Top-notch, magical musical, starring Gene Kelly, Frank Sinatra and Jules Munshin. They play Gabey, Chip and Ozzie, three US Navy sailors with just 24 hours in New York and a mission - to find a date. Cue sassy taxi driver Brunhilde (Betty Garrett), pin-up Ivy (Vera-Ellen) and glamorous museum scientist Claire (Ann Miller), who variously become their objects of desire. Directed by Stanley Donen and Kelly, this Oscar-winning musical is packed with songs from Leonard Bernstein's sumptuous score including, of course, the classic New York, New York.
