AHAHAHAHA, tonight my sister and I rewatched Seven Brides for Seven Brothers for the eight millionth time, and stumbledhere knows exactly why that is ALL HER FAULT.

Best horribly sexist old-fashioned cheesy Hollywood musical EVAH. Millie/Adam OTP!!!!

Pretty and trim but not too slim
Heavenly eyes and just the right size
Simple and sweet, and sassy as can be!
Bless her beautiful hide
Yes, she's the gal for me

i adore this movie beyond all sense and reason. ADORE IT. it's in my top five movie musicals of all time. and russ tamblyn is SO YOUNG. why oh why isn't there more musical fic? smallbeer and i keep saying we're going to do something about it, but then we never have.

you should definitely check out the remastered soundtrack. it's got all these demo versions of the songs, many sung by stanley donen himself (or johnny mercer), with much more, um. explicit lyrics. some of the just outrageously sexist premise lightens a little when you realize that they were clearly trying to make a MORE CAMPY film about what mountaineers do when they ain't got a woman. let's just say there's NO WAY that this movie is not, on some level, one big bestiality joke. the censored lyrics are so over the top that donen even starts laughing midway through one of the tracks. and also having him singing "going co'tin'" and an outtake called "queen off the may" is fun for hours.

if you don't want to get the whole disc, let me know and i'll upload just those tracks or burn and mail them to you.

Dude, that would be seriously AWESOME.

The bestiality joke is kind of really obvious even in just the lonesome polecat song. A man can't sleep when he sleeps with sheep.
