- Howard Keel comes to town to find himself a wife, in the 1954 Stanley Donen musical Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. Music by Gene de Paul, lyrics by Johnny Mercer.
Howard Keel had a unique gift: he could burst into song like it was the most natural thing in the world, and it never seemed corny or fake. He just seemed to have an ocean of music in him, and it would come rolling out two or three times a movie.
This made me laugh but only because it's true lol
Best musical of all times.
What a voice. Damn.
It's almost as if he's having a conversation with himself.
True! Just walkin' down the street, totally natural: nothing showy or fake. His voice lifts my spirits! Always loved his movies on TV . I think I may have even seen him in summer stock but I'm not sure. My grandmother would take me to anything that was around. I loved it but SO took for granted that we could see the great stars of the golden era live on stage! Good times! Howard Keel made it look easy and I think there will never be anyone better for this type of role!
I love Adam’s growth. He had a lot to learn about what it means to be a husband and to cherish his wife as opposed to just living with her.
We all think we're a catch 😉😅😅
I agree! It was great to see his character change and grow to something better than where it started.
and most importantly when he finally came full circle and had to re-examine his own behavior after becoming a father "if someone else had kidnapped her like a thieving fox, I'd string him up!"
Exactly
All the took was Adam taking one look at his little daughter to make him regret kidnapping the girls.
he did have excellent character development
I love that right at the end he is not turned off by her shoving that guy to the floor. He loves the fact that she is sparky, independent and fierce, not intimidated by it, and it’s something that, for all Adam’s major flaws, he never tries to quash or change.
@@toyahbetheglory2140 - they're there for their afternoon tea. Remember that sentence, you obviously need the help.
This was a feminist film. Milly had everyone doing her bidding.
@@laurenmeltzer7159feminist film LOL
Did you even watch the movie?!
She was married to be in the kitchen. I promise you it isnt a feminist film LOL!
Edit: I had to come back to laugh some more lol
@@tonytran07watch the movie again and see how feminist it is. Adam marries Millie thinking she will be a pretty little housekeeper. Instead, she orders him around, domesticates his brothers, teaches them manners and rules that roost like her kingdom. When the boys kidnap the girls, Millie banishes them from their own home and it’s the girls who ultimately decide their own destiny - by all of them claiming Millie’s baby as their own they force their fathers to put aside macho revenge and agree to marry their daughters to the brothers. Not to mention Adam’s journey from seeing women as props to finally learning to respect them.
Howard Keel...tall...handsome....and a killer voice...
BarbieMak225 and sassy as can be
I'll bet feminists just love movies like this. Especially the part when he asks millie to marry him and she replies," Well I'll have to finish my chores first". Lol
@@steveszetela8715 feminist here
I love this film it was a different time we can accept things were different without agreeing with it
Feminists hate this movie to death, which is why it's so popular
And he's a redhead
Kids today would be lucky to know such classics. Luckily, my folks raised me on every kind of music there is.
And you are a better, more cultured person for it.
I’m 13 and I literally love musicals and this one is my Favourite.
Christy C I’m only 22, and I’ve been brought up on this music. It’s great
My mother raised us on the classic movies too and I have done the same thing with my daughter and this is one of her FAVOURITE MOVIES!
my grandma watched these movies all the time when i was kid, embedded in my brajn
My favorite part is when Adam turns that mannequin around and laughs!!! That has always cracked me up!
“Not even mad bro”
2023 and i still love this movie ☺️ a movie made before my parents were born and here i am 🫠
I thank my mom for introducing this movie to me when I was 6 years old. I'm now 21 and it has remained my favorite movie/musical of ALL time ❤️
I'm 21 as well and every since I can remember this movie has been apart of my life.
did you just respond to yourself :P
36. Mom introduced us to it when I was about 6. This movie is a Christmas favorite. It's just one of those cozy movies.
Me as well
"Simple and sweet."
*Millie pushes the dude off camera*
"And sassy as can be!"
U-U
My favorite part 😂
I loved everybody in this movie but milly was my favorite.
And he says ‘sassy as can be’ with such excitement and pride. I love how it seals his decision to marry Millie seeing her toss that guy to the floor.
I love this movie, I know it shows so many things that younger generations would totally disapprove (and even cancel) but I couldn't care less. I love it!
But that can change once they watch the full movie and see the growth of all the brothers. Such a good lesson for all backgrounds! The younger generations disapproving the movie kinda shows the point.
I'm part of the younger generation and I love this movie!! The plot, the score, the singing, the acting, I honestly think this is one of the best musicals out there. Especially compared to the garbage coming out these days 🙄. We're not *all* without taste 😉
@user-uj7ep6xl6w Congrats! You and I are clearly superior than many of today s Youth full of abulic woke tastes and full of dangerous Fascism! :))
I'm 50 and was born 11 years after this film debuted in theatres. I first watched it in the mid-70's as a teenager on one of those late night Saturday classics shows. It is gratifying to know so many newer generations of teenagers still go for this film! I must say-we ALL have great taste! RIP Howard Keel/Adam. A handsome man with a beautiful soul and a beautiful voice.
