Original MGM Half Sheet Poster (22×28) for the George Sidney musical comedy, ANCHORS AWEIGH (1945) starring Frank Sinatra, Kathryn Grayson, and Gene Kelly. This delightful, light-hearted, romantic musical comedy centers on two sailors (Sinatra and Kelly) who have a few days leave in Hollywood. They meet a little boy who wants to run away from home and join the navy. When they take him home, they meet his singer-wannabe aunt (Grayson), and the romance begins. Released some months before the end of the war, this film was Gene Kelly’s first true starring role at MGM and one of his major musical triumphs of the 1940s. This original half sheet poster is folded and in very good condition.
