This mammoth
musical is at base the story of two sailors on leave in Hollywood. Brash
Joseph Brady (
Gene Kelly) has promised his shy pal
Clarence Doolittle (
Frank Sinatra) that he will introduce
Clarence to all the glamorous movie starlets whom he allegedly knows so well. Actually, the only actress whom
Joseph meets is bit player
Susan Abbott (
Kathryn Grayson). He arranges for the golden-throated
Susan to be auditioned by musician
José Iturbi, but when she seems to want to return the favor romantically,
Brady tries to foist the girl off on
Clarence. But
Clarence only has eyes for a fellow Brooklynite (
Pamela Britton). Also involved in the plot machinations is runaway orphan
Donald Martin (
Dean Stockwell). Featuring
Kelly dancing with such partners as a cartoon mouse (courtesy of
MGM's house animators
Bill Hanna and
Joseph Barbera),
Anchors Aweigh was a huge hit in 1945, assuring audiences future
Gene Kelly/
Frank Sinatra teamings.
