Jan 16, 2010This old film is full of musical numbers and dance numbers. The film plays out like a broadway play brought to the big screen. The films stars James Stewart and Eleanor Powell. The story is about a Navy sailor on leave in New York who falls for a aspiring woman who wants to dance and sing in a big broadway show. The story is solid and is full of comedy and romance between the music and dancing. I watched this because James Stewart starred in it. As always Stewart is excellent in his role. He even has a few singing numbers in this. If you enjoy musical and dancing films then check this out.Corey n Super Reviewer
