Just be as lazy as you can...
Islay
Part of a documentary about Scotland - Islay (in Czech). The narrator pronounced Islay very incorrectly several times. There are many beautiful shots of/inside the Ardbeg distillery.

มุมมอง 48K16 ปีที่แล้ว
Jack Buchanan, international musical comedy star of 1920's, sings with famous English Glee Quartet.
Great, around 1930 I should think
Wonderful! Thank you!!!❤❤❤❤
Lo máximo, muchas gracias, saludos desde Perú
Superb - the great Buchanan. Thanks so much for posting - and in fine quality too!
i do like dennis willis better, but they could improve, so its not really fair to compare its still funny to see, just a little too oldish for me, haha still a like !!
dennis willis version is better
Dave Willis, Denny's father, performed an even better version with a dozen men all much taller than him. Alas no film exists.
Whato , whato .
Glorious Britishness . #sodthesnp
Donna Barr--I thought the same thing--Hugh Laurie channeling Jack Buchanan as Bertie Wooster.
I'm a movie nut, but this version of Brigadoon is my all time favorite. Not just the music and Scottish hue, but the idea of waking up every morning and 100 years have gone, allowing you to live your life without outside contact...awesome!!!
this movie really lays on the blarney and whiskey good and thick--but its still great fun---neither Kelly nor Charisse have good voices but nobody sees them for that--its the dancing---
what a beautiful man Gene Kelly was.... his life story was quite sad nearing the end of his life... but i hope he knew he was truly loved by many many people.
My all time favorite Gene Kelly movie.... i remember when i was a wee little girl watching this every time i went to my grandmothers house. :) beautiful memories.
What a delightful movie. :] I haven't seen all of it, but I've seen most of it, and it is such a wonderful movie. I'd love to see the show on stage as well.
Nice trousers, eh?
A perfect example of the fact that a good dancer does not make a good Choreographer The film was choreographed by Gene Kelly and is appallingly amateur and a total insult to anything Scottish!!! Why Agnes de Mille was not asked to repeat her original choreography is a mystery The poor dancing spoils this film!
From this to twerking....my how class has falling...Steve D
The tenor's vocalizing is lovely, although all the grinning men in tartans would be hard to take if Kelly and Johnson weren't there to give a contemporary spin. Kelly never really cuts loose, but that's deliberate: he didn't want to upstage Johnson, who's quite a decent hoofer himself. Delightful!
Isn't that Scotsman the bloke what sings "Beautiful Girl" in "Singing In The Rain"?
Good catch -- yes.
It's such a pure delight to be a part of this one of the most festive,stimulative,and superlative musical sequences in the 1954 MGM's Brigadoon.Irrefutably the entire scene - the scenic backdrop,the dynamic step designs,the graphic costumes,the melodic music,the fantastic camera-work,the emphatic scene execution,and the terrific performances of the entire cast headed by Mr Gene Kelly,Mr Van Johnson, and Mr Jimmy Thompson - is irresistibly enchanting,exciting,and lilting.The great wonders of MGM's classic movie musicals such as Brigadoon will incessantly be commended and considered imperishable,indelible,invaluable,and incredible.
This has got to be the most awful, cringeworthy musical of all time. As a real Scot (who actually lives in Scotland). I know that it is tongue in cheek but is still dreadful! Am shocked that a fellow Scot (Fastfowler) doesn't know the correct way of spelling ceilidh!!!
Scots don't like this musical like Austrians don't like (or watch) Sound of Music--both are some what stereotypical of native customs--but, with that in mind, they are still rather fun--
I tried to tap dance once fell in the sink gave up after that.
You were dancing too high...
Mom loved Van Johnson, who could dance quite well by the way. The dancers here are from the London ballet, so top marks for the dancing. Of course the best line of the movie> "Do they have witches in NY?, "Yes" said Van Johnson, but we don't call them that.. man I still laugh at that
I loved this movie when I was a kid ^_^ I still love it now that I'm almost 25!
love it, one of my favorites, no people don't think scottish people do this now. In the movie it is back in the day when they did. Great movie too
I'm not even a fan of musicals & I just watched this 6 times. Van Johnson a hoofer? Great stuff.
Van Johnson started out as a chorus boy. Look for a terrific clip of him singing and dancing from Till the Clouds Roll By under "I Won't Dance Van Johnson" You'll love it.
God, I love this movie. One of my favorite childhood movies. :)
Van Johnson !! Who knew he could dance so good...
Back when you used to need talent to be in movies!
Amen!
If this is what people think out us scots then come to scotland. we only wear kilts on special occasions. we sing and dance like that at cailyes and we dont talk like that!!!
Still, it's not a bad image :) And no matter what, there are few things sexier than a Scottish brogue!
This is supposed to be an ancient village that was made to disappear and appear again every 100 years, so it's not modern scotland
i know but even though we still wernt like that hundreds of years ago
fastfowler Parkour It's better than the unfortunate American stereotype of being ignorant, bigoted, fat, lazy, and stupid (and I am American, btw)
True
probably one my absolutely favorite musicals of all time.
***** "no not of the Amazing men", at first it almost looked like you were saying something else, but I know you meant "know". Anyways, I agree, and there may have been the "High School Musicals", but we need more than that
I am probably one of the few my age (33) who has been blessed to have had this movie introduced to me by my grandparents
Correction, nevermind, it may have been one of my classes in middle school that did. Great flick, though
I'm a month shy of 25 years old, and I've loved this movie since I was a little girl =D
The scots in this video, not in general.
Big Scotsman.6 foot 4 inches. 138 kg.
Bullshit Bullocks. The Lords of Scots are of course over 6 foot like in every country. Catchers.
Go Home with Bonnie Jean. Auld Alliance.
Im in play based on this called maccaroon!
My parents were named Jeanne and Charles. My dad was a Celtic dancer, my mother half Irish....I was about to be born when this film came out; so naming me Bonnie Jeanne was they HAD to do. Whenever I'm having a bad day, I'll always have this. What a gift.
Serious as all hell. It doesn't reflect badly on anyone.
Why are all the 'scots' less than 5'4"?
Braveheart has nothing to do with Brigadoon, dear. Two seperate stories about Scotland, one (more or less) true, and one a fairy tale. You figure out which. :-)
It makes me laugh this short part of Jack Buchanan
Gene's voice is so sweet... I swoon every time I hear it. <3
Van Johnson CAN dance ,,who knew?
i remember watching this movie over and over when i was a kid. this movie and this song is what made me become a huge fan of classic movies and musicals. love it! XD
Excellent choreograph point great movie classic
In a word ... CLASS! not much of that about these days.
Gene <3
It's a good thing that they wear tap shoes at all times just in case!
