Triple bill of classic musicals starring Frank Sinatra. In 'Anchors Aweigh' (1945) Sinatra and Gene Kelly star as two sailors looking for female companionship while on a four-day pass in Los Angeles. They meet a Hollywood extra (Kathryn Grayson) and try to help her realise her dream of being a star. The film features a famous sequence where Kelly dances with Jerry, the cartoon mouse of 'Tom and Jerry' fame. In 'On the Town' (1949) three sailors (Sinatra, Kelly and Jules Munshin) hit New York City for a 24-hour shore leave. The first order of business is to find some women to spend it with and the boys hook up with Ivy (Vera-Ellen), an aspiring dancer, Hildy (Betty Garrett), a lady cab driver, and Claire (Ann Miller), a paleontology student, causing mayhem across Manhattan. In 'Robin and the Seven Hoods' (1964) an all-star cast revamp the Robin Hood legend, bringing it to Chicago during the Prohibition era where two gangs are competing for territory. Starring alongside Sinatra are Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr, Bing Crosby and Peter Falk.
