Title: A great movie about a great 24 hours
Review: The incomparable dancer Gene Kelly, the incomparable singer Frank Sinatra, and the very humorous Jules Munshinmake this movie about three sailors on a 24-hour pass in "New York, New York, a wonderful town" very enjoyably entertaining. Of course, Betty Garrett, Ann Miller, and Vera-Ellen are three attractive, drawing icons in this unforgettable M-G-M musical. Though the story was wonderful, the songs and dance numbers took (no pun intended) center stage. The main romantic element was, undoubtedly, the all-too-brief affair between the sailor Gabe (played by Kelly) and Ivy Smith (played by Vera-Ellen). While the ending was happy, I believe it could have been happier and wish it had been. But still, I did enjoy the movie.The songs "New York, New York", "On The Town", and the musical dance number "A Day in New York" practically pull me back to watching this film which I rented and saw many times before I bought it and have seen many times since. Sit back and enjoy it.
