Brigadoon
Two
Americans, Tommy Albright and his pal Jeff Douglas, chance upon
a small Scottish village in a Highland mist. They discover, mainly
from the village schoolmaster Mr Murdoch, that Brigadoon is an
enchanted place that only comes to life for one day every hundred
years. Tommy and Jeff meet Fiona MacKeith and Meg Brockie, and
Tommy and Fiona soon find in each other a deep understanding.
We follow the villagers through a day that includes a wedding
and learn that if one of the inhabitants should leave Brigadoon
the spell will be broken for ever. There is near disaster when
a young embittered Scot tries to take his revenge. He dashes towards
the forest but is killed making his escape. Happiness is changed
to mourning. Tommy has by now fallen deeply in love witb Fiona
but he is told he cannot stay. He goes back with Jeff to New York
and quarrels with his fiancee. Suddenly in a New York bar he sees
a vision of Fiona and comes to a decision. He knows he must return
to Scotland. There by the power of love he reawakens the slumbering
Brigadoon just long enough for him to be reunited with Fiona.
