complete bargain!
All three films are fantastic. On the Town was the first Hollywood film to be filmed on location. The whole film is really a tribute to New York, starting with a view of the Manhattan skyline and including a wonderful scene on the top of the Empire State Building. It's full of energy and fun: "three smart gals and three slick fellas" meeting up and seeing the sights by day and night. It's full of brilliant songs (some by Leonard Bernstein) and the dance routines are the reason I now go to a dance class every week. pAnchors Aweigh is also about sailors on leave. It includes Gene Kelly's famous dance with Jerry (of Tom and Jerry) and the scene with hundreds of grand pianos. Gene Kelly taught Frank Sinatra to dance in six weeks for the film - with amazing results (especially the bed jumping scene!). My 3-year-old loves watching Gene Kelly play the piano with his bottom too.pHigh Society is another classic.It's got jazz (Louis Armstrong), glamour (Grace Kelly), smooth vocals (Bing Crosby and Frank Sinatra) and a great storyline (based on the Philadelphia Story). How could it fail?pFor just over £10, you couldn't do better. Hours of warm fuzzy feelgood pleasure. This triple pack is what I'd have on my desert island....
