3-Seven brides for seven brothers- (1954)
This is one of the classic musical films of all times. Adam, one of seven brothers, brings back to his ranch his new bride (Milly). When she gets to Adam’s home, she is shocked at the brothers’ wild behaviour and she embarks on a mission to turn these ranch wild men into perfect gentlemen.

Two different versions of the same movie for different tastes. A young and gorgeous Elizabeth Taylor is the bride in the original 1950 version of the movie, directed by Vicente Minelli. In 1991, Steve Martin made a light hearted and comic remake of the movie.
