| Anchors Aweigh. On the Town. Hit the Deck. Hollywood has always known what to do with sailors on leave: Give âem some pretty girls and some great songs and watch the fans line up to enlist! Hit the Deck hits all the right notes as three sailors (Tony Martin, Vic Damone, Russ Tamblyn) and three cuties (Jane Powell, Debbie Reynolds and Ann Miller) squabble, run afoul of shore patrol and, of course, fail in love to hit a parade of Vincent Youmansâ tunes. Highlights include Millerâs polishing the floor as âThe Lady from the Bayou,â Martinâs romantic mastery of âMore Than You Knowâ and the stage-filling rouse âHallelujah.â Music, romance, fun: Donât miss the boat! |
