They are, however, anxious to get wives of their own.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAfter Adam reads about Roman capturing of Sabine women, he hatches a plan for his brothers – kidnap whoever they want to marry and bring them back to the cabin.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eu0026quot;Seven Bridges for Seven Brothersu0026quot; is, today, somewhat of a classic; Stanley Donen adapts the screenplay by Albert Hackett, Frances Goodrich and Dorothy Kingsley; their combined efforts are superb.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI have grown up on this film and was surprised at the fact that, after having seen it very recently, it continues to hold up as well as it did when I was younger. I recommend it to everyone of all ages – itu0026#39;s funny, charming, sweet-natured and very enjoyable.”
