Frank - the funniest one, cute, awesomely hysterical expressions
Caleb - rugged, kept his Van Dyke beard, very good dancer
Gideon - the baby face of the bunch, acrobatic and a hottie
Ephraim - best butt of the bunch, speaking voice was dubbed, but he was the best dancer, imho
Daniel - cutie, too. kept his porn mustache
Benjamin - the hottest of the bunch, has that Lil Abner look to him. Watch the film, he and Adam are the only two who dance very little. In dance scenes, Ben is in the back and hidden. Even though, he's hot hot hot. Julie Newmar was no fool to pick him.
Adam - the big blowhard of the family, knows what he likes and gets it, he can marry me 5 minutes after meeting me too. But he would have to keep his beard or at least a Van Dyke beard...

Yes, I would love to be trapped in his motion picture. 7 brothers... odds are one was a fruit. My money is on Gideon.

I don't know if any of the brothers were gay, but one of the dancers is! Tommy Rall, who plays Frank, is openly gay.

Caleb is my favorite. One of little JW's earliest screen crushes. He also had a bit part (sans beard) in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. He was one of the shirtless athletes in the “Anyone Here for Love?" number. I have a picture somewhere. I’ll post it when I get home.

He is also a helluva dancer. Has a great part in Kiss Me Kate and with Bob Fosse and Bobby Van a great sance number in the middle of the film (with Carol Haney, Jeanne Coyne (both assistants to Gene Kelly) and Ann Miller)

I heart Tommy Rall.
