Three sailors come ashore and take the city by storm, but can they win the hearts of three women by song? Debbie Reynolds (In & Out, The Unsinkable Molly Brown), Ann Miller (Mulholland Drive, Kiss Me Kate) and Jane Powell (Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, Royal Wedding) are featured as the objects of the sailors' affections in this all-star musical. Now, when Bill (Tony Martin) is "that way" about Ginger (Miller), Rico (Vic Damone--Kismet) is stuck on Susan (Powell), and (Russ Tamblyn--Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, WestSide Story) only has eyes for Carol (Reynolds), will love be smooth sailing?

The dialogue offers few surprises... The songs are old too.

TV Guide

The familiar three-sailors-on-leave plotline gets a big shot in the arm in this musical, which features an outstanding cast, good production numbers, and nice visuals.

The sailors-on-shore-leave theme may be familiar, but this version of the 1927 stage hit (with a totally new story) is immensely entertaining.

It works as an amiable time killer.

With the limitations, [producer Joe Pasternak] has made it a pretty picture, replete with songs from the old footlight piece, complete with new lyrics and flashy production numbers.
