Two Girls And A Sailor
11 Jun 2000
This jewel is one of my favorite musicals. Here's why. First, the viewer watches the two female leads grow up on screen, physically and musically; second, it is bouncy and perky, with good dialogue and memorable musical numbers; third, there is an element of suspense as the female leads and the audience guess who provided the canteen; fourth, Allyson and DeHaven blend beautifully, in voice and personality; and fifth, Jimmy Durante provides good comic relief. In the first half of the movie, Gloria DeHaven sings "What Are You Going To Do Now?" on top of a piano, surrounded by serviceman. Her delivery is supurb, and I find myself backing it up many times, just to replay that number. Later on, June Allyson sings "Young Man With a Horn," with band leader great Harry James. Although love triangles are a common plot in musicals of this era, the relationship between the two sisters keeps the plot from being obvious. I never tire of this one. It is top-notch entertainment.

If only I could have worked at MGM...

This is one of my favorites. June and Gloria are a great team, acting and singing together perfectly. Jimmy Durante really shines in this movie, and Van Johnson is cute. Tom Drake is bland but there is so much fun and great music in this movie it doesn't matter. A WWII moral booster that doesn't drag or get soggy,with a
freaky dream sequence AND Virginia O'Brien doing what she does best. I also like the growing up in show business storyline. Gloria
DeHaven has a beautiful voice which should be praised more often.

June Allyson And Gloria DeHaven Are Great As The Two Sisters. Van Johnson And Tom Drake Are Great As Their Love Interests. But Who Will Get Who At The End? You'll See! But On To The Real Part Of This Film.... THE MUSIC~! I Fell In LOve With Gloria's "My Mother Told Me" She sings On Top Of A Piano With A Bunch Of Servicemen. We All Know VAn Johnson Is The Rich Tar (A Sailor) That HAs 60 Million Dollars. Great Film For Every One! I Would Give This One A Couple Billion Stars If I Could Only Do That!!!!
