Back To Index On the Town
 Barnes & Noble "New York, New York, its a wonderful town..." -- and this is a wonderful film. With exhilarating location shooting that captures the wonders of the city -- unheard of for a Hollywood musical in 1949 -- as well as memorable tunes and engaging performances by Gene Kelly, Frank Sinatra, and Jules Munshin, this tale of three sailors trying to make the most of 24 hours leave in the Big Apple bursts with energy. Of course, each gob meets a gal who catches his eye, and romantic desires, dalliances, and delights fill this very special day. Based on a Broadway hit, the film was codirected by Kelly and Stanley Donen, the team that would bring us Singin in the Rain. The rich choreographic inventions include the "Miss Subways" ballet and a joyful group number atop the Empire State Building. Winner of an Oscar for Best Score, On the Town is one of the jewels to come out of MGM in its heyday. Karen Backstein Interested in the song lyrics? - Check out themostlyrics.com!
