Dit is beslist een uitmuntende musical uit 1944 met grote jonge sterren en beroemde veteranen onder leiding van Charles Vidor. Rita Hayworth, (Rusty Parker), 'Charlie Chan in Egypt', zong en danste met Gene Kelly, (Danny McGuire), 'Anchors Away', Danny McGuire had een nachtclub in Brooklyn, New York, en was verliefd op Rusty Parker, die samen met Phil Silvers, (Genius), 'Coney Island', de komiek in deze film was en ook samen werkte en danste met Danny, Rusty. De muziek van deze film wordt door de hele film heen gehoord en het nummer 'Long Ago & Far Away' is de themamuziek van deze musical. Deze film is vele malen genomineerd voor prijzen en was een grote hit tijdens de première tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog, waardoor de mensen niet meer aan de oorlog dachten die in die tijd gaande was. Rita Hayworth en Gene Kelly waren instant-successen en hun carrière is vele jaren op het witte doek te zien geweest. Fantastische Musical en een film die je niet wilt missen, dit is echt een geweldige Klassieke Film.
