Remake This, Not This! Brigadoon (1954)

Remake This...

Bosley Crowley of The New York Times found "it equally hard to say why the film made from that [stage] triumph is so curiously flat and out-of-joint, rambling all over creation and seldom generating warmth or charm." "Among the more noteworthy points are the score [...] and the stage-type settings that represent the plot's Highland locale. The latter are striking, even though they are the major contribution to the feeling that this is a filmed stage show, rather than a motion picture musical," Variety criticized a little more kindly, although finding Gene Kelly's singing and choreography as "less noteworthy." Regardless, Brigadoon (1954) was only moderately successful at the box office winning cinematographer Joseph Ruttenberg his fourth Academy Award at the age of 69.
