1:12

then they're just admiring their work while these women

1:16

they're like Did you

1:20

into the cabin

1:22

, that freaking Adam's

1:25

ass is like Sobbing , sobbing

1:27

women Like yeah , he's

1:29

singing the musical number about the

1:31

rape of women because

1:34

he is the biggest asshole . He

1:36

really is like . He's

1:38

like two assholes combined into one

1:40

asshole .

1:41

Like a two , three foot two men

1:44

inside of a big

1:46

leather jacket .

1:48

So he's like . So he's like three assholes

1:50

in a trench coat .

1:51

Yeah , yes , a trench coat made of

1:53

leather , and just imagine it's hot all

1:55

the time .

1:56

It smells like yak urine .

1:59

Really like spiky red hair sparsely

2:02

everywhere When he shaves , it's just

2:04

hair that he's shaving off , except for

2:06

, like the mustache , he's entirely coated

2:08

in pubic hair And

2:11

yet he's the one I like .

2:15

So you know how I like an undeniable

2:18

villain , like they're just a villain all the

2:20

way through because you can thoroughly hate them , like

2:25

he's kind of . he is the villain

2:27

. Are we the

2:29

bad people ? He's that bad people .

2:32

It's like George Bush saying Mission accomplished

2:34

.

2:37

His vibe is Mission accomplished , We've

2:41

got the women and Millie comes running

2:43

out . And she's like what the

2:46

f*** ? And

2:48

he's all like we got wives . And

2:51

it's like , oh , we forgot to get a preacher .

2:53

Yeah , and all the girls are like what the f*** ?

2:56

Right they go from and it's funny that they're

2:58

sobbing . And when they hear we forgot

3:00

to get the preacher , they sob harder .

3:04

Yeah , it's almost like they didn't want to get kidnapped .

3:06

They didn't want to get kidnapped

3:08

, but now they can't get laid either .

3:11

Right , oh , and what is it ? Millie

3:13

says the house is for the girls . All

3:16

you stay in the barn , including you , adam , and

3:18

she has this fight with him and it

3:21

causes him to just pick up and leave .

3:23

I'm going to go to the cabin up north and I'll

3:25

come back when the pass opens .

3:30

Gideon is like Millie Adam's

3:33

going up to the cabin by himself . You

3:36

got to stop him . And she's just like no

3:38

, no , if he goes , let him go . He can't

3:40

treat people this way . And this is not the first

3:42

time that he has just thought about women

3:44

as property , because he kind of saw Millie that

3:46

way .

3:47

Yeah , yeah , yeah . just a thing . you can

3:49

have My next note

3:51

, which , but okay , here

3:53

okay , but also , and the way that we are all

3:55

so solely , we're

3:59

so multifaceted . if

4:02

Gen were to be like , now

4:04

it's woman to woman , but if Jen was like , and I will

4:06

have you , I'd be like Well

4:11

, don't feel bad about it , because this movie kind of explains

4:13

my submissive tendencies .

4:15

Oh , we'll discuss . Well , like I

4:17

mean , i've just , i don't know

4:19

, like there's a part of me that like , if

4:21

I'm attracted to a guy , i have found myself

4:24

to be like like more submissive

4:26

than I need to be . Oh yeah , yeah

4:28

, and I feel bad about it . Why

4:30

.

4:30

Well , cause like do you

4:33

feel like you're giving up something ?

4:34

I feel like I'm giving up a level of autonomy , and

4:37

sometimes it's like I don't even

4:39

know the guy that well , but I'm just sort

4:41

of like , oh , oh , you're attractive . So

4:43

there's like this thing about infatuation , where

4:45

it like can last anywhere from three

4:47

to six months .

4:50

Oh , i was stupid for Jen

4:52

for like a year and a half . Yeah , maybe

4:54

two years .

4:55

You also like dated her . So

4:57

like , imagine not actually dating

5:00

your crush , you

5:02

know ?

5:02

I did act different in front of . there's

5:05

something stupid about humans where

5:08

, like I , need to immediately become

5:10

the thing that I think that person wants Right

5:13

right , and so it's like that's

5:15

what I think of when I think of like submissive tendencies

5:17

.

5:17

So I kind of I'm just sort of like like

5:20

you . Just you live in this fantasy

5:23

. Like for me , i live kind of in this fantasy

5:25

and that I have to like pull myself away

5:27

from it , you know , and

5:30

maybe find another crush , you know

5:32

.

5:32

I imagine that , whomever you

5:34

end up with , if it

5:36

is your heart's desire , i believe it will happen for you . I

5:39

think that in my brain

5:41

, the ideal person will consider your

5:45

feminist shenanigans , your autonomy , as

5:47

a beautiful thing about you and not something that

5:49

is detrimental to a relationship

5:51

.

