On the Town (1949)

New York, New York, it`s a wonderful town - especially when sailors Gene Kelly, Frank Sinatra and Jules Munshin have a 24-hour shore leave to see the sights... and when those sights include Ann Miller, Betty Garrett and Vera-Ellen.

Co-directed by Kelly and Stanley Donen, based on the Broadway hit and set to an Academy Award-winning adaptation score, On the Town changed the landscape of movie musicals, opening filmmakers` eyes to what could be done on location. And when brilliant location and studio production numbers are blended, it could be - as here - ebullient, up-and-at-`em perfection. The Bronx is up and the Battery`s down, but no one can be down after going On the Town.
