On the Town

Summary: This is Entertainment!!
Review: Gane Kelly and Frnk Sinatra make a great team. This movie proves that. Both have so much talent, Kelly is the dancer and Sinatra is the singer. They compliment each other. The story line is pretty good, but the dance numbers and the comedy are what make this movie excellent.

Review: I love this movie alot. Partially because I am a big fan of Gene Kelley, and Frank Sinatra but it is a really great movie. This movie, and Take Me Out To The Ball Game Are two of the best ones ever made.

Summary: On the Town Is on Top
Review: This film is not only full of wonderful music/dance numbers, but has wonderful actors (Ann Miller, Gene Kely, Frank Sinatra) and will leave you with a smile on your face. While three sailors are in town (New York) They do what most sailors do, Get up with women! They have a wonderful time on the town, with a few bumps along the way. It is the classic 1950's musical. I won't give away to much, but I will say that it is a movie that you will want to have in your movie collection, buy or rent it... JUST SEE IT!!!!!!!!!

Summary: Starring The Big Apple
Review: This was a nifty movie musical starring NYC. Marvelous songs, a great cast, inspired choreography, and wonderful real sets. Real standouts here include Sinatra, Kelly, and the wonderful and often underrated Betty Garrett. While the plot was light, its premise made great use of one of the most incredible cities in the world. If you go to NYC once, you'll probably get hooked. Before 9/11 this was a great movie. Since then it is a lasting tribute to what was and what is the biggest and best city in the world.

Summary: One of the best musicals ever
Review: I've probably seen this movie four times and each time I enjoy it more. It has a sweet vibrant energy to it and is even better than the original musical. I've listened to a few "On the Town" soundtracks and all of them sing it like it's an opera. The movie sings the way it was meant to be, broadway style. (I also should mention that this film doesn't have a soundtrack and I think that's a shame.) What makes the movie even better is the added Ann Miller number "Prehistoric Man". Sometimes I've checked the movie out from the library just to see that number alone. Why she wasn't a huge leading actress in the musicals is a shame. She had so much more charisma than the hit of the time Betty Grable, and a better voice too.
The only real thing that gets tired after every viewing is Vera Ellen, Gene Kelly boring characters. Oh well, I guess it's added to level the eccentrics.

Review: There are musicals and then there's "On the Town." The music, the dancing, and the New York City backdrop make this movie a hit!
Kelly's dancing, Sinatra's singing, and a New York story make this a magical movie indeed.

Summary: It's not "Awful"
Review: I'm an avid musical viewer and "On the Town" is one of my favorites. I love the song "You're Awful" It is such a cute song and Frank Sinatra's voice is so beautiful! I would recommend this movie to anyone. It is not like most musicals that put you to sleep! I believe that everyone should go out and buy the DVD now and witness the heavenly voice of Frank Sinatra and the nimble movements of Gene Kelly in this stunning musical known as "On the Town!"

Summary: Right On With ON THE TOWN!!!
Review: This movie is spectacular. I have been watching this since I was about 8 years old and I still love it today.

This film has an all-star cast with Ann Miller, Jules Munshin, Betty Garrett, Gene Kelly, and the "chairman of the board", Frank Sinatra.

On The Town starts out with three sailors who have one thing on their minds and only 24 hours to get it. They are determined to find the girl of their dreams and hit a homerun within 24 hours!! Seem impossible?? Not with these guys.

This film guides you through the treasures of New York, complete with a dance routine on top of the Empire State Building. By the end of the night, they end up at Coney Island running from the cops.

Music, great acting and choreography makes this film a sure classic and a must for a video collection. If you would like to see these actors paired up again, check out Take Me Out To The Ballgame, another "homerun".

Summary: 24 hours in 90 minutes.
Review: So many things make this an unforgettable film: a thoroughly integrated musical score (song and dances which actually advance the film's plot and aren't self-contained diversions), the decision to film in actual NYC locations, snappy dances, slightly corny songs- but hey, it's a musical, not brain surgery. The plot *is* anorexic, with three sailors on a 24-hour shore leave- but part of its exhilaration is the fact that we get to follow their 24 hours every step of the way (with a clever Wall-Street timestrip crawling along at the bottom of the screen). We see "Miss Turnstiles," we get involved in her search, and we simultaneously see new romances develop without missing a beat. My favorite scene, by far, is with Ann Miller, doing a FULL-SCALE TAP ROUTINE in an art museum in a flashy green dress- with a backup chorus, yet!! The film sags a bit in the third half, but that has a lot to do with the fact that MGM's Louis Mayer insisted on cutting and replacing most of the original score- primarily in the film's first 60 minutes. (I also recently learned that Mayer didn't approve of the original Broadway characters because one couple was interracial, but what could you do back in 1949?) At the end of the 24-hour shore leave, I'm always just a little sad. That's why you have to own this one and make the memories last forever.
