1 QiimM. Midi ON THE TOWN MOVIE REVIEWS ■ People who love New York in the spring will go for this; so will people who like good dancing, gay music, high spirits, and innocent merriment. The adventures of three sailors let loose in the big city with a one-day pass leaps from a Broadway run to the movies, still as fresh as an April morning. Don't expect too much plot. Gene Kelly (sailor number one) falls in love with Miss Turnstiles (Vera-Ellen) whose picture is in all the subways, and whom he thinks is a big celebrity, but who's really a cooch dancer at Coney Island. • Frank Sinatra (sailor number two) gets tangled up with a lady cab-driver (Betty Garrett) with man-eating instincts, and Jules Munshin (naval hero number three) falls prey to Ann Miller, a passionate scientist. More passion than science, really. Every time she kisses Munshin, she claims it's for a survey, and Munshin's pals all call her, "Dr. Kinsey, I presume." I guess that's quite a bit of plot, after all. But mostly, On the Town is music, and wonderful Technicolor shots of the Brooklyn Bridge, the Battery, Times Sguare, the East River, the skyline, and a terrific cast kicking up its heels and acting as if it's having a wonderful time. The stars are all swell; so is a featured player named Alice Pearce, who plays an ugly and delightful girl named Lucy Shneeler. On the Town should contribute vastly to the gaiety of the population.
