B&W film -- Town in Scotland that comes back every 100 years?

[16vrs]

I remember a film as a kid about a town in Scotland that is found by lost travelers. This town only comes back once every 100 years.. Sorry I cant give more info on it but it's been over 30 years since I seen it myself...

Thanks to who can name it.....

Brigadoon?

It is definately Brigadoon, but it is in color.

It could have been seen on a B&W set

Yeah that could be it... that old trick with sweet rapers didn't work...
will see if Brigadoon is it but can't remember it being a musical...

another idea

IIRC the 'Douglas Fairbanks Junior Presents' anthology series (these were transmitted all over the place in the 50s/60s/70s ITV schedules ) did a similar 30 min story and was in B/W

There was also a televison version of the musical starring Robert Goulet, Peter Falk, and Frank Finlay, but that was in color also. It used to be on youtube, but no longer is there. It might have seemed less like a musical because it was closer to the stage version, which had very little dancing. The Gene Kelly movie of course focused on dancing.


Fine atmosphere and wonderful production, 30 April 2000

Like a previous commentor, I also remember seeing this in the late 60's, whether on it's first showing or a later one I'm not positive, but for over 30 years it's lived in my memory as a wonderful experience. Very different than the Hollywood version, this Brigadoon was quietly romantic and vividly atmospheric. With Robert Goulet and Sally Ann Howes, of course there was singing, but not in the Hollywood production number style. They sang with an inner power that didn't overpower; in fact, I had quite a crush on Robert Goulet after seeing this TV production. It evidently is not available for purchase anywhere, and I would dearly love to see this again.

Brigadoon 1966 Goulet Faulk version., 19 July 2007

I'm from Scotland, & the Kelly version just didn't have it, even although it was entertaining, but the 1966 Goulet version was more realistic & caught the essence of the highlands, I know because, I was a youth hostel member & my happiest memories are when my group of mates & I would travel all over the highlands, magic. With movies that run hundreds of times on our TV over & over again, I can't believe they keep this gem under wraps. I would pay any one $100 if they could send me a copy taken in the 1966 version. Again it's difficult to believe the powers at be pass up the opportunity to make millions of dollars on this film. I remember the movie played twice in the one day, & as I sat there enjoying my vicarious journey to my childhood homeland my heart just swelled with joy. Walter White email < ww76@sbcglobal.net