5:52

Yeah , like I think that any relationship

5:54

I would be in where my

5:56

crush would be like that , it

5:58

wouldn't last , like I would just

6:00

be like like my my , in fact

6:03

, like the attractiveness that

6:05

I feel towards that person would just get cut in half

6:07

because they were like well , i don't really like

6:09

you because you're too outspoken for me . Man

6:11

, i'm like , oh okay

6:13

, i'm gonna go ahead and you see that corner where

6:15

nobody's standing . I'm just gonna go over there and

6:18

I'm just going to be like I

6:20

very much when I'd stop having a crush

6:22

on somebody .

6:22

It would be very much be they'd say something that

6:25

crossed my boundaries And I

6:27

might not tell you what they are . If you are like

6:29

these basic human rights are not important

6:31

to me because they are not me , i'd be like , oh

6:34

oh , everything

6:36

I thought about you is gone . It's why I thought

6:38

I was . I forget what it is . I thought

6:40

I was demisexual for a while , like just

6:42

like I fall in love with somebody's brain I

6:45

don't know if that's true Like in turn

6:47

, i mean , i do fall in love , have fallen in love with somebody's

6:49

brain , but like It's like , it's like

6:51

, it's like .

6:51

You were a lot cuter when you didn't say anything

6:53

. Oh my , it's why .

6:54

I advocate for him bows . God

6:57

bless you .

6:57

If you're kind , sweet and dumb , here's

6:59

the thing about him bows They

7:01

are not just attractive , they are not just

7:03

kind of intellectually ignorant

7:06

, but they are also very

7:08

respectful of people . And like they are

7:10

going to be like I don't really understand

7:13

, like for like . I don't like trans

7:15

people are like .

7:17

I don't understand what it means to be trans , but trans

7:19

rights you know I hate like air on the

7:22

side of being a good bro Yeah .

7:24

Like oh , that's , that's not something that I really understand

7:26

, but I trust your experiences . So

7:28

that's what I think of when I think of a him bow

7:30

. Yeah , you're not wrong .

7:32

Okay , so he's gone . She's

7:34

there with the girls . The girls are kind of locked in the

7:36

house . Okay

7:38

, so I'll . The shenanigans ensue .

7:40

Okay , But like , like valid

7:43

shenanigans , like they like

7:45

the guy , so it stops knowing the

7:47

guys are doing shoveling and everything And

7:49

, like the girls , escalate

7:52

their like frustrations by like throwing

7:54

snow . And then a couple of them Like

7:56

I'm , like I'm like you can

7:58

, like they take these chamber pots and

8:00

they dump them .

8:01

They're wash basins . They're probably wash basins

8:03

, but I daydream that they're chamber pots .

8:04

I like to imagine that that's in there and maybe

8:06

a turd , but

8:10

like , and then they start and then , like the

8:12

last three , throw snowballs

8:14

at them and they kind of wince .

8:17

Yeah , and then what the one you like , and

8:19

then he's all like y'all are wussies .

8:21

And then he gets the snowball at him and dork is

8:23

. Dork is . Yeah , it was played by Julie

8:25

Neumar . She's so f***ing hot . But

8:28

he realizes that they're they . They

8:30

, they were throwing rocks in the snowball

8:33

.

8:33

Snowballs with rocks in them And I'm like good

8:36

, good , Good , I mean .

8:37

I mean you did kidnap them . but you know , rocket

8:39

, a snowball , you know , aimed at your head

8:42

, is , you know not , is like equal now Uh-huh

8:44

.

8:45

So the girls oh , the girls are . Now

8:47

we cut to the scene where the girls are up in the room and

8:49

they're like I'm so fr***ing bored And I can't

8:52

stand that book about the Sabine women anymore

8:54

. I love it so much , I hate it , Ah

8:56

. And then they get to tussling Like they're

8:58

rolling around on the floor and Milly comes in

9:00

and she can't do that . I need all of your help because

9:03

I'm pregnant . Except she doesn't

9:05

say pregnant , I'm expecting , I'm with child

9:07

Whatever . They are all like super

9:10

, like dreamy-eyed . They all become . They're like

9:12

oh , I want to get married now . I

9:14

wish I was the one having a baby , I wish

9:16

I was going to have childbirth .

9:20

I wish I could potentially die in childbirth

9:22

Right .

9:24

Or like oh man , the child survival

9:26

rate in 1850 was not good , so

9:29

like I want to have a baby

9:31

that has like a 40% chance of living

9:33

or whatever .

9:34

We need more children to growl to what

9:36

is like you've seen Gravity Falls , right

9:39

, Yeah , but no , Yeah , there was

9:41

an episode where they do time travel and

9:43

they go back to , like , the 1800s

9:45

, And more children to towel

9:47

, to tend to the plow , you

9:49

know something like that . It was very like like

9:52

old , old timey . It

9:54

was gross . Yeah , it was hilarious .

