One of the happy musicals with Gene Kelly and Frank Sinatra. 1945. Director: George Sidney.
Joseph Brady (Gene Kelly) and his friend Clarence Dolittle (Frank Sinatra) are allowed to leave the ship that they're working at. They're two men who's joined the navy and after brave actions, they can go on a four-day shore leave in Hollywood.
Joseph is planning to meet the dreamgirl 'Lola', who's the most good-looking girl in America and who's worth waiting for. The other sailors tries to listen to his "hot" phone call with this Lola, and Joseph's really exited to meet this girl.
But Clarence, who's very shy, wants Joseph to get him a girl. Clarence reveals that he has never been with a girl, and Joseph agrees to help him. Will Clarence find himself a kind girl that he can live happy with? Will Joseph ever get a chance to meet the hot Lola?
This film is good. The films with both Gene Kelly and Frank Sinatra are much better then Gene Kelly's other films that I've seen so far. It's something special about "Anchors aweigh" and "On the town", which are the films with these too that I've had the pleasure to see so far. I got to see "Take me out to the Ball game"...
A bad thing in this film is the parts where the sweet Kathryn Grayson is singing. The scenes are too long, and I'm not exactly fond of her singing voice. Then it's much better when Gene Kelly shows his dancing skills in some great numbers.
Everytime that I see a movie with Gene Kelly, I can't help of thinking that he looks like he should be an actor now. His face and way of acting makes me think that he looks like an actor now.
