Anchors Aweigh (M.G.M.), a shore-leave saga with music, dancing, and Technicolor's full palette, is easily the pleasantest couple of hours that can be bought currently in a movie theater. Its standard-bearers : Gene Kelly, a sailor fairly enough described as the Sea Wolf; his sidekick Frank Sinatra, a shy type but eager to learn; Kathryn Grayson, a movie extra who wants to become a famous singer; and José Iturbi, who is surprised but very nice about it when Miss Grayson, being kidded by the sailors, turns up for an audition...
Sociologists and psychologists seek her "expert guidance" and learn, from the filly's mouth, that she likes privacy, pinups, shelves for doodads, lolling interminably at telephones and in bathtubs.

Kicked around rather heartlessly among these three is Bill Williams, an unlucky lump of puppy love. During most of the film Mr. Young is about as systematically caddish as a man can well be and yet rate stellar billing; he even pretends...
...into up-to-date English by Editor Harry J. Owens of Chicago's Lakeside Press, Reynard emerges again, a lively and unscrupulous opportunist, still happy to live by his wits in picturesque unrespectability. "A thief, a traitor and an assassin"-in the words of his archenemy, Isengrim the Wolf-Reynard remains a likable rascal...
