I already own all three of these movies on DVD, however I have to have this collection. Kelly and Sinatra, to me are the best acting duo for the musical era.
If you've only seen one of these films, get this collection. You will like all three. The dance numbers are fantastic. The songs, enjoyable. Really, is there any voice smoother than Frank Sinatra's.
This would get 10 of 10 stars if allowed.

What can you say when you put two future icons of their respective fields together in three films? Dynamite. You can feel the chemistry and see the genuine respect they had for each other. They also seemed to bring each up in their weaker areas. Gene never liked his voice, but his sweet Irish tenor fit in fine most of the time. Frank once said that he would have been a nobody in the movies if Gene hadn't taught him how to dance. (His dancing improved considerably with each of these movies.)
Although he was billed third (huh?) "Anchors Aweigh" was Gene's film (he had the Oscar nomination to prove it.) There's lots for the Gene fan to enjoy here: the sexy phone call to Lola, Gene "playing" piano during "If You Knew Susie," the Jerry dance, the glorious two minutes we get to see what those dancer's legs really looked like. But the coolest part is the fantasy on the movie set, where he brandishes a sword, leaps atop a castle and swings across it on a curtain, slides down a fireman's pole, and oh yeah, tap dances a tango. This is my favorite solo dance of his (second overall only to the "An American In Paris" ballet.) Frank's "I Fall In Love Too Easily" will put a lump in your throat. I have this one on VHS as well, and darn near wore it out trying to get to the good stuff.
"Take Me Out to the Ballgame" is certainly the weakest of the bunch, but it's entertaining nevertheless. "O'Brien to Ryan to Goldberg" will make you smile. Watch Gene as he leapfrogs up to the balcony to woo Esther Williams. At first "The Hat My Father Wore" seems like just a nice tip of the hat to Gene's Irish heritage. Be sure to watch the end, but do not, I repeat, do NOT attempt this at home as Gene tap dances on one foot with his other leg in the air. This DVD has two nice deleted scenes: the "Baby Doll" dance with Gene and Esther, and Sinatra's "Boys and Girls Like You and Me" (supposedly the song was too slow.)
What can be said about "On the Town?" It's a masterpiece for sure. Nobody really stands out because everyone is great in it. Its pace is frenetic for sure (especially compared to the somewhat draggy "Anchors Aweigh." I especially love the part where Frank throws his guidebook off the Empire State Building.
There should have been several more collaborations, but sadly it wasn't to be. But this collection will live on long after we're all gone.
