TAKE ME OUT TO THE BALL GAME [IMPORT]

Details

• Release Year: 1948
• Genre: Classic, Comedy, Musical
• Plot: 'Enormously enjoyable with a stylish ebullience and an excellent score.' - Tom Milne, Time Out Film Guide; ; Frank Sinatra and Gene Kelly play ball in a big way as 1900s vaudevillians who spend the winter flinging the onstage blarney and the summer flinging the ol' horsehide for baseball's world champs, the Wolves.; ; Sinatra is second sacker Dennis Ryan and Kelly is shortstop Eddie O'Brien in this Busby Berkeley-directed romp that combines baseball with that other all-American pastime: romance. Esther Williams plays the new team owner and Betty Garrett is a Baseball Annie with eyes for blue-eyed Ryan. Kelly and Stanley Donen's deft musical stagings ranged from a softshoe duet charmer to an exciting 'barrel roll' Kelly solo. Their work persuaded producer Arthur Freed to green-light their direction of the same year's On the Town.
