Susan M A golden oldie. Charm, music and talent to spare. A 1945 treasure. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/28/24 Full Review Audience Member My mother-in-law told me I HAVE to see this and claimed that it was funny, romantic and a Golden Age of films classic. I thought it blew chunks. Aside from a nice song or two and a couple of nice dance numbers, it was a big downer for me because it was so immature vapid--cringey and seemed to be aiming for an audience that had never been off the farm and gawked at them big ol buildings. The "Come up to my place," song was embarrassing. Ann Millers dancing had nothing to do with anything other than showing how many taps she could do per second and she looked sort of possessed when she was doing it. Frank Sinatra always seemed like a tough nut to me in real life, but here he ran like a girl everywhere he scurried off to. And although you get to see New York, the scenarios made it seem like a bad advertising commercial. Mostly though, it's not very funny and only mildly adventurous. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 12/11/24 Full Review Liam D Classic Musical with star and co-director Gene Kelly (The Tunnel of Love) Frank Sinatra (Tony Rome) director Stanley Donen (Saturn 3) and composer Leonard Bernstein (On the Waterfront) combined together to create a blast and fun time Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/10/24 Full Review Alec B Once you've become more familiar with the original stage production and it's score this film adaption seems less like a classic and more like a missed opportunity. It's fun and the cast has some truly terrific performers but the removal of most of Bernstein's original music in favor of mostly lackluster songs is frustrating. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 12/14/23 Full Review Nizar N Another classic from Stanley Donen, Gene Kelly, Frank Sinatra… Astounding visuals as usual, and an entertaining series of events. The only drawback would be the musical numbers that might not be very memorable, but are not so bad either, and they are redeemed by the impressive choreographies. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/19/23 Full Review CodyZamboni Silly, but watchably fun MGM musical, that benefits greatly from its' opening, the on location scenes in New York, and the great chemistry of the three leads, Gene Kelly, Frank Sinatra, and Jules Munshin, as sailors on 24 hr shore leave. But, 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 situations. A little more editing 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 a pleasant diversion.
