The story was inspired by Jerome Robbins’s ballet “Fancy Free” in which three sailors on 24 hours’ leave are determined to Änd joy and love in the Big Apple. “On the Town” set a precedent by taking its actors to New York City for several days of location shooting at many of the landmarks that make the city what it is. Even though most of it was shot in Hollywood, the location footage incorporated into the body of the Älm gives it a distinct New York Åavor that just couldn’t be faked. The lyrics (by Betty Comden and Adolph Green), set to Leonard Bernstein’s music, have made “On the Town” a permanent part of the psychological landscape of New York City. 98 minutes. MORE FILM INFO
