Seven Brides for Seven Brothers Trivia Questions & Answers

Answer: June

Winter lingers on and on in the mountains. The captive women sing, "April showers will come, so they say. But they don't. And it's May." It's in the next month that they snow finally melts and Milly has her baby.

Answer: Caleb

He also had the shortest blanket.

Answer: Hannah

They name her Hannah. It is a bible name and is next in alphabetical order after the brothers' names. They are picking up where Adam's parents left off.

Answer: Ephraim

In the song "Spring, Spring, Spring" several of the brothers sang solos to their brides-to-be. According to the CD booklet released with the Original Motion Picture Sound Track, the beautiful voice heard here is not that of actor Jacques d'Amboise, who played Ephraim, but one of several singers whose voices were dubbed in to substitute for some of the actors. It is not clear from this source which vocalist sang Ephraim's line, but non-acting vocalists credited in this song include M. Spergel, C. Parlato, Robert Wacker, Alan Davies, Gene Lanham, and Bill Lee.

Answer: Benjamin

Benjamin, Jeff Richards, was not a dancer, so he was strategically placed at the back of the group during the barn dance.

Answer: The boy's winter underwear

Millie has already stolen the brothers outer clothes, and has them drying on the line. She offers an exchange of a full breakfast for the boy's winter long johns, which she threatens to come in and get herself!

Answer: Plutarch's "Lives"

Milly's father left her "Plutarch's 'Lives' and the Bible" when he died. From the Bible she learned not to cast her pearls before swine, and from Plutarch her brothers-in-law learned that kidnapping is an acceptable form of affection.

Answer: Buckets of tears

The brothers were singing 'And the women were sobbin', sobbin', sobbin'....' about the story Adam had told them out of the 'Sobbing Women'

Answer: Guns

The brothers have won the girls over. After a long winter cooped up together they fell in love. When the fathers of the girls arrive to rescue them in the spring, they hear a baby crying. The fathers ask the town girls who the baby belongs to, and all of the girls say the baby is theirs. So all the brothers and the town girls have a shotgun wedding!

Answer: Adam

Adam was already married. Upon observing his brothers displaying their newly-obtained good manners to the town girls at the barn raising, Adam said wryly to Millie, "Shall I escort you to the ball, ma'me?" She said it wouldn't hurt for him to learn some manners, too. His memorable reply - "What do I need manners for? I already got me a wife!"

Answer: All of the brides.

Since they all claim the crying baby as their own, the brides are "forced" to marry the brothers in a shotgun wedding.

Answer: a parson

After successfully getting their girls back to the farm, Gideon realized who they had forgotten and yelled, "Adam! We forgot to get the parson!"

Answer: Isaac

Adam's parents' (after much discussion) compromised and chose to name their children according to the letters of the alphabet, as long as they were in the Bible. So Isaac would be the next name in line, if the child was a boy.

Answer: Hannah

Both Hagar and Hepsebah were suggested, picking up where the Pontipee parents left off, but Adam wisely chose to stick with Hannah.

Answer: Paris, France

Milly was singing the song and she said 'going dancing' and one of the brothers asked 'You mean men are learning how to dance?' And Milly answered 'Yes it came direct from Paris, France.'

Answer: Adam, Caleb, Daniel

All the others were clean shaven.
