Today's NYTimes Best 1176 Film was Stanley Donen's

Seven Brides For Seven Brothers (1954)

This is an enduring example of MGM musicals at their best.

The focus here is on dance as well as music. Very nicely done.

There are no spots that lag. Everything moves along quickly.

It is a little politically incorrect but, since it is a period piece, pioneers and all, it is not noticeably offensive. Not to me anyway, but I am a guy.

Howard Keel stars. He was a Palm Springs fixture when we were first here. A nice guy or so he seemed from a distance.

I saw this when it first came around and remembered a lot of it. I enjoyed it and I don't need to see it again.

That makes it a 3 out of Netflix5.
