Hit The Deck (1955) #WarnerArchive #WarnerBros #HitTheDeck
Hollywood musicals have always known what to do with sailors on leave: give ’em some pretty girls and some great songs and watch the fans line up to enlist! Hit the Deck hits all the right notes as three sailors (Tony Martin, Vic Damone, Russ Tamblyn) and three cuties (Jane Powell, Debbie Reynolds, Ann Miller) flirt, squabble, run afoul of shore patrol and of course, fall in love to a hit parade of Vincent Youmans tunes.
Directed By Roy Rowland
Starring Jane Powell, Tony Martin, Debbie Reynolds

So glad the majority of musicals in Hollywood's golden age were in color. B&W would not have done those amazing costumes justice. Also I would prefer to look at Ann Miller in color any day. What a gorgeous lady!!

@charliemorris2338 4 года назад

It is distracting...I prefer B andW.

@HistoricHomePlans 3 года назад

When they moved to color they really made the most of it, sometimes too much. But this scene I really liked. The B&W films of Astaire&Rogers have their own special beauty, but it's something very different.

@hebneh 4 года назад

Lots of very 1950s moves by the men here - writhing and crawling in the floor, but even more so, sliding in from the side on their knees with their arms outstretched. That’s pretty much required in a musical at that time.

@impsrule60 3 года назад

Love Ann Miller! And this clip is interesting in that it was clearly designed to help 'contemporize' Miller's immense talents for the mid-50's. Most startlingly, the symbolism of Miller literally kicking off her shoes! MGM might as well have run a banner at the bottom declaring "Ann Miller will not be tap dancing in this scene!" No self-respecting musical - on stage or film - of the early and mid-1950's could be without a Mambo-number! The sensual, hip-gyrating dance craze offered the perfect opportunity to showcase Miller's obvious 'charms', while not whirling at 80 mph. It was a smart move, and a good number. Outside of big Broadway hits brought to screen (ie: South Pacific, Gigi, Pajama Game...), the rank and file studio musical was, sadly, loosing box-office steam in the mid-1950's. Despite big names like Miller, Debbie Reynolds, Vic Damone, Jane Powell and Tony Martin, "Hit The Deck" was a decided box office disappointment. But it is cool to see this expertly performed, meticulously-calculated effort to 'update' and streamline Miller's screen persona for mid-to-late 1950's tastes! Bravo!

Next time when someone says Ann Miller was boring because she only do the tap dancing, show them this.

@esmeephillips5888 Год назад

When Ann moved from Columbia to MGM, she got smaller parts and lower billing... hut in bigger and more adventurous musicals. Metro was increasingly into ballet, including contemporary variants influenced by 'ethnic' styles of dance- the Jack Cole/Katharine Dunham vibe. Ann disliked classical ballet but was willing to transfer her energy from fast tapping to newer modes. Both as a soloist and in partnership, esp, with Ricardo Montalban, she sizzled.

@esmeephillips5888 4 года назад

Demonstrating his peerless adaptability, Hermes Pan starts the chorus off as posturing tough guys, then reduces them to babbling helplessness at Miller's feet. You have to ask how revolutionary Jerome Robbins really was, when you see the first moves of this number. Then you get the pleading, skidding and crawling which show what Pan learned from Fosse's little interlude in 'From This Moment On' ('Kiss Me Kate', two years before). He always pinpointed he drama in a situation, a skill which goes back to his earliest days 'integrating' dance into narrative with Astaire. Miller, who was besties with Pan, is a little out of her normal range as the terpsichorean equivalent of a torch singer- more Cyd's bag. At 2:12 Ann looks as if she wishes she had her tap shoes on. But she gets away with it, using her energy to radiate glowing heat instead of sparks. What a wonderful trouper.

@johnlorenzen4633 4 года назад

@jackjules7552 2 года назад

I agree. This was really a number for Cyd Charisse. In addition to Ann's awkwardness at 2:12 I might also point out that at 2:24 the poor guy is struggling to lift Miss Miller. Not that Miss Miller was heavy, but only a trained ballerina like Cyd Charisse could defy gravity and become as light as a feather when required. See Cyd in Singing in the Rain. However, this was the last time Ann danced in a film musical so let her have this number and chalk it up to camp especially with all those beefy guys around her vying for her attention. And get a load of that bright red dress!

It was introduced at the time by Jack Cole, the choreographer who is known as the father of theatrical jazz dance. You will have seen his work if you have watched some of the films starring Marilyn Monroe, Betty Grable, Jane Russell, Mitzi Gaynor or Rita Hayworth.

@sarasmith5110 5 лет назад

I agree. The character should have had a touch of sexiness to her. Betty Hutton was just too off putting. Ann Miller would have been like a backwoods Stupefying Jones character from Little Abner. She would have been fun shooting things while wowing the men.

@pipdry 5 лет назад

To this day, everyone puts down Betty Hutton in that role. So sad. She was a comedic genius and played her part very well.

@auapplemac1976 4 года назад

Garland was originally cast in the role, but became "ill" and was replaced by Hutton. I've seen some clips somewhere of Judy doing one of the numbers. Miller would have been miscast. The character is uneducated and naïve - loosely based on the real Annie Oakley. Saw the Broadway revival some years ago with Reba McIntyre and she was pretty darn good.

@johnlorenzen4633 4 года назад

@@auapplemac1976 Reba a good choice. Inspired. A little bit of country is needed to make that role really click.

@ALJarman1 4 года назад

Ann Miller would have brought her own special gifts to the character of Annie Oakley, and I think that if MGM had trusted her, or one of their other contract players, with the part, they might have actually produced a musical you could watch without cringeing (I think that, as it stands, "Annie Get Your Gun" is the least-likeable MGM musical of their golden age). My choice for the part (after Garland was out of the running) was surely Betty Garrett... but, as with Ann Miller, MGM seldom entrusted her with a whole movie, preferring to just let her fill out the edges of someone else's movie.

@jackanthony976 7 лет назад

Although I love Ann Miller, this is not the type of dance she excels in. She doesn't have the ballet training to give this type of number justice. She looks awkward at some points and appears to be struggling with some of the movements with the male dancers. I mean the number is not terrible but can hardly be classified as anything more than gaudy enjoyable camp. Ann should know that tap is where she is queen.
