4.0 out of 5 stars Cute!, October 1, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Anchors Aweigh (1945 Film) (Audio CD)

Gene and Frank go on their first sailor-suited adventure, and meet tons of fun songs, Kathryn Grayson, and her absolutely adorable little nephew, Dean Stockwell. (There's a scene where Gene, Frank, and Dean all smile at the same time - overload on cuteness!) BUT - this disc is not perfect. The sound is good, but not pristine, and it becomes clear (no pun intended) that Anchors Aweigh's soundtrack has not been given the professional cleanup that An American in Paris or Singin' in the Rain have received. Again, the sound isn't BAD, and for us fans who know how little-known this flick is, it's a treat to even have the songs on CD, but don't expect too much from the quality. One more thing: The songs have the background effects (talking from the stars, taps, etc.) still there. Decide for yourself whether or not you like them, because some do, and some don't. Bottom line: Listen to the samples here and decide for yourself.

3.0 out of 5 stars great stuff..but needs a rhino warner brothers version, September 1, 2008

This review is from: Anchors Aweigh (1945 Film) (Audio CD)

although, well intended, this anchors aweigh soundtrack is made from a print and not from original soundtrack masters. when one considers the stature of anchors aweigh in gene kelly's and the mgm library's history and heritage it does seem quite amazing that a rhino/warner cd was not done. the songs by jule styne, etc are excellent and the performances are peerless. in the meantime, this cd version will have to do.........gary jasinkonis.......east northport, ny............

I love this movie! It is one of the better musicals I have seen in a long time. The music is great and the guys aren't too bad either. I would definitely reccomend buying this one!
