Review of Anchors Aweigh (1945) by Joel A — 24 Mar 2012
Still reeling from the excitement of Sinatra and Kelly - singing, dancing, and romancing, as the caption says. I loved the quiet, shy Frank Sinatra. The poor fellow, getting tutored in love from the scheming, sneaky Gene Kelly.
But - what dancing! What excitement! The stretches of musical routine fit perfectly into the story - the classical music from Jose Iturubi (thrilling!), the cartoon sequence (a little stretched-out, but crazy unique and effective), Kelly's dance to Kathryn Grayson (wonderfully blended into the real-life tale).
Love the Navy, love the little boy who adored Kelly, love the happy, happy feeling I get watching it!
