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.

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 sees on a subway poster, unable to enjoy the sights of the city until he finds her (and he does find her)....and then loses her....and then finds her again --- but who cares if the story is believable when you can see Gene Kelly singing and dancing, along with his co-stars?

Rating : 10/10

Los números musicales se integran perfectamente en el argumento de la película, dándole continuidad, algo que hasta entonces no era habitual, y los diálogos están plagados de ironía y humor (destaco el chiste sobre Ava Gardner y ...Read more
