On the Town (1949)
They Paint The Town With Joy!
Starring Gene Kelly, Frank Sinatra, Betty Garrett
Directed by Stanley Donen,Gene Kelly
Three sailors - Gabey, Chip and Ozzie - let loose on a 24-hour pass in New York and the Big Apple will never be the same! Gabey falls head over heels for 'Miss Turnstiles of the Month' (he thinks she's a high society deb when she's really a 'cooch dancer at Coney Island); innocent Chip gets highjacked (literally) by a lady cab driver; and Ozzie becomes the object of interest of a gorgeous anthropologist who thinks he's the perfect example of a 'prehistoric man'. Wonderful music and terrific shots of New York at its best.