Y’all do not have great taste-
@★Miss Finley★ what you doing here then? 😂
When I was in high school, I played Adam in the High School Musical. It was SOOO fun. Even though there were parts of the musical I enjoyed more, singing THIS song is what I became known for. Everyone who saw me in school, or in my town for that matter, EVERY TIME, would say "HEY! Bless your beautiful HIIIDE!!"
However, my voice was, or is, no match for Howard. Hell, they had to move the key up so it was in a Tenor's range for me. This guy's voice was EPIC!
Man i wish my school did this. I would totally act as Millie
You're such a modest fella aren't you? So humble.
@@jasonhendry8136 what’s your problem? He was humble, even pointing out he couldn’t close to Howard Keel (but then who could?)
Not only does he look like a real man, but he sings like one too.
Yep👍🏼
Lindon Lamont No kidding..... sigh.😔
Very few better than the great Howard Keel, one of the classiest and most talented singers of any generation.
detsportsfan18 I
One of my absolute favorites along with Mario Lanza. Had great singers in my day. I am now 85.
I love that this musical wasn't afraid to paint people by their flaws. Adam was sexist and chauvinistic and thought he could window shop for a wife. He was also not wildly smart, as he misinterpreted Plutarch's history of the Sabine women as teaching and led his brothers to kidnap six women. And because it's all done in song and cheer, people today see it as celebrating their deeds, when in reality it's highlighting their flaws. See everyone around Adam reacting the way we might to such an entitled 'backwoodsman' from 'bear country'. The woman in the shop isn't afraid to tell him he can't just shop for a wife. The girls he eyes up who come in for quilt pieces are embarrassed and want nothing to do with him. The song isn't trying to show that this is HOW we should search for a partner, but rather how Adam DID, and the rest of the movie shows the calamitous stupidity of him and his brothers (and somehow that they can still win the hearts of those they've fallen for, because the movie is wildly optimistic to boot.) Today in any blockbuster, the protagonists are made to be flawless and cool. These seven brothers were all idiots. And I love every one of them.
thats actually way too much sense and people would rather just take it at face value without deep thought on why these characters are portraying those traits. the thought goes as deep as well every man was like that back then :)
People DID shop for wives.
People don't like to have to think and deduce morals anymore, nor do they like complex/redeemable characters.
It's almost all about artifice, "representing" something as simply existent and either completely bad or completely good.
I disagree. Men should emulate Borat-type abduction. The sack makes it harder to breathe so they fight less.
@@graceamerican3558 Still do
I grew up watching these, every Friday before my parents picked us up, granny had us watching Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, My Fair Lady & Sound of Music
Milly is one of the most inspirational women of my life. If only we were all a little more like Milly, what a 'Wonderful, Wonderful, Day' that would be. ♥
Laurie Loveridge Agree completely! x
I understand why people complain about the politics of the show, but I also argue that at least Milly has more strength of character and agency than Christine in ‘Phantom of the Opera’ - she refuses to back down or to admit defeat she stands her ground and goes on with life no matter what it throws her and declares her power and position in that house
Milly was an absolute beast. And it took a woman like her to straighten them boys out and turn them into men.
I love it when he says "And sassy as can be!" XD
every guy loves a little challenge. I think that's why he smiled so big.
Yep, great line :)
It’s very satisfying. The word “sassy,” snaps like a whip
back when i was young we didn't have cartoons 24 seven so i had to watch stuff with mom and i fall in love with these movies and the musicals!...
its very good movie!
+Caroline Miller yep it's a wonderful movie :D
True ...we were lucky these was such high quality performances and wonderful music.💕
this is what my brother sings when he gets drunk
Lol
Good choice!
Funny brother
I have respect for your brother now
Too bad-he diminishes the sheer genius and artistry of Howard Keel’s performance in this gem of a musical.🙋🏼♀️
Don't know who she is yet, but bless her beautiful hide, she's the most beautiful girl in the world.
You found her yet?
I close my eyes and I see my Dad singing this in the greenhouse on a Sunday morning.
Did he actually sing it?
I first watched this film at 13 and I swear Howard Keel was the most beautiful man I had ever seen.
This is a fun movie and Howard keel is such a good singer
One of my favourite musicals ever! Love it!!
Me too & I'm 14. :)
Gena Kelly Ahh love it and I'm 18!!!:)
Jennifer Glatzhofer- This was my mom's favorite musical, and it's definitely on my own personal top ten list! Interestingly, it wasn't a Broadway production until later. It was written by, and for, the movie industry of the early 1950's!
