1949 musical which has a rousing start (New York, New York...no, not that one) but quickly spirals downward into the nonsensical drivel that characterizes many musicals. The scenarios here were so preposterous they felt like being trapped in an hour and a half long Saturday morning cartoon. One nice pas de deux between Kelly and Vera-Ellen couldn't save this one.
Even the score by Leonard Bernstein seemed forgettable.
This falls into the category of films I wish I had kept in long-ago memory.
