Reviews for Anchors Aweigh
This is a story bursting with light joy... Sinatra and Kelly prove themselves to be an invaluable duo.
Producer Joe Pasternak is not Arthur Freed and director George Sidney is not Minnelli, but this fun and inventive musical, which blends live action and animation, has some good musical numbers, sung by Sinatra and Gene Kelly (who also choreographed).
I absolutely loved this film. It's like musical cotton candy, a feast of great songs and dance numbers and bright colors.
It seems that every time Joe breaks into a song, people of both sexes swoon.
