Directed, choreographed, and starring Hollywood icon Gene Kelly, this adaptation of the Leonard Bernstein Broadway show, ranks among the greatest musicals ever made. Alongside Kelly, Frank Sinatra, Betty Garrett, and Ann Miller star as sailors and their love interests who spend the day out on the town in New York City. An energetic, exuberant, and innovative film, On The Town changed the landscape of movie musicals, opening filmmakers eyes to what could be done on location, and winning the Oscar for Best Musical Score. (USA, 1949, 98 mins, English | Dir. Gene Kelly & Stanley Donen)
