Editorial Review:

Product Description:
Co-directors Gene Kelly and Stanley Donen (SINGIN' IN THE RAIN) also choreographed this musical classic following three sailors docked in New York City for 24 hours. New to town and ready to see the sights--and the girls--Kelly, Frank Sinatra, and Jules Munshin search for adventure in the Big Apple. Wooing the ladies with their singing and dancing and being charmed in return, the trio finds various degrees of romantic success. But as all good things must come to an end, the navy men return to their ship, leaving behind them a city briefly brighter and taking with them a heartful of memories. Dancing by the marvelous and masculine Kelly and singing by heartthrob Sinatra (looking very young!) add punch and pizzazz to the musical numbers, including the famous "New York, New York" scene. ON THE TOWN was one of the first movies filmed on location in New York--a wild extravagance in those days--and the extra effort taken shows in every shot of the film.

Amazon.com essential video:
New York, New York--it's a helluva town; the Bronx is up and the Battery's down; the people ride in a hole in the ground.... Well, you get the idea. Those lyrics (by Betty Comden and Adolph Green), set to Leonard Bernstein's music, have made On the Town a permanent part of the psychological landscape of New York City. The story (inspired by Jerome Robbins's ballet Fancy Free) is pretty slight: Gene Kelly, Frank Sinatra, and Jules Munshin play sailors with 24 hours' leave to take their bite out of the Big Apple. When they meet, and then lose, this month's Miss Turnstiles (Vera-Ellen), they scour the town in search of her, bumping into a lady anthropologist (Ann Miller) along the way. Shot mostly in the studio, but with location exteriors all over town, from Coney Island to the Statue of Liberty to Central Park, this 1949 gem was the first of three great musicals codirected by Kelly and Stanley Donen, followed by Singin' in the Rain (1952) and the underrated It's Always Fair Weather (1955). --Jim Emerson

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Sailors, singers, dancers
I have seen this on tv enough to know I would enjoy it. It is an old-fashioned musical, and I love the music and dancing.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Breakthrough
"On the Town" was truly a breakthrough movie which revolutionised the movie musical. From that wonderful opening with the harbour man walking to work on the real New York docks, singing in his bass voice his chant against early rising, you know you are in for something special. And it really does not date, partly because of the top level performances from both the leads and the supporting players. Who for example could ever forget Alice Pearce's cameo of Lucy Schmeiler. And of course it was perhaps ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Classic musical
Classic musical from Hollywood's Golden Age. Have watched it repeatedly and can't stop humming the songs.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Good Clean Fun
In the same spirit as White Christmas (Our favorite movie). Lots of fabulous singing and dancing. Our daughter is 6 and we live in a TV free home, so our family movie nights are truly cherished. We all really enjoy this sweet film, hope you do too. Vera Ellen, Frank Sinatra, and Gene Kelly all SHINE!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - ON THE TOWN, DVD, w/ F. Sinatra/ G. Kelly & VERA ELLEN
While I like Frank Sinatra and Gene Kelly, the ONLY reason I ordered this DVD was Vera Ellen danced opposite of Gene Kelly. I have become enamored with Vera Ellen recently - WHAT A DANCER? First saw her in "Happy Go Lovely" (David Niven) and could not believe her different styles of dancing ability. Tremendous! "On the Town" has lots of dancing in it (especially between Vera and Gene) and is just a fun, enjoyable movie ... the whole family can watch!
