A quick look at the critical reception shows a mixed/positive reception, and I can understand that. Buying into Brigadoon requires you to accept the complete unreality of the world, and a camera that largely remains stationary in order to absorb the masterful dancing.

Description: Vincente Minnelli’s sublime adaptation of the classic Lerner and Loewe musical stars Gene Kelly as Tommy Albright, a New York office worker who, while on vacation in the Scottish Highlands, stumbles upon the mythic town of Brigadoon, an enchanted village that only appears for one day every one hundred years. When he falls in love with a local lass (Cyd Charisse), Tommy finds himself torn between reality and this newly discovered dream world. Graced with painterly visuals and lilting tunes (including the swooning “Almost Like Being in Love”), BRIGADOON is an enchantingly poignant expression of Minnelli’s most resonant the ... (more)

Buying into Brigadoon requires you to accept the complete unreality of the world, and a camera that largely remains stationary in order to absorb the masterful dancing.
