Audience Member I have al qua liked this movie, and still do. I don’t understand why critics are hating on this one. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/20/24 Full Review Simon T You'd be forgiven for assuming this is the bloated charmless cousin of On the Town. Gene Kelly (at his most self-adoring) and a very young (and miscast) Frank Sinatra are sailors on shore leave, a shore leave that seems to last a month. Guess what, they is lookin' for goils. So of course they both fall for Dean Stockwell's nanny, Kathryn Grayson, and hours of tedious misunderstanding and (in Kelly's case) gurning at the camera ensue. And Kelly dances with a cartoon, as you do. There are no jokes, no surprises, and a sack load of incredibly boring tunes. Someone called José Iturbi (me neither) plays the piano rather badly. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 12/23/23 Full Review StephenPaul C The greatest 02 hours: and 23 minutes ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Starring Bing Crosby and Frank Sinatra!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/23/23 Full Review M W Gene Kelly's dance performances were outstanding! He seems to defy gravity with his floating spins and acrobatic leaps. ]I think my favorite was his seemingly impromptu 2 minute dance with the little girl in the market. I was also surprised that Dean Stockwell, of the original Quantum Leap series and other movies, appeared in this movie and many others as a child actor. I would have never recognized him from his numerous adult roles. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review David F This wartime musical features the talents of Gene Kelly and Frank Sinatra as two sailors on leave in Hollywood after distinguishing themselves in battle. Kelly's character, described as a wolf, is hot to trot for a woman named Lola who despite his success with women - attested to by seemingly everyone but really it's all on his authority - remains elusive. The two meet an aspiring singer and her adorable nephew along with another woman, a waitress, who's Brooklyn background captures the attention of the Sinatra sailor. Hearts are melted, songs are sung, and dances are danced amidst a glorious background of Hollywood (sound stages and the Hollywood Bowl are among the setting stars) in this patriotic, song-filled, romantic comedy. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/22/23 Full Review Schiller I'm not a musical fan, but this movie was a pleasant surprise. True, the runtime is too long, conflicts sometimes resolve quickly enough, but it's so kind and cute I can't get mad at it. The music numbers and dances were a pleasure to watch.
