Brigadoon

I am another one who remembers this wonderful production when I was a child. I also had the cast album. I think my favorite song was "My Mother's Wedding Day" sung by "Meg Brockie" - Marlyn Mason. What a hoot! Notice that was the one song that was left out of the Gene Kelly/Cyd Charisse version! I guess it was just a touch racy. Its funny, but for years I couldn't get anyone to believe that there had ever been another version of Brigadoon besides the Kelly/Charisse version. I almost thought that I had dreamed it, but then I would look at the album cover and KNOW i was right! Even my mom didn't believe me - and she had watched it with me!

And yes, I dearly wish this was available on VHS or DVD!

YIPPEE!!! There are 9 pieces of it on YOUTUBE - including Charlie singing Come To Me Bend To Me to Jeannie!!

I watched the movie in 196?. I believe it was a Hallmark production. I immediately sent for the vinyl record which I still have. It was one of the finest musical productions I have ever seen. Is there anything that can be done to convince them to show this wonderful movie again and make it available for purchase? I fell in love with Sally Ann Howes after seeing that movie. The entire cast was magnificent.I would love to see it again.Perhaps if enough people were to contact Hallmark they could be convinced to play it again on TV.Strangely enough I have never seen the Gene Kelly and Cyd Charisse version but somehow I feel that it would not compare with this one.

I saw this in 1966..I was 13...just discovering my love for the theatre...and for a girl in my 8th grade class. A very heady collision. I have since seen the film...(ouch)...seen the 1980 B'way revival...(excellent!!)!...been in the show...and directed it as well. This was a fine accounting of the show. Goulet was at the top of his game..the last of the 60s leading men..Peter Falk was the PERFECT Jeff...and Sally Anne Howes was lovely...It played on TV like a real theatre piece...not as a film...and it prospered by that..it was cut severely...but judiciously....retaining the best of the show...(though its full text is wonderful)...the arrangements were altered a bit for Goulet's style...such as Almost Like Being in Love...which has a strict, even tempo as written.....this version pushed the tempo quite a bit...and it worked.... but..you won't find a better accounting of There But For You Go I...

I watched it....and wanted to be Tommy Albright..at 13...and now..at 51...I have finally found my Fiona..and I adore her.

Also: I still have the LP..somewhat worn....in 1966..you could buy it at any Armstrong Flooring outlet...for....$1!!!..as a promo for the TV show.

I am 57 years old and remember enjoying this movie. It was presented by Armstrong (Circle Theater?) and I still have a copy of the 33 record album. Has anyone found a way to get a copy of the movie? I tried the searching Armstrong Circle Theater, but only got notes of the movie having been made. Perhaps should contact Armstrong Flooring. I can be reached at mistysynj001@hawaii.rr.com. Thank you.

Similarly, I am also looking for a copy of a movie called "Sergeants Three" which starred Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Junior, and Joey Bishop (the Rat Pack). It was a Western version of "Gunga Din," - almost word for word.

I was the audio engineer on this production and enjoyed every minute of working on it. Robert Goulet was extremely professional and very nice to work with, as were all the cast members. Fielder Cook was an excellent director and catered to my wishes for carefully crafted audio. We shot the production at CBS Television City, in Los Angeles, plus location shooting. It was aired on ABC. Unfortunately, I did not keep a copy of it. I believe ABC destroyed the original but, if anyone out there ever locates a copy, please let me know. I would dearly love to have it in my files. Thank you.
