Bros and Does

     Seven Brides to seven brothers was released in 1954, and oh boy does it show it. From the quality of film, to the voice overs and folley, to the type of humor, and genre of music they sing even the type of camera angles they utilize. Although I enjoyed the movie all in all. It isn't one that I would have sought out on my own, but I am glad I got to see it.
     The movie centers around a couple getting married and coming to live together they must lie with his six uncouth brothers. Convinced to civilize them She teaches them how to court a woman, and we follow them along this path as they get into all sorts of trouble. After their little effort has been shot down they turn to a history book. That teaches of how the roman soldiers stole women from far nations and brought them home to wed. Against their better judgement they decide to utilize the same tactic. Once they have six women captive they attempt to court them resulting in much laughter.
     The amount of physical comedy was kind of refreshing, it reminded me of the three stooges. Which I have not seen for a long tine. Even though they come across as foolish, there is something sincere about this type of humor. The external struggle is something we can easily see and relate to. All together seven brides was a good movie, but you do have to understand the context of when it came out to enjoy the movie.
