Just so...so bad

As Good As It Gets

Absolutely the worst movie.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Sailors in Hollywood, not NYC as in On the Town. They meet singer Kathryn Grayson and her small nephew Dean Stockwell. Grayson talks about Jose Iturbi. Gene dances with King Jerry Mouse. Gene's Pomeranian Navy (it was/is a real navy; I looked it up) uniform pants are tight and white, and his striped blue and white tee shirt are quite form fitting, also. Grayson acts all prissy, and the sailor(s) just want to make the moves on her. Gene acts all crude and obnoxious. Stockwell, as a small child, just wants to join the US Navy. This film was made during the ending of World War Two, and there was much patriotism going on. The Brooklyn accents were grating but fun to listen to. Frank is always entertaining.

When we thinking in musical movies we expect to see gorgeous legs girls dancing in large stages,but this time too family movie even Sinatra was strangely dumb and behaved,just Kelly has some malicious thoughts along the movie trying make a appointment with a hot girl who so long spoke about and all audience expect to meet her,for a family movie once more Dean Stockwell made history...by the way a few boy who made successfully career after grow up like him...backing on movie is easy to watch but a lack of the other beauty legs and faces made a puritanical movie...just for adjusted families only!! Resume: First watch: 1995 / How many: 2 / Source: TV-DVD / Rating: 7

A major Hollywood musical with some of its finest talent among them Kathryn Grayson Frank Sinatra and in supporting roles Ben Blue and Grady Suttonat their best it is beautifully filmed and staged yet lacks period charm. Many of the early world war nostalgia scenes simply do not ring true for those who grew up in and still remember this era. Some of the hairbrained schemes are screwball comedy which usually ends with an unexpected ending this one easily predictable. Everything in the shot is top forties Hollywood yet once one gets on to the next shot the point is lost, the magic is not there and my DVD after the first reading was stored in the trash bin not my DVD collection.

A jolly musical featuring a great double act in the pairing of Frank Sinatra and Gene Kelly, who don't share quite as many song-and-dance numbers as you'd expect. ANCHORS AWEIGH charts the boisterous misadventures of a pair of sailors (Kelly and Sinatra) on three-day shore leave and the trouble that seems to follow them around.The sole problem with this movie is that it's overlong and, as is so often the case, it gets bogged down in an unnecessary romance around the halfway mark. It needed a little more music, a little more oomph, to make it truly great. Still, there's plenty to enjoy here, not least a wonderful performance from an agile and exuberant Gene Kelly, who outdoes Sinatra at every turn.The highlights of the movie are a couple of fantasy sequences. In one of them, a Spanish-themed interlude, we see Kelly serenading love interest Kathryn Grayson. However, it's the other moment, in which he enters an animated world and dances with Jerry from the TOM AND JERRY cartoons, which is the real highlight and a moment of pure brilliance. I always thought this kind of live action and animation mixing didn't occur until the days of WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT? but it looks like I was wrong; this dance is the icing on a slightly stodgy, but very tasty, cake.
