On the Town (1949)
Monday, January 2, 2012 at 09:31AM New York, New York, a helluva town, The Bronx is up, but the Battery's down.
The people ride in a hole in the groun'. New York, New York, it's a helluva town!!
I've always loved this MGM-mega-musical-movie, it reminds me of high school band where we played this song about a thousand times marching up and down the back parking lot. It was years later when I finally saw the movie - and could put the music in it's original Coney Island context. This cute movie about boys on a night of shore leave looking for the "Turnstile of the Month" girl is as madcap as Gene Kelly and Frank Sinatra could be in 1949. Here are two lobby cards from the movie - the second one featuring a still with all the lovely ladies (except Vera Ellen) as they're gearing up for their night on the town. Lots of singing and dancing will break out as soon as Ann Miller finishes talking I'm sure....
