On the town

Three sailors spend a day's leave in New York City and meet three girls. A notable postwar musical, the film was shot largely on location in New York City and was freely adapted from the 1944 stage musical. Its exuberance, inventiveness, choreographic style and use of urban settings were to become trademarks for later Kelly-Donen musicals. Songs include: New York, New York, Come Up to My Place, Prehistoric Man. (Circulates)
