Take Me Out to the Ball Game


1949 MGM musical starring Frank Sinatra and Gene Kelly and directed by Busby Berkeley.  How could it be anything but wonderful.  Amazingly, it's terrible.  Frank and Gene are baseball players who play vaudeville in the off season.  Esther Willliams is the new owner of the baseball team (and just happens to live in a hotel with a swimming pool).  There are no familiar songs, other than the title song.  It was boring, boring, boring.  Lucky Ned--he had other things to do today!
