Brigadoon (1954)

Directed by Vincente Minnelli and written by Alan Jay Lerner (An American in Paris (1951)) this average Musical features Gene Kelly and Van Johnson as "Americans in Scotland" who discover the titled town amongst the heather & in the mists during their hunting trip. They meet the locals and learn their secret (the town appears only once for one day only every 100 years since 1754) after the engaged Kelly falls for a local lass played by Cyd Charisse from the town’s elder (Barry Jones). But there’s more to the secret which along with a love triangle among some supporting characters (Jimmy Thompson Elaine Stewart & Hugh Laing) adds some drama extending this fantasy for more dancing and forgettable Lerner and (Frederick) Loewe songs. The film’s Color Art Direction-Set Decoration Costume Design and Sound received Oscar nominations.