9:56

Oh , I wish I was given my only true

9:58

duty to create an heir .

10:01

And they start competing over who

10:03

has the biggest Stockholm

10:06

syndrome .

10:09

I mean , you had a choice of ten men

10:11

all fighting for you , and now you

10:13

have one brother fighting for you

10:15

.

10:16

But they're really attractive , according to Millie , not

10:18

after they shave , not after

10:20

they kidnap you , not after they're covered

10:22

in p*** .

10:26

I can't . I don't know if we bleep

10:28

. I'm gonna keep

10:31

it in there till I figure it out

10:33

later .

10:33

June wedding I roll hand

10:36

holding and then the song where they're like spring

10:38

, spring , spring Right .

10:42

So they have this musical number where the girls

10:44

are all talking about being a June bride , and

10:46

then it goes into the fact that there's

10:48

like , oh , it takes forever to get through the winter

10:51

but they're helping Millie out and everything . And

10:53

then it goes into another musical

number about how

10:57

you know I

11:00

mean like all these

11:02

guys are just you know kind of . I mean

11:04

they kidnapped us . But I guess after

11:06

a few months of doing some hard labor we

11:09

kind of like saw that maybe we

11:11

were the , maybe we were the unreasonable

11:13

ones .

11:14

We were the brides they needed all along .

11:16

Oh my goodness , because they're like they're having

12:29

There's this Bob Dylan song that goes they

12:32

stone you when you're riding in your car

12:34

, they stone you when you're

12:37

, and that's like the whole thing , and it's just like that Bob

12:39

Dylan thing , and like one time I'm riding

12:41

in the car with Madeline probably back when we were watching

12:43

this movie a lot . And I went la

12:45

12:48

13:06

, it's um , it's one that uh .

13:08

Hey , guy the Jewish , the

13:12

Jewish American singer

13:15

, the . He has

13:17

a movie about him being

13:19

the Jewish .

13:21

American singer Mel Brooks .

13:25

Weird Al right Sweet .

13:27

Caroline , sweet Caroline

13:29

.

13:31

Yes , i can't believe you got there . Good

13:35

job , this just proves you're the other half of

13:37

my brain , i don't know . Okay , so

13:39

we , let's , hey , let's , let's have that baby

13:42

come up , right ? So they're like the baby's coming and the girls

13:44

run up and down the stairs So much hot water

13:46

, all the towels , yes , and the

13:48

boys are just pacing like pacing in their fancy

13:50

shirts And I think I like that . They got dressed up because

13:52

she's having a baby and they want to be like presentable

13:55

.

13:55

Well , like , and right before the babies come in

13:57

, they're doing the musical number , and they're

13:59

that's when they have the shirts on .

14:01

Oh , because they're courting . Yeah , they're courting , those

14:03

are our courting shirts . Okay , so it gets quiet

14:06

right , and then you hear audibly

14:11

put in a baby's smacking sound , somebody

14:16

, somebody in the sound was like you know , we're not going

14:18

to know the baby's born unless he gets smacked around

14:20

a little bit . I've

14:23

been . I've been to more than a handful of births . I have watched

14:25

the babies enter this world . No one does

14:27

that . Anybody who gets smacked

14:29

is normally the husband or partner who's getting too close

14:31

and breathing in the face of the woman who

14:33

is struggling to birth a child into this

14:35

world .

14:37

And Gideon's , like I'm an , i'm an uncle , and then

14:40

he faints .

14:40

Yes , we have a scene where everyone presents

14:42

her with gifts and the baby gifts , and somebody

14:45

made a chair , obviously .

14:46

Gideon made the chair For an infant

14:48

. For an infant , he's the youngest . Okay

14:51

, he's trying .

14:51

You know , you know what Gideon should go , do He

14:54

?

14:54

should go get Adam .

14:55

Somebody needs to get Adam .

14:57

Someone hasn't already gone up there to be like Millie's

14:59

pregnant ? Get down here .

15:05

So he's all like . Adam

15:07

is immediately just like because Millie has proven

15:10

herself to be a liar ever , right

15:12

, she's like the most good person in this whole

15:14

film , and she's all like . He's all like it's a

15:16

trick to get me to come back . And Gideon's

15:19

like no , you fucking nut

15:21

sack . I have to tell you , i

15:23

look , i , i , i always have

15:25

admired you and , and I and

15:27

I know that , to be the man you helped

15:30

raise me to be , i need to tell you how I feel

15:32

. And so he just pops him in the face , because

15:34

Gideon's the best , yeah , and he

15:36

just pops in the face and Adam like grabs him by

15:38

the collar and then it's just like he's

15:41

about to beat the shit out of him . But he's like oh

15:43

right , my brother , family and stuff I'm

15:45

supposed to be the grown up Picks him up off

15:47

the ground and sets him on top of a horse . That's

15:50

how big this fricking big

15:52

foot man is . Yeah

15:55

, oh my God . And then , and

15:57

then , and then Gideon just rides away

15:59

, sad , and , and so you know what you should

16:01

do right after you give a birth , like a day later , you

16:04

should be like stomping and clapping and

16:06

like playing musical chairs , right .

