Advent Calendar: 3rd December _ ๐๐คถ๐
๐ผ๐ Day 3 of the Christmas countdown
Hello dear friends,
here is the third image of my Advetnt Calendar, a cheerful Christmas countdown with quotes from novels and movies I love.
This time I chose a classic movie from old Hollywood, the musical SEVEN BRIDES FOR SEVEN BROTHERS.
The screenplay, by Albert Hackett, Frances Goodrich and Dorothy Kingsley, is based on the short story "THE SOBBIN' WOMEN" by Stephen Vincent Benรฉt, in turn based on the ancient Roman legend of the Rape of the Sabine Women.
THE STORY: 1850, Oregon Mountains (United States ). The story tells us about the Pontipee Brothers, all beautiful and a little wild, so much so that they seem more like a tribe than a normal family.
When they go down to the village one day, they soon fall in love with the village girls and start a fight with their boyfriends.
Returning to the mountain, the woodcutters feel they are suffering from lovesickness and the older brother, already engaged, suggests they kidnap the girls, as the Romans did with the Sabine women.
The movie offers beautiful dance choreographies and beautiful songs and with the snowy landscapes it enters the Christmas atmosphere very well.
The quote I chose is funny and romantic at the same time, since is spoken by a simple lumberjack, who doesn't know much about good manners with ladies, but understands perfectly how true love leaves its marks on the heart.
If you like this image you can download it by clicking on the preview and print it to use i as a bookmark.
