Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Americans Tommy Albright and Jeff Douglas, on a hunting vacation in Scotland, discover a quaint and beautiful village, Brigadoon. Strangely, the village is not on any map, and soon Tommy and Jeff find out why: Brigadoon is an enchanted place. It appears once every hundred years for one day, then disappears back into the mists of time, to wake up to its next day a century hence. When Tommy falls in love with Fiona, a girl of the village, he realizes that she can never be part of his life back in America. Can he be part of hers in Brigadoon?

Did You Know?
| Trivia | MGM siphoned money intended for Seven Brides for Seven Brothers (1954) on the assumption that "Brigadoon" would be the big hit of the year. However, Brigadoon did not even break even in the United States, while "Seven Brides" was a big box office hit. See more » |
| Goofs | In response to the first Anachronism re: date of 1754. In the original play, it was 1747, as the play opened on Broadway March 13, 1947. The law prohibiting the tartans, kilts, bagpipes and arms went into effect in late 1746/early 1747. Tartan trews and kilts would have still been worn. As an aside, Roman Catholicism was practiced by many clans, and Protestantism was practiced by other clans. Catholic & Scottish Episcopalian clans tended to be supporters of the Jacobites (losers of the battle/war) and Protestants were supporters of the Hanoverians. The Campbells (the family name in the play) were supporters of the Hanoverians, delaying their proscription of wearing Highland clothing. See more » |