16:08

Dadada , dadadada , dadadadadada

16:10

, dadadadada .

16:12

And , like Gideon , falls on the floor because

16:14

he's so cute .

16:17

And in the middle of this moment , this happiness

16:19

, who walks through the door ? but Adam ?

16:23

Oh , adam , the boys

16:26

and girls are ushered out .

16:28

He's like . He's all like time to correct my mistakes

16:30

. I recognize that taking people against

16:32

their will is wrong .

16:34

You came up with that all by yourself .

16:36

No , he didn't . It was because of the fact that Millie

16:38

gave him the riot act like three times

16:41

this movie .

16:42

And okay . so he's like well , i was thinking about the little

16:44

girl And how , if I

16:46

had a little girl , if that was stolen from

16:48

?

16:48

me , it would make me upset .

16:50

So I decided

16:52

I have to get those girls back to their families

16:55

.

16:56

Now that I have a daughter , I'm a feminist

16:58

.

17:01

No . No Street

17:03

to jail . Street to jail

17:05

.

17:06

What I lost in penis size . I grew an empathy

17:08

.

17:10

I grew three more f*****s that day .

17:12

Now I'm six f*****s in a trench coat .

17:18

Sorry , future editing .

17:19

Jen , i know , i know I'm sorry .

17:20

Okay , the baby's name is Hannah .

17:23

It could have been Hagar or Hepsiba , and personally

17:25

I would have gone with Hepsiba . She sounds like a . she

17:28

sounds like a forest witch .

17:29

Yes , we need more witches and goblins

17:31

. That's

17:35

my goblin noise . Okay

17:38

, so they kiss . It's lovely . And now

17:40

I ? this is what I call the squirrely girl roundup .

17:43

So Adam goes out and he's like guys

17:45

, we got to go and we got to go , take the women back .

17:47

No , they have all their guns . They're like we're not going to let you do it .

17:50

And he's just like what do you think is going to happen when they come

17:52

up here ? You think there's going to be a shootout

17:54

and someone's going to get killed and you think those girls are going

17:56

to marry you .

17:57

after that I'm going to talk some sense

17:59

, which you know is like totally my character , because

18:02

I think things through Empathetic

18:05

master politician And

18:07

Gideon the one who Adam potato

18:09

chip , pepper corn Pettitois

18:12

, oh , you're asking about his last

18:14

name Pippitu Pippeto

18:17

Bipeddo

18:19

.

18:19

Periwinkle .

18:20

Papino .

18:21

Adam Periwinkle .

18:23

Periwinkle .

18:24

Portnoy , portabello Menoy menoy

18:26

, portabello road .

18:27

Portabello road .

18:27

This is from a different musical than

18:29

what we're watching right now , but

18:35

it had Angela Lansbury in

18:38

her fifties and she still looked like

18:40

a dish . So Pippadoo , no , i can't . I thought it was in here , but it's not . I thought

18:42

it was not . I thought it was not .

18:43

Oh , I think you said it earlier .

18:43

Yeah , it was a pot of E pot of E Sorry .

18:47

I like the fact that you don't remember names And

18:50

so it's fun , or like hearing

18:52

it I'm not sure , i'm not sure . I'm not sure

18:54

, i'm not sure I don't remember names and so

18:56

it's fun , or like hearing the different ones . Adam

19:02

Perigren took .

19:05

You're a fool of a took .

19:07

Oh , so he really round up , yeah

19:09

, and they go to get

19:11

the girls , but they can't be found

19:14

because they all want to stay And

19:16

it's like . It's like when they got kidnapped the first

19:19

time , but it would reverse .

19:23

So they're like pulling them out of hend houses

19:25

, they're like pulling them out of the hay and oh

19:27

, um , what's her face is laying in the hay .

19:30

And I was like I would roll in the hay with Dorcas

19:33

, oh my God . I mean like with

19:35

Ben there . that would be a nice , that'd be a nice combo .

19:38

I mean , i'm sure there's a fan fiction out there , and

19:40

if there isn't ? it might be a good way to warm up your writing

19:42

skills .

19:43

Yeah . And I would read that and I would give you

19:45

feedback . Yes , it was all

19:47

good . Oh

19:49

, so they get all of the girls

19:51

in the , in the barred , as , like the girls , like

19:54

dads and men , general .

19:55

What are ?

19:56

you going to do to them ? We're going to hang them up by the

19:58

nearest tree , and then I go .

