Love Notes_ A Sweet Enemies To - Gracie Graham....

Often seen as trite and sexist by contemporary standards, the story for this widescreen M-G-M musical directed by Stanley Donen centers on a 1850s backwoods family of lovestruck young men who resort to kidnapping to marry their sweethearts, cloistered away by the local townsfolk to protect them from the unsavory brothers. Outstanding musical numbers choreographed by Michael Kidd -- particularly the rousing barn-raising dance -- prove to be its most enduring quality. Howard Keel and Jane Powell star as the eldest brother and his new wife, and the remaining cast is comprised of top dancers including Russ Tamblyn, Tommy Rall, Jacques d'Amboise.

Let each of them return to his house in peace.'" 27 and say, 'Thus says the king, "Put this man in prison and feed him sparingly with bread and water until I return safely."'" 28 Micaiah said, "If you indeed return safely the LORD has not spoken by me."

And Jehu said, "What have you to do with peace? Turn behind me." And the watchman reported, "The messenger came to them, but he did not return." 19 Then he sent out a second horseman, who came to them and said, "Thus says the king, 'Is it peace?'" And Jehu answered, "What have you to do with peace? Turn behind me." 22 When Joram saw Jehu, he said, "Is it peace, Jehu?" And he answered, "What peace, so long as the harlotries of your mother Jezebel and her witchcrafts are so many?" 31 As Jehu entered the gate, she said, "Is it well, Zimri, your master's murderer?" 2 Kings 10:13 Jehu met the relatives of Ahaziah king of Judah and said, "Who are you?"
