Cast: Frank Sinatra, Kathryn Grayson, Gene Kelly
Hey everybody! Whether you're in the cold Northeast (like me!) or the tropics of Florida or (probably) California, Happy belated Holidays! And a Happy New Year to you as well! Today we're reviewing another Gene Kelly classic.
THE PLOT: Joe Brady (Gene Kelly) and Clarence Doolittle (Frank Sinatra) are sailors in the Navy who get a three day leave. They wind up in Hollywood, where all Joe wants to do is find his girlfriend Lola (who we never see, much to my disappointment) and all Clarence wants to do is find a girl. The boys end up caring for a little boy named Donald, who has his heart set on joining the Navy. Clarence falls for Donald's Aunt Susan (Kathryn Grayson) and the pair find many hilarious ways to get Clarence a date with her. Eventually, they get him out with her, but it's useless because Clarence ends up falling for a girl from Brooklyn (Pamela Britton) and Joe falls for Susan.
THE REVIEW: Okay, two things we need to get out of the way first:
1. Gene's bandit tango dance scene: HOT SEX.
2. I never knew Frank Sinatra could dance!
Anyways, this film was definitely fun and I loved Gene's interactions with the children. It was great to see him in a shy role. And as for Frank, he was just plain ADORABLE in this!!!! 5 out of 5 stars.
