- Jimmy Thompson, Brigadoon, 1953. The South African Maule was in as the bridegroom, Charlie Chisholm Dalrymple – then out. How lucky, he was. The film flopped; great first half, lousy second. Gene Kelly starred and choreographed and gave almost the most energetic (all male) number, ‘I’ll Go Home with Bonnie Jean,’ to Thompson. He’d also been a stand out doing ‘Beautiful Girl’ in Singin’ in the Rain. And then disappeared.