20:00

the reverence stands up and he's like okay , we are all

20:02

fathers and brothers here , so

20:05

we hold nothing against you , but which is very

20:07

progressive for the 1850s . Cause I

20:09

, i , i guess . So He's

20:12

like I need to know . I . When we wrote

20:14

up , i heard a baby crying and no

20:16

, no judgment . But like who , who , who does

20:18

that baby belong to ? And the girls

20:21

look at each other with the same energy

20:23

as the guys looking at each other when Adam

20:25

broke the bed . They're like oh

20:27

we're , oh , some free is about to happen

20:30

. Is what that look is And and

20:32

? and . They all in unison say mine

20:36

, do

20:41

you want to do that again ? No , we're leaving it in . Okay

20:43

, so now

20:45

we cut to the living room shotgun

20:49

wedding .

20:49

Literally , that's day for a shotgun

20:52

wedding , yeah .

20:55

Okay , we're so close guys .

20:56

Okay Yeah , and it's not even two hours

20:58

.

20:59

This is a little literal miracle happening right now to do musicals

21:02

. for now We can't describe .

21:04

We're going to eventually do hello , dolly , we

21:06

get back .

21:07

Oh my gosh , oh no , okay

21:09

. So the the reverence

21:11

like do you well , lady ? No

21:14

, do you , ladies , take these gentlemen to be your spouses

21:16

? The ladies , coily , look around the men standing

21:18

behind them , to the men standing behind them , which are all

21:20

their dads with shotguns , and they all nod in

21:22

unison and they are like we do . And

21:25

do you , gentlemen , do you take

21:27

these women to be your lovely wedded wives ? and

21:29

they all do the slow crane around to look

21:31

at the dads who are all holding shotguns and admit

21:33

that the dads take one step

21:35

forward and they turn around and they're like we

21:37

do . And your guy has the

21:39

faintest of smiles on his lips and that's

21:42

the best face in the room . He's

21:44

just like they all sleep in one room . Yeah , on their wedding night debt . It is that people

21:46

arehugging things somehow .

21:53

I would like to think that

21:55

they probably like

21:57

I don't know how they would work that . I really

22:00

don't know Cause they don't , they They're still

22:02

snow outside . Yeah , what ? what one person's

22:04

gonna take the bedroom up , neck

22:06

up up on the second floor ? You got

22:08

someone in the kitchen . You

22:10

got like you got another couple in- .

22:13

Okay , let's do the math on this . Did they have enough sheets to

22:15

like oh , yeah , so , okay , okay , so Seven brothers

22:17

, that's They have 14 people , right

22:19

, six ?

22:20

six couples that actually

22:22

need their own space At this point , cause Adam

22:24

and Millie have their own Right . So you have , like , one

22:26

couple that's in the bedroom

22:29

that they all share . That's one couple . Then

22:31

you have one couple who's- .

22:33

Oh living room . Sleeping in the living room , kitchen

22:35

, kitchen , laundry room .

22:37

Laundry room .

22:38

We have two more couples . Yeah , that's the barn .

22:39

Oh , maybe one goes up to the cabin , one

22:42

goes to the Trapper cabin and the other's in the In the

22:44

barn . Okay , all right

22:46

, now it makes sense , though

22:49

I think the washroom

22:51

and kitchen are too close together , so maybe like

22:53

a couple just goes outside .

22:55

But it's still snowing . Yeah , no

22:57

, just hang a sheet , it'll be fine .

22:59

We know that they can raise a barn too .

23:02

This is upstairs in the barn and downstairs in the barn .

23:04

Yeah , oh , still Yeah

23:06

, still gross . Okay , you're gonna have to hang a

23:08

sheet . We've all been We've all done grosser things

23:10

.

23:12

Oh man , we've done grosser things .

23:14

All right , and how does this movie

23:16

end ?

23:18

Oh , they pan over to Adam

23:21

and Millie and they kiss Mm-hmm , and then it pans

23:23

out to all of the recently married couples

23:25

.

23:25

And they're kissing too .

23:27

And then it goes to the end

23:29

And we get like

23:31

two , three cards with actors' names on it

23:33

. They're listed as the wives and the brothers

23:36

, which is gross , and

23:38

then that's it . That's the end of it . That's

23:40

one hour and 58 minutes

23:42

. What the f- ? And 59 seconds ? Oh

23:45

, it's It's 159 . That

23:47

took us less than two hours .

23:50

It's because we have a hiatus coming .

23:51

Yeah like we would . We would

23:53

take a hiatus as we finally got our game

23:56

on point .

23:57

It's still like what ?

23:58

half an hour longer than the movie

24:01

right , yeah , but we did have a little bit of

24:03

non-plot walkthrough at

24:05

the beginning There

24:07

were several musical numbers , also like

24:09

a few fight scenes . So we

24:11

just need to just do this movie again .

24:16

As told by Seven Brides for seven hours . You

24:18

can't kill no dicks without

24:21

a bunch of sticks .

