Review of Brigadoon

Brigadoon (1954)
1/10
I couldn't believe how horrendous it was
25 May 2005
Recently saw Brigadoon for the first time in many years and I was truly appalled by how awful it was. A ludicrous American parody of Scotland and Scots (on par with Monty Python's French Castle dwellers in Holy Grail except that WAS supposed to be funny), ridiculous costumes, weird over the top accents (a strange mixture of American, Irish and that clown Harry Lauder), stupid story, atrocious dialogue, some dreadful songs and endless mock Highland dancing. Obviously filmed in that well known Scottish beauty spot GELN Hollywood, festooned with painted backdrops. In keeping with the story, Brigadoon should only be shown for one day every hundred years.
