An amazing cast, with equally amazing songs, music and dance numbers (all of which distract from the lack of a complicated story), On the Town is an excellent musical movie.

The story, as is typical of these types of movies, in unbelievable --- three navy men on 24 hour leave in New York, who meet and fall for the women they encounter. Gene Kelly is on a hunt for the woman he see... read more

Description: Amazon.com essential video New York, New York--it's a helluva town; the Bronx is up and the Battery's down; the people ride in a hole in the ground.... Well, you get the idea. Those lyrics (by Betty Comden and Adolph Green), set to Leonard Bernstein's music, have made On the Town a permanent part of the psychological landscape of New ... (more)

My Movie Diary: 2/13 (status: closed) (65 movies items)

"2/16/13 Kelly, Sinatra and Munshin play three sailors on leave in NYC who, naturally, meet three attractive ladies and, not only have a grand old time, but fall in love, too. Numerous song-and-dance routines (this is a musical, after all) showcase the talents of all included here. It's infectiously fun and one of Kelly and Sinatra's best. This also stars the incredibly beautiful and talented Ann Miller as one of the ladies."

"I am going to keep this brief. You cannot get much better than this cast where everyone brings their own element to the film and makes it that much better. From their singing, to their dancing and comedy, this cast delivered. You want a musical that is pure fun, this is a great one to watch! And of course Frank Sinatra always has a song that just makes me melt and I love Betty Garrett. "
