Product Description
Amazon.com Essential Video
Gene Kelly and Frank Sinatra teamed up for their first of three musical comedies in this frothy confection of sailors on leave in Hollywood, with gawky, shy young Sinatra tagging along with his worldly buddy Kelly, who promises to show him the ropes. Overlong at more than two hours, this meandering production is light on story, and more than a little sentimental, but full of first-rate entertainment. Sinatra croons "I Fall in Love Too Easily" and "What Makes the Sunset," chirpy costar Kathryn Grayson sings "All of a Sudden My Heart Sings," classical pianist José Iturbi provides a little highbrow interlude, and Gene Kelly dances with cartoon mouse Jerry (of Tom and Jerry fame) when not chasing dames. Somewhere in the midst of this, little Dean Stockwell makes his film debut as a runaway orphan who melts the heart of self-centered Kelly. This big-budget Technicolor extravaganza, directed by MGM stalwart and musical specialist George Sidney (Show Boat, Kiss Me Kate), was one of the studio's biggest hits in 1945. --Sean Axmaker

Great footwork,
By
This review is from: Anchors Aweigh (Keepcase) (DVD)
This is a must-see because of the classic dancing by Gene Kelly, and Frank's voice (rather than his acting in this movie). Gene Kelly moves as though his feet were'n't touching the ground. It is also classic in its innocent 40s/50s genre of American movies.

I fell in love too easily with Anchors Aweigh,
By A Customer
This review is from: Anchors Aweigh (Full Screen) (DVD)
Anchors Aweigh is an MGM classic. When you watch it you'll never forget Gene Kelly's dance with the animated mouse, Jerry, Frank Sinatra's crooning of "I Fall in Love too Easily", Jose Itrubi's brillinat playing of the piano, and Kathryn Grayson's operatic "Jealousy". I don't think this is Kathryn Grayson's best role, but she sure does a good job. Some other songs that I haven't mentioned are "If You Knew Susie", "Waltz Serenade", "All of a Sudden My Heart Sings", and "We Hate to Leave". I thoroughly enjoyed this movie, and if you're a fan of Frank, Gene, or Kathryn, you'll love it too.

Anchors A Snore,
By A Customer
This review is from: Anchors Aweigh (Full Screen) (DVD)
We bought this movie because we liked Gene Kelly in "Singing in the Rain" so much. While not expecting something quite as wonderful we were indeed surprised at how truly awful it was. The characters annoyed us and the plot was not believable. For a long, long time, we kept hoping for more dancing... or singing... or something... but eventually we went to bed and haven't even finished this movie. The kid was cute, though.