24:24

I'm weak , all

24:27

right . So do we still have

24:29

some more Sean facts ?

24:30

Yeah , we have , i mean not

24:32

a full butt load of Sean

24:34

facts .

24:35

Six butt loads and a trench coat at this point .

24:37

And a duffel bag according to , like some of our other

24:39

episodes .

24:41

Millie . she and Howard

24:43

Keel would later reprise their roles

24:45

in a Seven Brides for Seven Brothers stage

24:47

adaptation . She also appeared in

24:49

dancing and singing roles in many other musical

24:52

films , including Royal Wedding and

24:54

Rich , young and Pretty , and

24:56

also A Date with Judy Dorcas

24:59

. Galen is played by Julie Numar

25:01

, as we mentioned , and she is

25:03

a classically trained ballerina . she

25:05

would later rise to fame as Catwoman

25:08

in the 60s TV version of Batman

25:10

. She also won a supporting

25:12

actress Tony Award for the marriage go

25:14

round . Her singing voice for the film

25:16

was dubbed by Betty Allen , ruth

25:19

Jepsen or Rudalee

25:22

and in parentheses Sean

25:24

has Kilmonus . I think maybe

25:26

that was like a married name or something . Rudalee

25:29

appeared in the sitcom Roseanne

25:32

as the first girlfriend of Roseanne's mother

25:34

. Her singing parts for

25:36

the film were dubbed in post production by

25:38

Betty Noyes . Martha

25:40

. her singing voice for the film

25:43

was dubbed by Bobby Canvin

25:45

. She wears a green dress during

25:47

the barn raising scene . Liza

25:50

is played by Virginia Gibson . She was

25:52

nominated for a Tony Award in 57 and

25:54

performed regularly as a singer and

25:56

dancer on The Carson Show . Sarah

25:58

Keane is played by Betty Carr and

26:01

she was a Broadway veteran dancing

26:03

in Dam Yankees , happy

26:05

Hunting , mask and Gown and

26:07

Fanny . I don't know I

26:09

mean , i know some of those Her singing

26:12

voice for the film .

26:12

I know some of them words .

