Goofs:
Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): In the final scene, when the six brothers are marrying the girls, Gideon and Alice both look behind them for the approval of the fathers. However, there are only five fathers behind them because Alice's father is the parson and in front of them.

This is one of the finest directed by Stanley Donen with great stars like Howard Keel, Jane Powell with wonderful dances. The ensemble dancing takes the show, and I remember Russ Tamblyn so well because that redheaded star shown bright with his athletic tumbling and dance routines, notably the log tumbling. The girls did a great ballet, too! After all these years it's a pleasure to view this once more. I give it 9/10.
