American actors Jules Munshin, Frank Sinatra and Gene Kelly standing on the Brooklyn Bridge in sailor's uniforms, in a still from Stanley Donen and Gene Kelly's film 'On the Town', New York City. With a view of the Manhattan skyline in the background. Music by Leonard Bernstein. Three sailors on a 24-hour pass -- Gabey (Gene Kelly), Chip (Frank Sinatra), and Ozzie (Jules Munshin) -- decide to soak up the sights and sounds of New York. Each one finds romance within those 24 hours. Adapted from the Broadway musical, On the Town is one of the freshest, most exhilarating musicals turned out by the old MGM regime. The stars' verve and camaraderie are contagious, and the songs are staged by legendary musical director Stanley Donen and Kelly himself with wit and innovation. Highlights: the opening "New York, New York" number, shot on location and flat-cutting from one image to another at a dizzying pace; and Gene Kelly and Vera-Ellen's "Miss Turnstyles Ballet." New York, United States, 1st Jan 194p.
