Seven Brides for Seven Brothers (1954)

In the early 1950s, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM) had reached the peak of the studio’s powers, becoming the de facto home of the American movie musical. Its recent releases read like an honor roll: In the Good Old Summertime (1949), On the Town (1949), Annie Get Your Gun (1950), An American in Paris (1951), and Singin’ in the Rain (1952). For 1954, MGM needed to juggle two future additions to that list: Brigadoon and Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. The former starred Gene Kelly and Cyd Charisse, was directed by Vincente Minnelli (1944′s Meet Me in St. Louis, An American in Paris), and produced by the famed Arthur Freed unit. The Freed unit produced all of MGM’s A-list musicals, so the studio relegated Seven Brides for Seven Brothers as a “B” picture – cutting its production budget, slashing advertising expenditures. Stanley Donen’s (Singin’ in the Rain, 1955′s It’s Always Fair Weather) movie came dangerously close to being permanently shelved by MGM, but production did commence. In the end, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers outperformed Brigadoon in almost all metrics. And despite its very politically incorrect premise, it has held up better than Brigadoon as well as most musical films from that decade.

It is 1850 in Oregon Territory. Adam Pontipee (Howard Keel) has come down from the mountains – chest forward, masculinity erect for all the villagers to see – to announce he is here to find a bride. After eavesdropping on Milly (Jane Powell) and noting her sassiness and dedication to finishing her chores, he proposes, and she accepts without much question or resistance. Believing she is going home with Adam and only Adam, she is surprised that he also lives with six younger brothers – Benjamin (Jeff Richards), Caleb (Matt Mattox), Daniel (Marc Platt), Ephraim (Jacques d’Ambroise), Frank (Tommy Rall), and Gideon (Russ Tamblyn) – all of whom are ill-mannered slobs, are conveniently colored-coded by the costume design, and most of the six younger Pontipee brother actors are dancers (explained below). Furious at Adam, Milly demands an explanation. He responds that living in the backwoods requires men and women depending on each other to thrive. In time, Milly decides to teach the seven brothers proper etiquette and how to clean up after themselves.

I would be remiss without mentioning the six other women who become the brides (in alphabetical order with who they are hitched with, from Benjamin to Gideon): Dorcas (Julie Newmar), Ruth (Ruta Kilmonis), Martha (Norma Doggett), Liza (Virginia Gibson), Sarah (Betty Carr), and Alice (Nancy Kilgas). 

Seven Brides for Seven Brothers is based on “The Sobbin’ Women” by  Stephen Vincent Benét – a parody of the Roman mythological tale of the Rape of the Sabine Women. Wait! One quick explanation, please! Regarding the Rape of the Sabine Women, the word “rape” in the classical context refers to the Latin word “raptio”, which means abduction rather than the contemporary definition of rape. But this means the six other brides will be abducted by the Pontipee siblings – setting up the film’s frantic, comedic finale. A piece of modern feminism Seven Brides is not. Yet viewers need to consider that the seven men in the film have lived their lives in the Oregonian forests, with only Adam having infrequent contact with women and society at the most. The six younger Pontipee brothers might never have met women in a social context; their only understanding of women is through the Greek/Roman myths that Milly has read to them (considering the Rape of Sabine Women and Zeus/Jupiter’s behavior, you are right to be a bit horrified).

The Pontipees know nothing of physical boundaries, being respectful of women, and believe that they – perhaps not necessarily as men, but as individuals – should have what they want. Do you really expect them to not behave like lechers? Through the musical score, Seven Brides positions itself as a satire (and, especially in a scene where the younger Pontipees are trying not to knock other men’s lights out, often a hilarious one), never endorsing the behaviors of the Pontipee brothers. This tale of frontier courtship integrates Stockholm Syndrome (a psychological condition in which a hostage develops sympathetic feelings for their captor; also a narrative trope that has been abused by numerous artistic mediums). This is the point where the film’s screenplay by Albert Hackett (The Thin Man series), Frances Goodrich (Hackett’s spouse and co-writer), and Dorothy Kingsley (numerous Esther Williams movies including 1953′s Dangerous When Wet). As entertaining as Seven Brides is from its opening minutes, the women just seem too forgiving of the Pontipee brothers. Milly, in her active and open resistance to all that Adam is teaching his younger siblings, turns a one-sided argument into a battle of the sexes – making this a far more watchable film than it might otherwise have been.

For the musical team of supervisor Saul Chaplin (1961′s West Side Story), score composer Adolph Deutsch (1960′s The Apartment), song composer Gene de Paul, lyricist Johnny Mercer (maybe the best English-language lyricist from the 1930s-50s), and orchestrators Leo Arnaud (a longtime MGM contractee best known for “Bugler’s Dream”, a theme for American television’s presentation of the Olympics) and Alexander Courage (also a long-serving MGM contractee, but best known for his theme to Star Trek: The Original Series), Seven Brides for Seven Brothers’ musical score is spectacular from the very first song.

