Anchors Aweigh (4 Stars)

Pure entertainment from the golden days of Hollywood musicals. Gene Kelly and Frank Sinatra play two sailors on a four-day shore leave in Hollywood. The film was made in 1945 and takes place against the background of World War Two. It's interesting for me, as a European, to see how American day-to-day life was barely affected by the war. People went about their lives, films were made, and restaurants remained open without the fear of bombs falling. A fun film. Sinatra fades into the background. Gene Kelly was a star who overshadowed everyone around him.
