PORCH PONDERINGS

Kilts.

Brigadoon. The city in Scotland that is seen only once every 100 years. And only for one day. Seems kind of goofy. This is an adaptation of a stage play.

That is the movie for tonight on TCM. What a great musical. Singing, dancing. Romance. Simple pleasures, no big giant propane explosions, and no blood and guts.

Two men from New York stumble upon this mystical city when lost in Scotland while hunting. And of course, there is romance and mystery. Singing and dancing. And not just anyone dancing, there's the duo of Gene Kelly and Cyd Charisse. Great costumes, Scottish accents.

A great way to spend the evening. I have to keep watching to find out why the town is only seen once every century. Oh, and to see the men in kilts. Don't forget those kilts.
