HIT THE DECK (DVD MOVIE) (Sale)
HIT THE DECK (DVD MOVIE) Hit the lights! An all-star cast and plenty of big numbers make this classic 1955 musical a blast. Russ Tamblyn, Vic Damone, and Tony Martin are three wacky sailors on leave. Debbie Reynolds, Jane Powell, and the immortal Ann Miller are three girls ready for romance. High jinks ensue. Miller’s character, Ginger, is a nightclub singer, allowing for maximum dance numbers and costume changes. Yes, it’s a big, silly MGM musical with plenty of songs, jokes, and splashy colors, and it’s quite a bit of fun. Fred Astaire choreographer Hermes Pan provided the at-times hilariously elaborate dance numbers, and “Hallelujah,” the big finale, is presented in all its original widescreen glory so you won’t miss a cannon. It’s enough to make you want to enlist. –Ali Davis

Customer Review: An old fashioned, feel-good musical comedy!
This film’s unenthusiastic reception is often attributed to its “outdated” style (even for 1955.) However, this is no problem for those of us who enjoy old fashioned movies! The story features three sailors going home on leave; Russ Tamblin to see his sister, Vic Damone to visit his mom, and Tony Martin to patch it up with his fianc of six years! Although the multiple storylines keep everything going at a brisk pace, there’s still plenty of time for singing, dancing, and falling in love.
I was unfamiliar with Ann Miller and Tony Martin before I saw this, but I was by no means disappointed by their performances in this film. As the oldest of the three pals, Martin adds a lot to the story (and the score,) while Miller, his long-suffering girlfriend, showcases her great comedic talent and enviable tap dancing skills. The delightful Jane Powell catches the eye of an older man, which has her brother (Russ Tamblin) on the alert. Aided by a cute showgirl (Debbie Reynolds), Tamblin gets in trouble when he tries to rescue his sister from the schmoozer. Meanwhile, Vic Damone tries to reunite his mother and her new gentleman friend, who gets his nose out of joint because she lied to him about her son’s age!
Full of memorable songs, charismatic stars, an amusing story and wonderful dancing, this is a musical to lift your spirits and put a smile on your face! Apparently I’m in the minority here, but I like Hit the Deck better than On the Town. This is now one of my favorite MGM musicals. If you’re a fan of old-fashioned musicals, you’ll like this one!
