I had a good time watching On The Town, with Gene Kelly, Frank Sinatra, Ann Miller and Vera Ellen. The color is terrific, the dances are exhuberant and New York in 1949 must have been quite a place. In fact, it still is and always will be. Maybe some of the numbers could have been better, but the cast is first rate and they seem to be having a great time.

This is a very entertaining film, great views of New York in '49, even a Walgreens on a corner. The colors are vibrant and it's great to watch such talent perform. So why 3 out of 5? The DVD should have had more. Widescreen would have been nice. Maybe an interview from the archives (Sinatra, Garrett, Vera-Ellen or Kelly must have said something about this film in a TV interview). Even a film historian could have added some depth to the work. Films like this won't be seen again so why release the movie with a special features list that barely covers the talent involved? I suppose, as with West Side Story, there will be another release with more background. A special release version. Fun movie.

'On the Town' was the best example in 1949 that MGM's Freed Unit had ever produced of the 'integrated musical'. Song, dance and plot are woven tightly together in a way that seems more natural than ever before.
When 'On the Town' premiered, the line went all the way around the block at Radio City Music Hall. It was an outstanding success.
I think for this movie you do need a particular sense of humor. The number 'Prehistoric Man' in particular can lead certain fans of other musicals to bewilderment with its sillyness... however, it's all good fun and all in the name of 'entertainment'. *gulps*.
The movie is light hearted, eye catching (the first one shot on location in New York City) and fast paced. Any fans of Kelly and Sinatra need to see it, as well as fans of the musical comedy. If you want an example of one of the highest productions of MGM's Freed Unit (after which inspirations came for 'An American in Paris', 'Singin' in the Rain' and 'The Band Wagon'), this is it!

This a very good movie about three sailors Gabey Gene Kelly), Chip (Frank Sinatra), and Ozzie (Jules Munshin). These sailors plan on going sightseeing and picking up dates at the same time. Chip picks up a very, shall we say forward taxi driver Hildy Esterhazie (Betty Garret), and Ozzie picks up the lovely anthropologist Claire Hudson (Ann Miller). While Gabey chases passionately after what he thinks is a real New York Celebrity,
Miss Turnstiles (Vera Ellen). Alice Pearce makes a funny appearence and you can't help laughing when she says: "Oh, it's just a little sniffle." Kelly and Vera - Elllen do a very toned - down tap number'Main Street.' While Miller makes a jaw dropping performance of 'A Prehistoric Man.' Overall, it's a fun movie and I recommend it highly.

This is a really great movie. I think this movie is better than An American in Paris. The movie is about three sailors named Gabey (Gene Kelly), Chip (Frank Sinatra), and Ozzie (Jules Munshin) let loose on a 24 hour leave. On a subway Gabey sees a poster of "Miss Turnstiles of the Month" named Ivy Smith (Vera-Ellen) (he thinks she is some high society girl) so they spend the day looking for her. On the way they run into a cab driver who has eyes for Chip named Hilde (Betty Garrett). They also meet a gorgeous anthropologist named Claire (Ann Miller). Anyway this movie is awesome! It has a lot of great music and Ann dances great during the song "Prehistoric Man." There are also some great shots of New York. They really don't make movies like this anymore which is a dirty rotten shame! This movie is a must see!
