The third and least of the three great Kelly-Donen MGM musicals--but that's no knock, considering the others were "On the Town" and "Singin' in the Rain." [27 Jan 2006, p.C7]
The film's mixture of parody, cynicism, and song and dance is perhaps a little sour; though the numbers are exhilarating and the movie is really much more fun that the wildly overrated On the Town, it doesn't sell exuberance in that big, toothy way, and it was a box office failure.
Kelly, Dailey, and Michael Kidd are good as the three returning veterans, but their abilities are no match for an unbelievable script and that good old MGM realism. [02 Nov 1955, p.6]
