Gene Kelly and Frank Sinatra star in this 1945 musical as sailors on shore leave in Hollywood whose hot plans are shelved when they come to the aid of an attractive single mom who's desperate to break into showbiz. Best known for Kelly's pas de deux with the lesser half of the animated team of Tom & Jerry, this overlong song-and-dancer, with hokey dialogue and unmemorable tunes, wears out its welcome quickly. Unless you're actively collecting musicals--in which case you'll appreciate the very good video transfer and sound--this is not a necessary purchase. (S. C. Sickles)