@@billanthony7896 Yep and during my youth. I loved the movies that were musicals. I can't sing, but I can enjoy immensely those who do.
This film for me began the start of many that I initially had no desire to watch, but finally did to make my wife happy...and it was worth it.
Howard keel what a voice some things are just timeless they don’t make them
Like this man anymore
I'm in my early 30's and I am NOT a fan of musicals. But I am very grateful that my parents showed me and my siblings this wonderful movie when I was a child. It has stayed with me for all these years and I plan on showing my children this movie when they are old enough to appreciate it
My Mom and I’s favorite movie together. I remember being 10 just waiting for her to turn this movie on.
I’m 26 now and it still makes me so happy!
An absolute classic! Back when actors were real actors, with all around talent.
Howard Keel, what a great man and performer and what a singer. I can remember way back in the year of 1978-1979 period in our lecture Theatre England being introduced to this most wonderful film by our English teacher. The film left a somewhat great impression upon myself and I never tire of watching it and the film will always be etched within my memory. Wonderful, magnificent, beautiful, the list goes on!
"aaannnnd SASSY as can beeeeeee" haha
Sarah Arndt "bless your beautiful hide and prepare to bend ur knees.." *Welcome to 2018*
Sarah Arndt Lol! I love that part 🤣
My favorite part too. 😂
So when a man sexually assaults a woman and she resists - she is being "sassy"?
My mom introduced me to this when I was like 10 and I actually hated it but I’m 25 and I love it coz it’s actually really good and it reminds me of her since she died when I was 15
You get 100 likes from me, good for you, I share this song with my daughter and she loves it.
An all time favorite of mine and my mothers. I miss watching this movie with her. What an incredible classic with great actors.
The ending of this movie is the funnest thing I've ever seen! A must watch!
I just LOVE Howard Keel, tall dark and handsome - - a WONDERFUL VOICE He had it all!!!
This is the best musical about Stockholm syndrome ever!! I burst out singing this song more than a person should.
I'm 25 and this is one of my favorite musicals
I'm not a musical fan but loved this one. I watch everytime it's on
My granny introduced me to this musical it's now my favourite. She is the best! 😂🥰
True story.
1990 Lillywhites sports store central london.
I was working there, late teens.
Howard Keel comes in, he bought a rowing machine, he said to me and a colleague to bring it over to the Mayfair Hotel.
So later that day we bring it over, we tell the concierge, concierge calls the room, but Howard Keel's little Gofer come down "Thanks, now go" he said, we were very disappointed, I explained we were supposed to meet Mr Keel again, the gofer was busy fobbing us off, when we heard a booming voice "Hello, boys", there was Howard Keel just arrived from his room into the lobby, arms outstretched, he welcomed us with big smiles, he brushed away his little gofer with a sneer, and was really nice to us, such a big star.
I remember watching this show when around the age of 5. I had completely forgot the plot of the movie so recently I decided to watch it again. I am as obssessed if not more with this movie than I was when I was 5, which was 11 years ago. The music, singing and dancing are amazing! Love it so much :)
This came out 23 years before I was born, but its my all time favorite movie!
Am i the only Black guy that knows this song word for word
Na bra, I know the whole movie.
No I know every song in this movie
Nope, you're not
@@johnhoward7083Right!!! 😂😂😂💪🏽
Nope this is my all time favorite musical.
I love this movie so much. I'm only fourteen but I'd rather watch this movie any day over any of the movies out now. I've been watching this movie since I way really young.
"They're spoken for!" Cool story bro
Not that much different from later when they kidnapped the women like that
"Oh just spoken for.......you had me worried" 👍😆😋
Saw this as a kid ,and loved facial hair ever since. On men. Men with gorgeous singing voices.
I remember my dad was watching this when I was little and I came in and watched it with him... it’s so great I love it to this day
i could sing this for the rest of my life
I remember watching this when I was 13 on TCM. I'm 17 now. I love this movie.
I'm gonna start using that "nice day for marryin'" line.
The amount of change a single women can bring to a mans life is amazing.
I don't remember how old I we when I first watched this. I just remember being unhappy and not wanting to watch it. I was mad as heck about it. But I'm definitely glad I was made to watch it. This quickly became one of my favorite movies.
It is comical very good dance movement ,choreography was beautiful. I love this movie very very lovely.
+Cheryl Gittens yeah it's a lovely movie :D
Sorry but really how can you love this film. I have seen it once at my aunt's and found it totally obnoxious and revolting. Those inbred brothers for a start NASTY.
+John Walters I guess its a matter of taste
Because we're intelligent.
Just finished watching this movie......... It's an actually a really great movie!!!
This song was on my mind this morning, so I went to look at the clips. Jane Powell died yesterday, the day before this song started running through my head. RIP my fair lady, I got the message.
