Hallelujah | Hit The Deck | Warner Archive 

Anne Miller has feet of fire!

Could Debbie Reynolds get any more adorable?

The main singers are amazing as always, but can we talk about the background harmonies as well. This movie was wonderful all around!

God I love the dresses with the sky blue pettiskirts, it's beautiful color combo with the lighter gold.

Now, this is what I call a musical. Talent exploding all over the place! It's like Ann Miller has restless leg syndrome. I love it. ❤🎉

Isn't that fabulous! It sends shivers down the spine watching. I wonder if such wonderful entertainment will ever come back into fashion.

Ann Miller I thought was a brilliant dancer who never really got the fame she deserved -could dance a lot of so called stars of the day off the stage - such talent!!!

There was a time that when we went out the theatre we were happy singing and dancing with the world. Oh God how I miss those days.

Always been a big fan of Tony Martin and his marvelous voice. I had assumed he was an Italian-American, looked him up recently and- surprise! He's of Polish extraction. Rest in Peace, Tony and Cyd!

I love how pleasant the 1950s music was!

Wow! Modern films can’t replicate this scene.

Just bought the movie. Can’t wait to see it all!!!

‘Hit the Deck” and “Kiss Me Kate” are my two favourite M.G.M. musicals and they both feature the divine Ann Miller.

Goodbye Jane Powell. 😔 One of the last living stars from this era just died. She and the other ladies here were so wonderful.

The lead singer in the turquoise dress is KAR ARMEN... Armenians can be very proud of her talent!

Hallelujah Jane Powell we’ll see you in another lifetime

underrated film - Hollywood sure knows how to give the navy appeal.

i dont think a woman in 1955 could really have any more fun that this woman twirling around on stage smiling

02:50 ... GO ANNIE! ❤️😂

BTW ... The first minute, plus, is all one shot. Great stuff.

Voices, dancing, costumes, oh such talent

Gorgeous Helen Rose costumes

My favorite part is the choral singing ... really impressive.

Hallelujah! What a better way to start an all-out glistening-and-heartening day than mulling and reveling in one of the most romp-enhancing, heart-entrancing,and pomp-evincing musical segments ever exquisitely-featured on the silver screen. This grand aboard-the-battleship finale number in the 1955 MGM big-budget razzle-dazzle crowd-pleaser / spirit-raiser "Hit the Deck" has doubtless trotted out an old-fashioned but perennially eye-popping and jaw-dropping musical extravaganza that is being fabulously-and-sedulously tuned-up with Mr Roy Rowland's buttered-up and uncluttered scene-styling; Mr Hermes Pan's gaily-staged and gilt-edged step-design; Mr George Folsey's gaudily-and-steadily widescreen camerawork; Mr Vincent Youmans / Mr Leo Robin and Mr Clifford Grey's deeply appealing-and-propelling song-piece; Mr Cedric Gibbons and Mr Paul Groesse / Mr Fred MacLean and Mr Edwin B Willis' quite gushy-and-plushy setting-look; Ms Helen Rose's utterly impressive-and-exclusive costume-designing ( such as the fitly-pleated gold skirt spiffed up with the cerulean petticoat that distinctively makes Ms Ann Miller look all the more lovelier-and-livelier than ever ); and needless to say the well coordinated-and-personated musical staging by MGM's most brilliant blue-chip superstars of the olden days together with a fine troupe of hoofing clean-cut and nice-looking navy chorus. Indeed there's no better way to adulate its charismatic grandeur and to emulate its cinematic stature than right now. This particular braced-up segment - showcasing the smokin' hot Ms Ann Miller's thrilling-twirling and signature rapid-fire tap-dancing with an extreme ardor and splendor in front of a company of gallant-and-nonchalant swabs - is straight out standout. Plus Ms Kay Armen's high-powered voice and well-registered screen-presence has added more charm and gusto to this exuberant finale number. This MGM's work of art has truly succeeded to bring a glimpse of an awesome-and-winsome yesteryear to all the classic musical-movie lovers. It's a sort of rekindling-or-dwelling upon the glories and pleasant memories of the past once again. All in all it's our pride and joy / a rare find that needs to be highly regarded and safeguarded.

I don’t know how many times I have watched this . I will keep watching it . Totally Amazing 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

Revoir ça après 65 ans c'est prodigieux. Je l'ai vu quand j'avais 15 ans en 1959 dans la grande salle de cinéma du casino de Blankenberghe. Je n'ai jamais oublié le bonheur de ce film.

I just loved this MGM Spectacular, my Beloved Ann Miller in the Gold lame pleatted full circle hatlrer dress, and Devine Debbie Reynolds, and Jane Powell, and Tony Martin, we will never see anything like that again, Thank God for DVD'S, VHS Tapes, and You Tube.

Wonderful number from a great film.

This a ALOT of talent for just one film! Gold lame dresses for days!

This is when stars were really STARS, not like many of today’s actors.

😂OMG Ann Miller. Man, she killed all the roaches.

Ms Day’s best role. She should have received an Oscar for it!

