"On the Town" co-directed by Stanley Donen and Gene Kelly is a movie that describes the style of New York City, which has a very strange characteristic. The film is obviously different from the song and dance films and feature films of the 1930s in terms of photography style, scene scheduling and storyline. The plot is complete and the narrative is smooth. Photography is obviously influenced by Neorealism . The difference between this film and other feature films is that the whole film is run through with singing and dancing. While the plot is warm and touching, it also mocks the appearance of urban people. It is not surprising that singing and dancing appear in such a more realistic movie, because there is an emperor-level singing and dancing superstar Gene Kelly in the director and actors of this film, who guarantees the beauty, fun and vividness of the singing and dancing in this film.
