During the 1850s, Milly (Jane Powell), a pretty young cook, marries Adam (Howard Keel), a grizzled woodsman, after a brief courtship. When the two return to Adam’s farm, Milly is shocked to meet his six ill-mannered brothers, all of whom live in his cabin. She promptly begins teaching the brothers proper behavior, and most importantly, how to court a woman. But after the brothers kidnap six local girls during a town barn-raising, a group of indignant villagers tries to track them down.
Accompanying the exhilarating dancing is a fine set of songs, sung with panache, that are memorable for days afterwards. – BBC.com
This is a happy, hand-clapping, foot-stomping country type of musical with all the slickness of a Broadway show. – Variety
