Seven Brides for Seven Brothers (1954)

This is another film which I think I watched before this project started, based on the fact that I'd heard its name in so many places before, that it must be good. It largely follows the same predictable type of boy-eventually-gets-girl formula used so often at the time. 

The one scene which makes the film worth it is the barn raising scene. This scene has pretty much naught to do with the rest of the film, except for being an exciting plot device. On that level it works. The rest of the film is still pretty flat, though.
