Gene Kelly, Van Johnson and Cyd Charisse recapture the other worldly charm of the 18th Century Scottish Highlands in this timeless fantasy produced, written and directed by the Academy Award-winning team of Arthur Freed, Alan Jay Lerner and Vincente Minnelli. Kelly and Johnson, as two cynical hunters from New York City, stumble upon the ethereal village of Brigadoon, which materializes from the mists only one day each hundred years. There, Kelly falls in love with the town's prettiest lass, Fiona (Charisse), and must decide whether to return to the only home he's ever known...or stay with the only girl he'll ever love. Filled with breathtaking scenery and the incomparable music of Oscar winner Frederick Loewe, Brigadoon is an enchanting musical classic that will regale your senses and capture your heart!

Editor's Note
Romance blooms for an American who stumbles upon a magical Scottish village visible for one day every hundred years. Bagpipes and brogues abound in the Technicolor Highlands, and the Lerner and Loewe score makes this one of the most underrated of the grand 1950s musicals.
Plot Summary
The highland village of Brigadoon normally remains invisible, sleeping in the Scottish mists. But one day in every one hundred years, the town magically materializes. And when that day of joyful celebration ends, Brigadoon vanishes from the countryside and returns to its slumber. There's only one catch: no native can leave the village or it will disappear forever.| A pair of American hunters stumble upon Brigadoon on the single day it's come to life, and when one of them falls for a lovely lass, he is tempted to take refuge there. But then a jealous villager attempts to escape, endangering the entire town... and destroying the wonder that was Brigadoon.
