      The three huskies are twisting their waists, and they are quite innocent. They plan to develop their feelings first and then get laid23333. In fact, the choreography is pretty rough now, but it doesn't have a lot of vitality, and it's even more interesting to...

      The rhythm of the film is fast, but the ups and downs are not big. For example, when the love is out of order, there is no great effort to exaggerate the emotions. Secondly, to create humor, some are through dialogue, and some are through character actions, and it seems that there is no laughing matter through the language of the camera. But the repeated montage treatment at the beginning and the end restructures the film out of a looping narrative. The biggest disadvantage is that the...

      It was written by the same screenwriter as the 1944 Broadway musical, so it still retains a lot of stage elements. But it was just a few years after the end of World War II, and people were more hungry and thirsty to feel the real impact under the newsreel of the war. Here, the studios continue to walk out of the false landscaping and show the scenery of New York. Although the story is unremarkable, the joy of singing and dancing is still full (the part of the haha ​​museum). And, the original...

      Easy and cheerful, simple and direct. A day in New York is also a crazy love and a throbbing heartbeat. Let go of your body and mind and dive into the depths of the city to experience the glamorous beauty. The short-lived fate outlines an unforgettable love song. Although the tears are just a few bland New York strokes, the singing and dancing parts and Jim Kelly's interpretation are still shining and classic, I love the stage play and the black and white...

    Behind the scenes gags

    "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...

    • Claire Huddesen: You oughta feel proud that three sailors from the United States Navy got off the ship for one day, and what did they do? Were they thirsty for hard liquor? No. They were thirsty for culture. Were they running after girls? No. They came running to the museum to see your dinosaur. For months out at sea they were dreaming about your dinosaur.
