    If you liked On The Town but you would have preferred it better if it had a more convoluted plot, less cohesion, not that one guy who wasn't Frank Sinatra or Gene Kelly, and felt much longer then boy do I have a movie for you!!! Frank Sinatra is the cutest person ever…

    Get a guy that looks at you the way Frank Sinatra looks at Gene Kelly.

    This is not as good as Singing in the Rain, but it was a solid watch. Gene is as golden as ever!

George Sidney directed, a long way from the slam-bang vulgarity of his most entertaining work.

A very thin story stretched out for over two hours, this is a melange of the wonderful and the pompous.

For a popular entertainment, Anchors Aweigh is hard to beat. The proof is that it pleases both the pro and con Sinatra-ites.