26:14

Man . Lots of these women had dubbed singing

26:17

voices . Hers was dubbed by Norma Zimmer

26:19

. Alice Elcott was

26:21

played by Nancy Kilgus , made

26:23

her film debut in Seven Brides for Seven

26:25

Brothers and she danced in the film versions of Oklahoma

26:28

, shake , raddala and Rock

26:30

and Alfred Hitchcock's Torn

26:32

Curtain . Her singing voice for

26:35

the film was dubbed by Mary Green

26:37

. All right From there I've

26:39

got a few more production things

26:41

. Choreographer Michael Kidd originally turned down

26:43

the film recalling in 97 . Here

26:46

are those slobs living off in the woods

26:48

. They have no schooling , they're uncouth , there's

26:50

manure on the floor , the cows come in

26:53

and out and they're going to get up and dance . We'd

26:55

be laughed out of the house . Most

26:57

of the women , excuse me , most of the movie

27:00

was shot on the MGM sound stages

27:02

and one exterior sequence was

27:04

not filmed at the studio

27:06

. It was shot on location at Corral

27:08

Creek Canyon in Sun Valley , idaho

27:11

. It was here that the escape following the brothers

27:13

kidnapping their future brides and

27:15

the avalanche that closed the pass was

27:17

filmed . For the bride's

27:19

costumes designer Walter Plunkett went

27:21

to the Salvation Army , found old

27:24

quilts and turned them into dresses . This

27:26

is a rare instance of a film from

27:28

the Hayes Production Code era that ends

27:30

with characters getting away with a crime

27:32

. The film ends with the Ponthopee

27:35

brothers happily married to the

27:37

town's women instead of going to

27:39

prison for kidnapping them . However

27:41

, since the women chose not to press charges

27:43

against them , arguably they would not

27:45

have gone to prison anyway . And

27:48

here's a little bit of information about the Hayes

27:50

Code if you're interested . The Motion Picture

27:52

Production Code was this self-imposed

27:54

industry set of guidelines for all the motion

27:56

pictures that were released between 34 and 68

27:59

. Named after the president of the Motion

28:01

Picture Association of America , will

28:03

H Hayes , the Hayes Code is a set of rules

28:05

and guidelines that Hollywood films were

28:08

made to follow . There was a set of

28:10

moral guidelines and rules that were meant to make

28:12

Hollywood pictures presentable and safe for the public

28:14

at large , which meant not covering

28:16

or featuring certain controversial

28:18

topics , themes or actions . Hayes

28:21

Code examples include keeping Catholic and

28:23

family values . No sexually

28:25

explicit content , good guys always winning

28:27

, nothing that promotes bad values or perversion

28:29

, no swearing and saying offensive

28:31

things . The code was brought to Hollywood because

28:33

of a series of scandals in Hollywood

28:36

during the 20s and concerns from people

28:38

and politicians across the nation where making

28:40

the pre-Hayes Code movies looked

28:42

bad . States were setting

28:45

up their own censorship guidelines and

28:47

Hollywood was very worried about the US government

28:49

getting involved . Hollywood producers were thinking

28:51

it was best to self-censor , so

28:53

they would hopefully prevent anyone from intervening

28:56

. In this way , they would have

28:58

had a nationwide rule book that would cover

29:01

all their bases and not have to make multiple

29:03

cuts of every film to play in different

29:06

states . In case you were wondering where the

29:08

First Amendment was during all this , it had been decided in 1915

29:11

court case that

29:13

free speech did not cover motion pictures because

29:15

they were seen solely as a business and

29:17

not an art form . And

29:19

that is Sean Fax

29:22

for quite

29:25

some time .

29:26

Sean Fax

29:29

. Sean Fax .

29:31

Well .

29:32

Should we just talk to an applause , this mother fucker

29:34

Yeah .

29:35

Anyone feel like a June bride ?

29:38

No , I feel like a November pregnant

29:40

lady .

29:42

I mean I can do . Do you guys wanna do

29:44

shocked and applause and then just kind

29:46

of move on ?

29:47

Let's do shock , shock , shock , applaud , applaud , applaud . So we end

29:49

on something amazing .

29:50

Okay , so I'll start with my shocked Like

29:53

. Even to this day , the music

29:55

is what shocks me the most because it just

29:57

sticks with me and it will stick

29:59

with me until the day that I die . Like

30:02

, what is it called in court ? And

30:04

duh , duh , duh , duh , duh , duh , duh , duh , duh

30:06

, duh . I mean the lyrics . Like what was the

30:08

name of the guy who wrote the lyrics ? Jeff

30:11

, Johnny , Johnny .

30:12

Mercer .

30:12

Johnny Mercer . Yeah

30:15

, like , i mean lyrics are just

30:17

like , but like even still that duh , duh , duh

30:19

, duh , duh , duh , duh . The

30:22

lyrics can just go ahead and

30:24

, you know , get tossed

30:26

in a snowball with a rock , but

30:31

like the music itself , the instrumentals

30:33

, you know just this very catchy and

30:36

it just it's like it's an earworm . It's

30:38

an earworm . Yeah , so like

30:40

It's rewatchable when some

30:42

musicals get really Well , i remember

30:44

like when I started really watching

30:47

this movie , i was like it

30:49

was one of my go-tos . It was up there with

30:51

like Lamez and Phantom of the Opera , really

30:53

Yeah . And then I

30:56

grew up and was like I don't know how

30:58

I feel about liking this musical

31:00

because of the dubious

31:02

consent . That was much

31:04

shocked . What about you , Naomi ?

31:07

My shocked moment might be

31:09

how much I've grown since

31:11

I first started watching this film , because

31:13

I mean there are things that I take much

31:16

umbrage with now

31:18

. But you know , 20 plus

31:20

years ago , laying around like

31:22

being much more Christian then I'm still Christian

31:24

, but like not much more Christian then

31:26

. Like laying around eating my cheesy pretzel

31:28

bites shout out to whoever makes cheesy

31:31

pretzel bites , the cheap ones that have to be in

31:33

the black package . If

31:35

I had a discussion with Naomi

31:37

then and Naomi now , it would be like very much

31:39

like . You understand that they are committing

31:41

a crime . You understand that

31:44

they are objectively

31:46

in the wrong . You understand that

31:48

these women have been placed in a spot where

31:50

they can't make a good decision for themselves

31:52

because the people who keep them in check

31:54

the people and when I say keep

31:57

them in check I mean check their you

32:00

have a support system who , like helps you

32:02

make good decisions about yourself and your life . Like you

32:04

need those people , and so when you're cut

32:06

off from those people you make , you can make

32:08

terrible decisions , and maybe they are the love of your

32:10

life , but shouldn't the love of your life respect

32:13

you enough to like do things

32:15

in a way that honors you and

32:17

doesn't dismiss you . I would be like you

32:20

understand , that's not how it's supposed to work . Like

32:22

the values they are presenting are neanderthalish

32:26

, like that it just doesn't

32:28

. You don't whack somebody on the head and drag them back to your cave

32:30

. That's not how it works . That's not how it worked in caveman

32:32

times , that's not how it works now . And

32:35

I would be like , yeah , yeah , i get it . You're such a stick in the

32:37

mud . And I'd be like yeah , i know , but growth

32:40

got me here . So sorry , young

32:42

Naomi , you're still allowed

32:44

to like this movie .

32:46

Oh , is it my turn ? I will

32:49

look back on this movie as

32:51

a prime example of

32:54

straight white cis

32:56

able-bodied privilege .

