Review of On the Town (1949) by Codyzamboni — 27 Jul 2019
Silly, but good fun MGM musical, that benefits greatly from its' opening on location scenes in New York, and the great chemistry of the the three leads, Gene Kelly, Frank Sinatra, and Jules Munshin, as three sailors on 24 hr shore leave in the Big Apple.
Why is my rating is only a Seven ? Because the fantastic opening scene is so strong, the rest of the movie suffers in comparison, as our trio seek out romance and get into all kinds of wacky childish situations.
A little more editing on the back end would've helped, especially during the film's weakest moment, the Prehistoric Man number in the museum. Yikes! That was bad. Despite that, this movie is still so worth your time.