My grandfather would watch this film with me until he passed away when I was 4. When I was in primary school my mom would give my brother and me a pick of one movie each to watch every weekend. I always ended up tricking my brother into using his turn for a double watching of this film hahaha. Best musical ever ;)!
I love this movie so much!!
I’m with you, romance without the cynicism and depravity that later movies would be characterized by.
Born in 03 and I love this movie I know every song word for word my dad literally had to hide the dvd from me when I was a kid
RIP Jane Powell. The best Milly that there ever was! Bless her beautiful hide.
I LOVE THIS MOVIE! ABSOLUTE BEST MOVIE EVER MADE!
I remember my mom had me watch this when i was still in like 3rd 4th grade. one of my fav. films. so nostalgic. What a great film !
It took Zac Effron two movies to kiss his girl on the lips. Howard Keel got married in the first 10 minutes.
The difference between these two is overwhelming.
Love this movie....I am sure I have seen it 50 times...each time its new.....
That little nod at the end slays me every time.
Been watching this since I was only 2 years old and it’s still one of my favorite musicals 18 years later
Just watched this movie for the first time since I was like 5 or 6 which was 19 years ago. Way better than I remembered it.
Of course anybody of any age can enjoy these wonderful classics, but I enjoy knowing people's ages...for one thing it shows how timeless these numbers really are. For another, it shows that good taste is not limited to any one generation.
As for MY age, it is...well...between 18 and 80! ;-)
Between 18 and 80, I love it, me too
Great movie saw it 100 x's already
I love your comentt..great movies are worth watching.
Love it. Burned in my head from childhood. I play these songs on electric guitar
I'm only twenty and I love this movie, own it myself. My choir teacher showed it to me and I never get sick of watching it
THIS IS MY JAM
Adam had a level of confidence and audacity other people could only dream to have
I still consider this movie the best :)
I grew up with this movie, I think the first time I did watch this Movie was about 5 and now i'm 16. Still my favorite classic.
I love this song....I feel in love with this movie at the age of 13. I remembered my mom introduced my sister and me to this movie. Initially, we were not interested....welp, that whole summer and there after this become one of our favorite movies. I'm sure we watched it over 100 times that summer
use ta watch this with my mom, she loves musicals
You laugh cause you are 37 and like this movie? I'm 19 and was raised on this amazing movie, loving every song.
I just LOVED Howard keel in all of his movies, tall, handsome & a gorgeous voice!!
im 22 and i love this movie too! it makes me happy
I watch this movie every so often with my mom :) best movie ever
A masterpiece for the 60s in 70 millimeters, 6 SoundTracks film, Super Stereophonic Sound, 30 frames per second a real new type of filming! Nowadays a history of Cinema! BRAVO, a great time and a never better SOUND! Merci beaucoup! Emmanuel from Paris
Howard Keel.....what a gent.....he got even better looking as he aged.....he was gorgeous in Dallas.....
When me and my friend were at collage together we had to perform in a showcase full of MGM musical.
My friend was strugling to find a piece that fit him so I lept at the change to introduce him to this musical (he has a voice thats perfect for anything Howard Keel sings)
He loved it, and eventually the musical too!
When he was putting the scene together he asked if i would be Millie in the scene, I said "wouldnt you prefere someone from your year" as he was in the year below me and tbh i thought the other girls were a better fit than me 😅
He said "your the one who introduced me to the show inl want you to have the part" 🥺
Made my day and is one of my favorite memories, Love you bub! 💕
It is 2020 and I still watch this movie
He was so very handsome with his beard
I remember being upset when he shaved it. Still don’t like the shaving to this day.
@@sweetcinnamonpnchkin Glad I'm not the only one!
Give me three redheads with beards have always been a weakness
I'm watching this for inspiration. I'm trying to get back out there for the 500th time, demoralized but watching this to push me to look again.
I watched this musical as a kid. I still love it.
Bless your beautiful hide in Heaven, Howard Keel🙏🏻
Old-school humor is the best humor
Aww a year after this movie was made my mother was born
My favorite old time classic
I like how this guy is basically the western version of Gaston
I saw this movie when I was about 6 years old, and fell head over heels in love with Howard Keel!
2:15 if you came here for the actual song.
Trevin Conder Thank you
Commenting to bump since I found this way far down in the comment section
I loved this movie when I was a little ...haven’t seen it on tv in forty years and am going to rent it tonight. God Bless 💕
My mom showed me this movie when I was about 4 or 5. Been mine and her favorite ever since. I realize most 16 year don't like musicals. Haha I don't care! Love them! :)
Secretly they do
One of my favorite musicals :)
I have this movie and we love it I’ve watched it for as long as I can remember. These people are singers and very athletic great to watch anytime!
LUURVE Howard Keel... I pray he’s in Heaven....
Thank you for breaking the whole movie up into small segments!!
