CLASSICS-Brigadoon

The Front Row Network

Front Row Classics is taking a look at one of the most underrated of MGM's great output of movie musicals. Brandon is joined by jazz singer Mary-Catherine Pazzano and her husband Dana Harrison to discuss 1954's Brigadoon. Vincente Minnelli's adaptation of the classic Lerner & Loewe musical is a mixed bag of highs and lows. Gene Kelly gives one of his finest acting performances while Cyd Charisse delivers some of her finest on-screen dancing. We also discuss the differences between the stage and screen versions and why Van Johnson practically steals the movie.
