Brigadoon
I got to watch one of the first musicals that I remember seeing, (on TV), as a kid. Brigadoon was for me my introduction to kilts. I know that the story is purely romanticism and fantasy, not to mention Hollywood in general, but I remember thinking it would be so cool to own and wear a kilt.
The movie also had two of my favorite stars in it, Gene Kelly (who should have worn a kilt at some time in the film) and Cyd Charisse, a star of great talent and beauty. I never understood why Gene Kelly had to go back to Brigadoon. Had I been in his shoes and Cyd Charisse was saying she was in love with me, I would never had left the place once I found it.
Who knows, maybe I will go to sleep tonight and wake up one-hundred years later in a place where love truly can work miracles just like in the movies. Hope you all have a great week ahead of you.