Wonderful Musical. They don't make these classics anymore.

FABULOULUS RENDITION EVER IN STEREOPHONIC TECHNICOLOR AND WIDE SCREEN EVER! MERCI BEAUCOUP! EMMANUEL FROM FRANCE

This is amazing! Love it!

Fantastic number! Tony Martin is one of my favourite singers. I think his best song is 'Tenement Symphony' from the Marx Brothers' movie 'The Big Store.' Critics didn't like it but his fans loved it! It became a regular number in his concerts.

THOSE WERE THE DAYS

All this time I thought this was MGM. It was in "That's Entertainment!"

amazing, wonderful...

Debbie ,Ann,Jane 3 wonderful talents.A delightful and rarely seen movie.It has never been shown on UK tv.Why?

Absolutely, Amazing!

Vic Damone had the BEST voice. Tony Martin too!

I know that Eleanor Powell was not pleased with this number. After all, Ann Miller stole this number from three of Eleanor Powell's movies...namely the finale from Born to Dance, Ship Ahoy and her shipboard number from Broadway Melody of 1940. In fact, Ann Miller's throwing of the sailor hat is a direct copy of Eleanor Powell throwing the sailor hat in the I Am A Captain number in Broadway Melody of 1940

OUTSTANDING NEW COLOR PRINT EVER! BRAVO FOR HOLLYWOOD HISTORICAL RELEASE!

Amazing

Jane Powell is still here!

Please somebody bring bsck musicsls for the ssdly, insane world.

The lady in aqua blue is Kay Armen, a popular singer of the 1940's and 50's.

WOW They don't make movies like this anymore

At about 1 min Jane Powell and Debbie Reynolds leap up alongside a central singer in a long dress gown - I don't recognize he face - does anyone know her name ? Love her voice !

Ann Miller is adorable

Hallelujah 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

woman at 1:00 looks like the statue of liberty lol

Debbiee♥♥♥♥

AND TECHNICOLOR COLORS TO!Emmanuel

Young Russ Tamblyn long before West Side Story.

I'm literally crying...musicals are a form of emotional response and withdrawn therapy like EMDR

❤❤Daddy❤❤ Joan Noeldechen 😊

Ann Miller always acknowledged inspiration from Eleanor Powell, but you cannot count how much she 'borrowed' here. Drilling a squad ('Rosalie'), throwing the hat off ('All Ashore'), advancing into a big CU (rare in the early days of widescreen), the big battleship guns out of 'Born to Dance'... I hope Ellie got royalties. The number is a slick melange of cliches, surprisingly so for Hermes Pan. It was one of MGM's and Pasternak's last efforts in the genre and betrays terminal fatigue. The script warmed up old Youman tunes and a Broadway property, 'Shore Leave', adapted for the second time by Dorothy Fields's brother Herbert; it had already furnished an early talkie for Jack Oakie, now lost. Directed by Roy Rowland, a studio hack whose uncle by marriage was one Louis B Mayer but who wound up shooting spaghetti westerns in Italy. Miller's career was dogged by shameful undervaluation. It did not let up for this, her final appearance in a big musical: she was only billed seventh. As a singer and hoofer, she knocked spots off Jane Powell and Debbie Reynolds, but she was too familiar after so long in programmers and Bs. Where would the Hollywood musical have been without chorus boys dressed as matelots, from Cagney and Shanghai Lil onwards? A definite whiff of 'Don't ask, don't tell' about some of these lads.

Is that CinemaScope or what? With faves Tony Martin, Jane Powell, Debbie Reynolds, Russ Tamblyn, Walter Pidgeon and more! It's no hype to say that Ann Miller tap-danced as well as did Eleanor Powell before her.

The 7th fleet sailors were in this part

navy dance bit . Eleanor Powell killed any one trying to use that as set up for a dance number . was great effort , i never seen this and see why she is ranked a great dancer. respect

🙏

I'll bet in the evenings those chorus boys were more cruisy than then Fire Island.

Kay was an actress and composer as well.

She had a tragic third marriage where her husband, Milner, threw her down a flight of stairs, she went into early labour and baby Mary only lived three hours and died.

Hit the Deck was such a wonderful filmed MGM musical with great performances, music and production values. I could never understand why it attracted such sniffy and demeaning reviews on release and over the years..

Amerikalılar bu işi biliyor bee

Are those tap shoes or were they heels she was tapping in and they recorded the tap shoes in pre/post?

Hola! Como se llama una pelicula donde es una joven q trabaja en un centŕo comercial y cuida el bebe de una vecina y el dueño del centro comercial cree q ella es mama soltera.gracias

Everything about that scene is great, but I think if they would have fired the big guns at the end it would have been better. I understand they couldn't use real guns there and fake guns firing would have cost a fortune, but in my mind it would have made it near perfect.

🥰

Ann Miller didnt ever seem to change her makeup colours , did anyone notice that ? her eye makeup was always blue and her lips red .

I still an't joining the Navy....

💐❤️

I actually don't really like musicals ... but oh how I love Ann Miller

Okay
