Anchors Aweigh
NEWLY REMASTERED! Gene Kelly’s live-action fancy footwork with animated Jerry (of Tom and Jerry™) remains a milestone of
movie fantasy. Frank Sinatra and Kathryn Grayson also headline this wartime tale of two sailors on leave in
Hollywood. Sinatra’s performance of “I Fall
in Love Too Easily,†the exuberant “We Hate to Leave†with Kelly, and other
highlights helped Anchors
Aweigh weigh in with an Academy Award®i for Best Music (Scoring of a Musical Picture), plus four more Oscar®
nominationsii,
including Best Picture and Best Actor for Kelly.

On the Town
NEWLY REMASTERED! New York, New York, it’s a wonderful town – especially when sailors
Gene Kelly, Frank Sinatra and Jules Munshin have a 24-hour shore leave to see the sights…and when those sights include
Ann Miller, Betty Garrett and Vera-Ellen.
And when brilliant
location and studio production numbers are blended, it could be – as here – ebullient, up-and-at-’em perfection.
The Bronx is up and the Battery’s down, but no one can be down after going On the Town.
