Review of On the Town (1949) by Jessica R — 29 Dec 2007
An amazing cast, with equally amazing songs, music and dance numbers (all of which distract from the lack of a complicated story), On the Town is an excellent musical movie.
The story, as is typical of these types of movies, in unbelievable --- three navy men on 24 hour leave in New York, who meet and fall for the women they encounter. Gene Kelly is on a hunt for the woman he sees on a subway poster, unable to enjoy the sights of the city until he finds her (and he does find her)....and then loses her....and then finds her again --- but who cares if the story is believable when you can see Gene Kelly singing and dancing, along with his co-stars?