That first song? “Bless Your Beautiful Hide”, sung by Howard Keel in the opening minutes. The catchiest song in the film, it also serves as burning a hole through any expectations of clumsy or overlong exposition that can ruin a musical. In two-and-a-half minutes of Keel’s accented, blustering, unusually expressive bass-baritone, “Bless Your Beautiful Hide” has successfully introduced Adam Pontipee – that he is searching for a woman to sling over his shoulder, that she be at least conventionally pretty and not fat, can do work around the house, and someone who is “SASSY as can be!” One could not ask for a better introductory song than this. The song, “When You’re In Love” is a demonstration of Milly’s more refined nature against the rugged Adam. It is the song’s reprise – sung by Adam? – that poses problems. Keel also objected to the reprise’s placement in the film, saying that Adam did not understand what love is the moment he reprises the song (one could interpret it as Adam parroting Milly’s song, not fully understanding the lyrics, but I am not of that camp). Other highlights include Jane Powell singing “Goin’ Courtin’” a few scenes before Adam counters with “Sobbin’ Women” – recounting the story of the Rape of the Sabine Women, and setting the film’s resolution in motion. Seven Brides might not have the most memorable score, but it’s musically fascinating and I can’t label any of its de Paul and Mercer songs – okay, maybe “Wonderful, Wonderful Day” – as a dud.

But we haven’t gotten to the film’s ultimate musical accomplishment yet. Enter the barn dance sequence – an inspired composition by Adolph Deutsch and choreographer Michael Kidd (1953′s The Band Wagon, It’s Always Fair Weather). Alongside the excellent orchestration by Arnaud and Courage, the cue that accompanies this scene is just as fun to listen to within the film as well as when removed from it. Based heavily on “Bless Your Beautiful Hide”, the melody is passed back between strings and woodwinds with infectious zest. Infectious Western-styled themes; string-crossing; finger-numbing runs from the string section set the pace; and, when timed to the athletic, rather than balletic, choreography (the actors who played the six younger Pontipee brothers, the women, and the other suitors are all magnificent dancers), epitomizes the peak of the 1950s MGM musical. Because of the technical footwork, Donen sought to cast six dancers as the younger Pontipee brothers. Three weeks of rehearsal were needed just to record these several minutes of breathtaking movement.

Why resort to fisticuffs when things can be settled with a dance-off? Instrumentalists, dancers, and those who just love a good musical number will be left in awe here. For those who wanted to see a cartoonish brawl ensue, don’t feel deflated. This film will fulfill your wishes a few minutes after this, too!

Because of the film’s lack of support from MGM executives, the original plans to shoot on-location in Oregon fell through. The screenplay calls for the depiction of all four seasons, which would require a year-round shoot that MGM did not want to cough up for a “B” picture. Thus, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers would be shot almost entirely on the MGM backlot in a soundstage – which allows for some glaringly artificial painted backdrops and foliage that the viewer needs to overlook to enjoy such an electric musical. With production design as clunky as the Yellow Brick Road backdrops in The Wizard of Oz (1939), Seven Brides for Seven Brothers feels like it could have been made decades earlier. But don’t think Seven Brides is stuck in a previous decade. The film was shot on CinemaScope (a widescreen screen aspect format, though not represented in the video provided for the barn raising sequence, that had been introduced the previous year) as well as the then-industry standard 4:3 format – not all theaters had the technology to present CinemaScope or other widescreen formats yet. As a result, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers was shot in and exists in two different formats: a CinemaScope and a 4:3 version. This review was based on the CinemaScope version shown on Turner Classic Movies (TCM), and it is also the print I recommend you watch.

This is a musical movie I had been holding off on for years, for insubstantial reasons. In the end, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers – because of its depiction of men asserting their own gendered primacy – may not appeal to all audiences, and I will not quarrel with anyone who has given Donen’s film a mindful look. The film is hampered by the nature of its narrative and external, business-side limitations. Those aspects should not define it. Seven Brides for Seven Brothers’ gorgeous musical score culminates in a stunning dance scene and contains an unexpectedly thoughtful look on how a single person can inspire change in another (not exclusively in terms of “fixing” them), making this a splendid addition to the best musical lineup produced by any Hollywood studio.

My rating: 8.5/10

Matt Mattox

Matt Mattox (1921 – 2013) grew up in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Born as Harold Henry Mattox in 1921, left an everlasting mark on jazz dance in both the Europe and the US. Mattox spent more than 30 of his later years in France developing his own technique of jazz.  He formed jazz into a dance style all its own, creating much of the customs and vocabulary following jazz dance. His formal dance training didn’t begin until he was 11 years old and his family moved from Oklahoma to Los Angeles. Mattox had a ballet background which put gave him many jobs, including screen and stage. “In the Hollywood realm, Mattox held nearly 20 movie roles and made a lasting impression as frontiersman Caleb Pontipee in “Seven Brides for Seven Brothers” (1954)” (Semko). Mattox’s mentor was Jack Cole and was often believed to have set Mattox’s focus on jazz after casting him as a dancer in “Magdalena” on Broadway. Mattox decided that “From the mid-1950s on, Mattox taught his art to countless students…He began in New York and later went to London, where he created his own company, JazzArt, and taught for 5 years at the London’s Dance Centre” (Semko). Mattox found a passion for teaching; he did not know he had. He taught and created as much work as he could in the meantime. Not feeling fulfilled “He ultimately settled in the French commune of Roussillon in the 1980s with his wife, Martine Limeul Mattox, whom he met in London in the mid-1970s. Both dancers kept busy schedules teaching at Ecole Jazz Art Matt Mattox. He taught until he was nearly 90 years old. Mattox died in France in 2013, at the age of 91” (Semko). Matt Mattox was one of the most influential teachers, attempting to make sure his legacy lives on, which it surely does.

