Anchors Aweigh

US (1945): Comedy/Musical/Dance/Romance

Gangway for Frank Sinatra and Gene Kelly as song and dance lead the list of activities when sailors on shore leave in Los Angeles fall in with a fatherless boy (Dean Stockwell) and his beautiful aunt (Kathryn Grayson). Includes the irresistible dance sequence with Kelly and Jerry, the cartoon mouse. Conductor-pianist José Iturbi is also featured. So, with a hoofer, a crooner, a diva and a concert pianist, there are almost 20 musical numbers in the picture. George Sidney directs. (MGM) (amctv.com)
