This was one of my very favorite movies when I was in grade school and it continues to be extremely entertaining to me. The choreography is by the amazing Michael Kidd and the actors who play the 7 brothers are also extremely talented dancers.
The scene opens on the dancing portion of a barn raising. The brothers have come in from the country to help the folks in a nearby city, but they've got their hearts set on more than building a barn. They are trying to be civil and win the girls through gentlemanly competition which is unusual for them, because, as country folk, they usually just duke it out to get what they want. The oldest brother has married and his wife is being a mentor of sorts for the other brothers as they struggle along the road to becoming the men that the city girls would want for husbands.
This clip is about 6 minutes long, so take some time out and please enjoy. I'm sure it will make you smile.