Within our technique classes was are currently studying Matt Mattox.

Matt Mattox Background and Career.

Matt Mattox, born Harold Henry Mattox in 1921, in Tulsa, Oklahoma. His dance training first began when he was 11 years old and his family moved from Oklahoma to Los Angeles. Mattox started of with learning the dance basics of ballet, tap and ballroom. “He later credited his dance training to tapper Willie Covan, vaudevillian Teddy Kerr and Louie de Prawn, noting how tap made a particular impact on his technique. Jack Cole also become his mentor in later years, influencing his focus on jazz”(Elizabeth Semko, 2015).

As Mattox grew older his dance career took a back seat as he became a Fighter Pilot with the Army Air Force during World War II. However this break away from dance didn’t break his passion for the performing career. “From the mid-1950s on, Mattox taught his art to countless students. He began in New York and later went to London, where he created his own company, JazzArt, and taught for 5 years at the London’s Dance Centre”(Elizabeth Semko, 2015).

During Mattox’s dance career he was especially known for Broadway. Mattox’s main focus changed from Ballet and Tap to Jazz after he was hired as a dancer in “Magdalena” on Broadway. “Mattox also played Harry Beaton in the the revival of “Brigadoon” (1957) and originated the part of the jester in “Once Upon a Mattress” (1959), among other Broadway roles”(Elizabeth Semko, 2015). As well has stage work Mattox was well known in Hollywood for playing various roles on the big screen. “Mattox held nearly 20 movie roles and made a lasting impression as frontiersman Caleb Pontipee in ‘Seven Brides for Seven Brothers’ in 1954”(Elizabeth Semko, 2015). As well as being an outstanding performer Mattox was also a renown choreographer, he had “choreographed nearly 30 ballets in the course of 30 years”(Elizabeth Semko, 2015).

Matt Mattox’s Dance Style

“Mattox is well known for developing jazz dance into a genre separate from the high-energy Broadway hoofing style it was previously associated with”(Elizabeth Semko, 2015). Mattox’s style of jazz was suited for theatre and concert dance. Instead of using the term, ‘jazz’, Mattox decided to call his style/technique as ‘Freestyle’. He used elements of dance from ballet, flamenco, tap and Spanish dancing to create new material (Elizabeth Semko, 2015).

Overall

Matt Mattox taught dance to many students until the age of 90. He passed away in France at the age of 91. His style and technique of dance has had a massive impact of the dance world nowadays and many teacher’s still use his technique within jazz classes.

*t-poses to assert dominance*

Tell us about your 7 sibs

GLADLY

so!! first of all, their mom and dad wanted to give them biblical names in alphabetical order (in fact, Adam is the eldest, then Benji, Caleb and so on). the only one who hasn’t got a biblical name is Frank (Frankincense is his full name), because mr. Pontipee couldn’t find any name starting with an F, but his wife thought the baby had a good smell, so that’s why they called Frank that ^^

they’re all amazing dancers, a lot acrobatic, and love fighting, especially all together. they always win because 1. they are lumberjacks, so pretty strong, and 2. well.. they’re seven lumberjacks lol

uhmm, Adam did his best to raise his brothers, considering it was the 30s/40s, but, you know, men at that time,, yeah. he was looking for the perfect wife - well he actually had more of a housewife in mind lmao - and fortunately found Milly! bless that girl. she’s been patient and stubborn enough (and especially madly in love with Adam) to teach some manners to all of them. and they learnt very well!

.. until Adam told them to kidnap the girls they liked. no bad intentions intended, klar! they were all six a lot in love, and wanted their girls at all costs, and they were also used to listen to Adam, so.. they took the girls - who luckily were in love with them too. and, although they clearly didn’t appreciate the gesture, they could’t help but be disappointed into returning home to their dads.

i won’t tell everything just in case someone wants to watch the show, but i really like & recommend it!!

also, so far, heres some info about my s/i!

her real name’s Hannah

mom couldn’t make it after giving her birth .. :(

she has only two years gap with Gideon

as she grew, dad - and brothers too - noticed the meaning of her name (grace, graceful) didn’t really fit her so everyone calls her Haley (heavy rainfall)

when dad passed away, Adam didnt exclude her from working as a lumberjack to get money, so she is pretty strong too

she can behave as a lady, as her dad taught her till she was 7, if she wants, but definitely prefers fighting with her brothers and wearing trousers like them

though shes the only one to not make a mess while eating lol
