I have an idea for a Seven Brides for Seven Brothers sequel. It is 21 years since the end of the first movie, Oregon is a state and the Pontipee family is practically the size of a small town. They are more accepted in the town proper but they still have the reputation of being the crazy and wild family. The movie is about the love stories of Hannah and Gideon's adopted daughter Felicity (Gideon and Alice adopting is inspired by the fic Such Downright Domesticity). The conflict is Oregon's anti-miscegenation laws and the resolution is the Pontipees deciding, screw it, these marriages may be illegal but anyone trying to stop them will have to go through 20 backwoodsmans with guns.

[millificent]

Also!!!

Milly becomes more of a feminist throughout the course of the film. At first, she just wants the brothers married so they are out of her hair, but she steps in to protect her girls showing her own maturation.

Milly also goes from ‘I can fix ‘em’ in Going Courtin’, to ‘they can fix themselves’ when she throws them all out. And they do - because they realise they were wrong!

Milly does not tell Adam about the baby. She was literally prepared to be a single mother on the top of a mountain in 1850 rather than have a misogynistic, enabler husband around her.

In June Bride, the girls are able to explore their sexuality a little bit. They are not sexualised themselves in this (no male gaze here!), nor are they shamed for it.

At the start of her marriage, Milly is outnumbered 7:1 by the Pontipee brothers. By the end of the film, with the wives and baby Hannah, the women outnumber the men!

The brides also utilise the patriarchy to get their way (see: claiming the baby as theirs).

And also, by the end of the film, not only do the men realise the error of their ways and fix their behaviour, THEY ALSO HOLD OTHER MEN RESPONSIBLE (see Gideon punching Adam).

The film isn’t problematic - it’s about overcoming problematic, toxic masculinity!

One of the most feminist films of all time. End of story.

‘Seven Brides for Seven Brothers’ is actually super feminist

The female protagonist, Millie: is a frontier orphan

Also the female protagonist, Millie: Takes care of herself by working as a cook, knows how to do farm work including chop wood

Brief glimpse of her slapping a dude who gets too fresh with her

Millie: Realizes that her new husband actually married her so he could have a woman to take care of him–feed him, clean house, do laundry, etc–and his six brothers, all of them dirty and scrappy

And she’s like, nope, I’m not gonna take this lying down

“If you’re gonna act like hogs–YOU’RE GONNA EAT LIKE ‘EM!” 10/10

Doesn’t sleep with her husband until they actually have a DTR and confirm, yes, okay, we also have romantic feelings for one another 

Millie encourages the brothers to clean up physically and shows them how to court girls properly

Basically teaching them to be better people and treat people with respect

The brothers kidnap six girls from the local town–Millie immediately SENDS THE BOYS TO SLEEP IN THE BARN ALL FREAKING WINTER, INCLUDING HER ENABLER HUSBAND

She takes care of the six kidnapping victims and doesn’t let the men back inside the house to interact with the girls 

The girls pulling pranks on their kidnappers, like, “just so you know we still like you but kidnapping us wasn’t cute” 

Millie has a baby girl, husband be like, “YKW, if that was my daughter that’d been kidnapped I would hang the criminals who did it, what I did was wrong and I am truly sorry” 

Basically by the time the story is over Millie has all seven brothers drinking the Respect Women Juice™

Weird feelings and butterflies (Frank x reader)

Requested by: anon

Request: Can you do an imagine for Frank from 7 brides for 7 brothers? Just like meeting him for the first time and then him telling all his brothers about you when he gets home

Warnings: none

A/n: Yess he’s my second fav brother!

You had been walking through town with your friends. The four of you had been talking not about much but just what was new when you came up to the general store. That’s when you saw Ruth, Liza, and Martha about to head in when a man jumped down from a wagon parked in front of the store. You didn’t recognize him or any of the men in the wagon.

“Care for a chew of tobacco?” The man asked to them smiling.

“Well, I never!” Martha replied offended.

“What’s going on here?” One of the townsmen standing outside the store asked walking to the the four of them.

“That oaf insulted us.” Ruth stayed to the men.

“No such thing.” One of the other men from the wagon replied jumping down from the wagon. “All he did was offer them a chaw of dang good tobacco.” He added popping some in his mouth.

“It is, huh?” The towns man asked slapping some out of the others hand.

