Based on the Stephen Vincent Benét short story "The Sobbin' Women," which sunny musical comedy features dance numbers that incorporate barn-raising, wood-chopping, and other rural pursuits?

Released in 1954, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers is about a large frontier family in 1850s Oregon. When one son comes home with a wife, his six brothers decide they each need one too. The film is especially remembered for Michael Kidd's unique choreography, but its music by Saul Chaplin and Adolph Deutsch is also notable: the score beat out There's No Business Like Show Business and A Star is Born (among others) at that year's Oscars.
