great stars, great music and choreography, beautifully restored. reaffirms that Kelly might well have been a superior dancer to Astaire.

For those who grew up watching Gene Kelly's "Singin' in the Rain" and "On the Town," the MGM mishmash of "Anchors Aweigh" (1945) will prove a disappointment. Nevertheless, there are some magical moments. The film's highlight is Gene's breakthrough dance with Jerry the Mouse - a stunning fusion of animation and live-action. Along the way, Frank Sinatra sings a few memorable numbers amid the Technicolor splendor. However, you must keep your finger on the fast-forward button to encounter these gems. Running 140 minutes, it's obvious that the editor fell asleep at the Moviola. Though directed by the usually reliable George Sidney, one wishes Kelly had more creative control over this unwieldy project.

Released some months before the end of the war, "Anchors Aweigh" is one of Gene Kelly's major musical triumphs of the forties...
Under the direction of George Sidney, it had the benefits of a pleasant score, and--best of all--the services of Gene Kelly in his first true starring role at MGM... The year before, in Columbia's "Cover Girl," he had revealed an innovative approach to dance on the screen, a light but agreeable singing voice, and considerable charm In "Anchors Aweigh," although he was billed under Frank Sinatra and Kathryn Grayson, he was laying the solid groundwork for his most revealing years at MGM...
The film's story, a kind of dry run for "On the Town" four years later, follows sailors Kelly and Sinatra on shore leave, spend their holiday in Hollywood, where they become involved in the affairs of an aspiring singer (Grayson) and her little nephew (Dean Stockwell).
Grayson, it appears, has her heart set on an audition with conductor-pianist Jose Iturbi... She gets the audition, of course; Kelly gets Grayson after some misunderstandings; and Sinatra, has forgotten to be shy, and has lost his heart to a girl from Brooklyn (Pamela Britton).
The plot is conventional for the period but, regrettably, it now seems barely tolerable... But there is Gene Kelly, who dominates the movie with his agreeable personality... Perhaps he grins too much, but when is permitted to dance, the film finally lifts off the ground...
"I Begged Her," his early song and dance with Sinatra, is amusing and slightly absurd, in which he imagines himself as a bandit chieftain in a Spanish courtyard, courting maiden Grayson with a flamboyant flamenco dance and some athletic leaps... He also does a charming Mexican dance with little Sharon McManus in the square of a Mexican settlement in Los Angeles...
The highlight of the movie, however, is Kelly's famous dance with the cartoon character Jerry the Mouse (of "Tom and Jerry" fame). Delightful and innovative, it skillfully combines live action and animation in its tale of a sad mouse king who refuses to allow music in his kingdom until Kelly, a sailor in the "Pomeranian Navy," wearing a striped shirt and a beret, shows him how to dance... "Look at me, I'm dancin'!" says the gleeful mouse king...

This couple of young actors by then (Gene Kelly and Frank Sinatra opening his wings to stardom) were so distant respect their respective would depart for them. And this amusing and entertained movie has to deal with some ins and outs respect two sailors who have a license during four days in L.A. as consequence of a valorous act of heroism and total conveyance.
A funny musical that deserves all your attention, due is one of the most original and suggestive musicals ever made.
