Music reviews of Seven Brides for Seven Brothers (1954 Film Soundtrack)

Music Review: Wall Of Sound
Rating: 5 Stars

It's a great show, hands down one of the best original movie musicals of the 1950s. Instead of depending on an existing Broadway show, the creators decided to do it themselves, and the result was movie magic. The always creative Stanley Donen seemed driven to recreate American masculinity on the screen, and he found the perfect dance partner in Michael Kidd, whose energetic, acrobatic dances were a sensation and still look terrific today. As dancers, the men come off better than the women, who are hampered by some weird looking costumes and when they're trying to look pretty have to simper around in plushy pastels, like a living row of Nicco wafers.

On the soundtrack, we miss the dancing but there are some wonderful dance arrangements that will get your feet a-tapping. Best of all ghe absence of visuals allows us to concentrate on the classic tunes themselves, which while watching the movie play second fiddle to the subordinate elements. Howard Keel and Jane Powell have melodic, achingly lyrical voices and are each given several opportunities to really wail out--they should have worked with Phil Spector!

Jane's voice, sometimes wobbly or piercing in lesser recordings, is perfection here; Keel probably sings a bit better in ANNIE GET YOUR GUN or KISS ME KATE, but that's only technique: he sounds like he's having a blast. The mixed choruses are charming and Johnny Mercer's lyrics are simply crazy--not over the top as they would be for LIL ABNER, just crazy. If the plot is sometimes criticized as being unseemly, since the theme of rape is treated so casually and humorously, you don't hear much of that on the soundtrack, not until you hear Mercer's original lyrics for "The Sobbin' Women." That will open your eyes and ears! Mercer, by many accounts rather a pig of a human being, came honestly by his reputation as a poet; his lyrics embody the American pastoral in the Cold War, postwar period.

Thank Goodness they were able to find some of this stuff in the trunk. But even without it you would still have one heck of a show album.