33:00

Yeah , she's not wrong .

33:03

I just like . From a historical

33:05

standpoint , this is one

33:08

of those movies that teaches a lesson

33:10

that it doesn't know . It teaches in

33:13

our age , so I'm

33:15

kind of shocked that there's something

33:17

to learn from this movie .

33:19

I can't believe how much what you just said made me think

33:21

of a big bag of Wonder Bread . This

33:24

is the Wonder Bread of musicals . Like

33:26

it's probably not good for you , but it's

33:28

probably not gonna kill you either . You can have Wonder

33:30

Bread every once in a while . It's not a crime .

33:33

Yeah , it's pretty thin on

33:35

the plot too , It

33:37

takes like three quarters of the movie to

33:39

even get to the sobbing

33:42

sisters .

33:44

The last minute of the movie you

33:46

get the actual wives of the seven brothers

33:48

.

33:49

Yeah , So

33:51

applause .

33:53

Well , i went kind of . you know I

33:55

didn't go very deep into it , but

33:57

it was . the dancing was very satisfying to watch

34:00

. Like when they get onto the platform at

34:02

the barn raising , they start like really

34:04

hitting their feet on the dance floor

34:06

and you can just hear

34:08

it and it's just like , yeah , it's really

34:10

nice . And like there's this moment

34:12

where , like when

34:14

they're struggling with this hand , with the balancing

34:17

, there's a moment where one of the great

34:19

guys and one of the brothers is like they're

34:23

like trying to show their strength but

34:25

they're balancing at the same time And so

34:28

when one of the brothers defeats

34:30

him , all these other guys come up and

34:32

they do this like flourish of , like a kick , and

34:34

then they twirl around and

34:37

then the great guy like gets

34:39

thrown off and that happens like a few more

34:41

times And it's just like . it's really satisfying

34:43

to watch . as far as like dance numbers

34:45

go And like , i will probably

34:48

not really get into

34:50

a lot of the

34:52

musicals of this era . Funny girls

34:54

is the other one that I really like , but

34:56

it doesn't . but Funny Girl doesn't have the dancing the

34:58

way that this has , cause it's a Barbara Streisand

35:00

comedy film . She's not about sheer athleticism

35:03

. Yeah , yeah , i

35:05

won't go into like the

35:08

movie musicals of this era because they're just

35:10

so plastigy and they're all just

35:12

very like I don't know , like it's

35:14

very obviously fake and not in a way

35:16

that really makes me interested . So

35:19

but I'll go back to

35:21

this one because I like to imagine that this is the

35:23

best out of all of the dancing . but I'm not actually gonna double

35:25

check that Maybe Hello Dolly has some really

35:27

great dancing and I just don't know it probably

35:30

not .

35:31

I think my applaud moment would

35:34

be okay . So , unlike Rocky

35:37

that we did last , where like it was an

35:39

event and like a cultural

35:41

marker for me and it gave me lots of style

35:44

, This movie has , like it

35:46

gives me like warm watching it with friends

35:48

vibes . Like watching it first with Madeline

35:50

, getting to share it with you , and like

35:52

getting to have it be

35:54

your first time watching it , jen . Like I just I'm

35:57

like yeah , no , and this ridiculous thing happened

35:59

And did you catch that ? And that's dumb

36:01

or that's great or like that's fascinating

36:04

or whatever . Like I just I have warm

36:06

memories of sharing this film but I don't feel

36:08

like the pressure to have it perfectly memorized

36:10

. Like there's

36:13

certain movies that are like karaoke to me , like you just

36:15

kind of have it all together for you

36:17

, but like I don't know half

36:19

the lyrics from this movie , even though I've like watched

36:21

it a bunch of times . Suck it .

36:23

Mercer .

36:24

Mercer . they're not memorable lyrics

36:27

And so like I just yeah

36:29

, what I enjoy about this movie is the warm fuzzies

36:31

I get , sharing it with other people And I know that's kind of an

36:34

answer . I've given a couple times about a couple

36:36

films , but this podcast has been like

36:38

sharing movies for

36:40

whatever compelling reason , with people I like

36:43

to talk to about movies . So , like

36:45

it's just , it's warm fuzzies for me all the

36:47

way down . She's see pretzel whites . Nice

36:49

, We were at Winco today . we could have gotten

36:51

some .

36:52

Well , golly , what do I

36:54

have to applaud

36:56

this movie , Since it's brand new to me ? I

36:59

don't have any of those fuzzy feelings towards

37:01

it . I would be

37:04

totally happy not watching this movie

37:06

again .

37:07

That's your applaud . You never

37:09

have to .

37:10

Yeah , well , yeah .

37:12

You have to listen to this podcast .

37:15

I did think that there were some very attractive people in

37:18

this movie , though , and so I

37:20

will applaud the casting .

37:22

Nice , okay , nice Well , applauders
