time. This movie does not pretend to be anything but a movie version of the stage production directed by Vincente Minnelli, with Jan Johnson and Gene Kelly at their best. I have seen several liver productions and this is one of those rare occasions in which the movie is superior. A must for any collection.

A good old fashioned love story!
I used to watch this film as a child and loved the story, costumes, songs and dancing. And now I'm older I still love it!

A love story between a guy and a gal - separated by more than just continents. A shooting expedition in the mist leads to the discovery of a village in the Scottish Highlands where the villagers are somewhat old-fashioned.......

Just magical! Suspend your disbelief and watch this film, it will make you smile!

Simply magical
I just love Gene Kelly and any film he is in is always very sweet and always puts a smile on my face. So with this particular film, I really don't care about the tragic scottish accents because the music and dancing totaly make up for it!
This is a wonderful fairy story, So don't read too much into to it, just enjoy the technicolour and really rather funny one liners!

Set in a mystical scottish village that only appears for one day every 100 years, two American hunters stumble upon this village (Brigadoon) and its occupants.
Then there is a whole lot of singing and dancing and of course an impossible romance between Gene Kelly and Cyd Charisse (the leading lady of the village).
But how can it be? They are both from such different worlds (quite literaly!)
Well sit back,(preferably on a rainy sunday afternoon), relax and watch the story unfold...........
