<P> In his introduction to a showing on Turner Classic Movies on January 17, 2009, host Robert Osborne, as well as Jane Powell in her autobiography, The Girl Next Door, both say MGM was much less interested in Seven Brides than it was in Brigadoon which was also filming at the time, even cutting its budget and transferring the money to the Lerner and Loewe vehicle . </P> <P> Most of the movie was shot on the MGM sound stages . One exterior sequence not filmed at the studio was shot on location at Corral Creek Canyon in Sun Valley, Idaho . It was here that the escape following the brothers' kidnapping their future brides and the avalanche that closed the pass was filmed . </P> <P> On the 2004 DVD commentary, Stanley Donen states that the film was originally shot in two versions, one in CinemaScope and another in normal ratio, because MGM was concerned that not all theaters had the capability to screen it . Despite the fact that it cost more than the widescreen version to make, he says, the other version was never used . However both versions are available on the 2004 DVD release . </P> <P> The dresses worn by the female cast were made from old quilts that costume designer Walter Plunkett found at the Salvation Army . </P>
