First Sinatra meets a cabbie who gets so horny she just has to have him at her apartment (for the sex) after meeting him for all of two seconds. Then this other guy meets a girl in a museum who is a confessed nympho and can't wait to get HIM back to her pad for the sex!! What's up with these broads?!?!??!
shareyeah i noticed that too. but i guess its a plot device.
bring back 30's clothes!
And then, there's Miss Turnstiles. Prim, proper, virginal. And as bland as buttermilk!
shareYah but I betcha Vera-ellen *beep* like a mink! Look at her legs in that little sports montage at the beginning of the moovie, where Kelley is scoping out her Miss Turnstiles pic and hoping for a coping and shes beating the *beep* ouf of all those sports geeks. Shes cute but her legs were veritable tree trunks. Great dancer though. Gene Kelly prolly found out about that muff pi'd
Now... I would have loved to have known Anne Miller and have her mile long legs wrapped around me, she wass HOT and her legs always kicked about 2 feet over her head! What a woman, she sang great too. When she went to MGM they made her beautuful, when she was at RKO she was a geeky tall stringbean.
Wanna know what kicks ass? Anne Miller, at the very beginning of Kiss Me Kate, dancing on the top of that table, is a short short short miniskirt... Way too short for 1949 or whenever the fook that moovie was made.
Oh Yah...
That broad that leeched onto Sinatra was a dog!
She tried to bed him in that moovie where the swimming chick? What the fook was her name, mind went blank... You know, "dangerous when wet" Not that flick but the one where Esther Williams rthats her name.. Was the owner of the baseball teem? - That same little chihiahua-shaped chick was tryin to get sinatra in that flick too!

Yeah right. A "prim, proper, virginal" cooch dancer at Coney Island. Vera-Ellen played her wtih a certain amount of small-town innocence, but her profession speaks otherwise.
shareSince the show was first done on Broadway in 1944, the running joke was that the single women at home during World War II were desperate for men since they were all away fighting. That aspect is still very much a part of the plot in the movie, but it makes less sense since the movie is supposed to take place after the war is over.
I've been married to one Marxist and one Fascist, and neither one would take the garbage out.

New York, New York It's a Wonderful Town!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
shareDuring WWII girls that made it with military guys were being patriotic. Thus it was an excuse to indulge themselves. Gotta keep our boys happy. Plus, the serviceman could easily be dead next week so they could get a lot of sympathy tail.
shareWe Baby Boomers like to think that we invented pre-marital sex in the sixties, before that is was "trade your hymen for a diamond." Hah! Not even close.
shareIndeed, Henry Miller, speaking of the early 20th century, provided one of my favorite movie quotes as one of the "witnesses" in 1981's "Reds": "There was just as much phukking going on then as now."
shareIf a man's going off to or just been fighting for his country it's surely unpatriotic to say no.

it's more of a fantasy movie than a musical in that sense
so many movies, so little time
What the heck is up with the one good-looking, well-built, sexy guy taking no interest in the sexy fun broads, and spending his entire shore leave chasing a woman who isn't going to put out, before going back to sharing his life with hundreds of sweaty fit young men?