This started a fight between the two towns men and the men who recently jumped out of the wagon.

That’s when you saw Milly run out of the store. You were happy to see her since you hadn’t had the chance to say ‘goodbye’ to her before she got married. This also told you these men in the wagon were the Pontipee brothers.

“Stop It Benjamin!” She yelled at the man fighting. “Stop it this minute!” She continued to yell at one now known as Benjamin who obviously couldn’t hear her, so she turned to face the wagon.

That’s when you really noticed him, he was handsome, really they all were, but this one the moment you saw him you felt like your stomach had butterflies in it.

“Don’t just stand there do something!” Milly yelled to him.

“What for? There’s only three little ones.” He replied confused as to why she wanted to stop the fight.

His voice sounded like music to your ears and he definitely didn’t talk like the men in town.

After he said that however he noticed you, smiling in admiration. You quickly turned your attention to the fight but a blush crept onto your face.

Benjamin finished the fight and you and your friends rushed to the aid of the townsmen, but you were too focused on the man in front of you to help up the men. Your friends elbowed you to get your attention off the man.

“You get in that wagon. Get!” Milly yelled to Benjamin. As he got into the wagon she apologized to everyone.

Frank couldn’t keep his eyes off you, of all the girls there you stood out. He felt a weird feeling in his stomach unsure of what the feeling was, he’d find out later from Milly it was love.

“It was good to see you Milly.” Everyone spoke as she apologized.

“Milly!” You called to her hoping to at least hug her goodbye before she left.

“(Y/n).” She smiled pulling you to a hug.

“Hope to see you at the barn raising.” You stated as she pulled out of the hug and got onto the wagon.

“I’ll definitely try to come.” She replied smiling though she was still slightly disappointed at the men with her.

As the rest of the girls said their goodbyes you were still focused on the mystery man who caught your attention.

“Hi.” You mouth to him with a small wave and a blush on your face.

He smiled but before he could saying anything the wagon jerked as they started to leave causing him stumble and his brothers to laugh.

“Better hold on Frank.” One of his brothers laughed.

‘What a nice name.’ You thought to yourself as they moved out of sight.

Back in the mountains when everyone was home Frank couldn’t help but tell his brothers about you. Of course most of them couldn’t even tell which girl you were since they paid more attention to the fight when it broke out, but that didn’t stop Frank from talking about you. You had pretty (y/e/c) eyes and a beautiful smile. Some how the world had stopped during that short moment he saw you and if it took learn how to dance and court a girl than he would learn everything just to go to the barn raising and see you. Milly thought it was sweet how he fell in love with you and how already admired you.

Shortly the two of you would meet again and everything would change.

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

[kazoosandfannypacks]

I still think a lot about the time I was watching seven brides for seven brothers with the rest of the craft barn staff at camp and we got to the scene where Gideon just straight up punches his eldest brother who was being a jerk and I was like "this is my favorite scene!!!" and my friend looked at me and deadpanned "you're just a gideon simp."

[nb2000]

SO, did you know that there's technically two versions of this movie? The director wanted to film in Cinemascope (big aspect ratio, good for putting 14 characters in scenes together) but the studio didn't think enough theatres could handle that and wanted to film in standard widescreen. The compromise was they shot every scene twice: once in Cinemascope, once in Widescreen. There's a DVD that included both versions on two separate discs and when you sit down to watch both (which you do if you're a massive nerd like me) you can tell when actors mess up their lines in one version but not the other (I'm currently drawing a blank on which version is which though). When Milly has the brothers lined up before the barn dance she asks Gideon about his thumb, in one version Russ Tamblyn forgets to actually say what was wrong and just goes to "the nail almost came off".

Slightly easier to explain trivia: The Pontipees are all redheads because the producers wanted audiences to be able to tell them apart from the townspeople.

The Brides' dresses were made from second-hand quilts the costume designer bought.

Everyone's covered the "Benjamin stands at the back because his actor couldn't dance". They also had to hide one of the brothers behind the stairs during the scene where Milly's giving birth because Jacques d'Amboise had to leave early to go back to the New York Ballet.

Remember how you did a which brother is hottest from "seven brides for seven brothers" during the men's tournament? Could you do it again for the ladies please?

To partake in this poll, you must watch a bunch of women in 19th century underwear singing about how much they like weddings and/or how much they hate winter. (This is a weird musical.)
