I love the women in this movie. They're incredibly distinct from one another in their desires, jobs, looks and visual comedy. They're all really well drawn as characters, and oh so horny, which is always a blast. Moreso than the men even, and that's really saying something…
Willow MaclaySep 8, 2017is it really a Gene Kelly movie if there's not a lengthy musical montage with its own complete story arc?

Sinatra and Garrett were a trip. Miller and Munshin made a fun odd couple. Plus the iconic Ellen. I’d only remove the play style recap.
Eye Cinc lovedOn the TownWhat a cute and beautiful movie, love it. Frank Sinatra singing by the ear to the girl that she's awfull is the most hot of the movie.

A fine, freewheeling musical.

Delightful, athletic stuff with some unusual - but wonderful - location shooting. New York never looked better.

For all its silliness, the musical also taps into something existential, thanks to its ticking-clock structure. As the hours slip away and impending separation looms over every note, On the Town becomes a bittersweet reminder that all our days are numbered.
