Two Girls And A Sailor June 11, 2000 Jeanine Ricketts (Temecula, California) 18 out of 19 found this review helpful
This jewel is one of my favorite musicals. Here's why. First, the viewer watches the two female leads grow up on screen, physically and musically; second, it is bouncy and perky, with good dialogue and memorable musical numbers; third, there is an element of suspense as the female leads and the audience guess who provided the canteen; fourth, Allyson and DeHaven blend beautifully, in voice and personality; and fifth, Jimmy Durante provides good comic relief. In the first half of the movie, Gloria DeHaven sings "What Are You Going To Do Now?" on top of a piano, surrounded by serviceman. Her delivery is supurb, and I find myself backing it up many times, just to replay that number. Later on, June Allyson sings "Young Man With a Horn," with band leader great Harry James. Although love triangles are a common plot in musicals of this era, the relationship between the two sisters keeps the plot from being obvious. I never tire of this one. It is top-notch entertainment.
If only I could have worked at MGM... October 21, 2003 jamie (Boston MA USA) 14 out of 14 found this review helpful
This is one of my favorites. June and Gloria are a great team, acting and singing together perfectly. Jimmy Durante really shines in this movie, and Van Johnson is cute. Tom Drake is bland but there is so much fun and great music in this movie it doesn't matter. A WWII moral booster that doesn't drag or get soggy,with a freaky dream sequence AND Virginia O'Brien doing what she does best. I also like the growing up in show business storyline. Gloria DeHaven has a beautiful voice which should be praised more often.
More Of MGM Greatest March 3, 2001 10 out of 11 found this review helpful
This movie is so enjoyable. The plot isn't very complicated or original, but it is easy to follow. There are some funny moments supplied by Durante. Gloria DeHaven and June Allyson also have some funny dialogue. DeHaven's vocals are spectacular. She is a very underated singer. The musical numbers are top notch. MGM has some of the greatest entertainers and they are showcased beautifully in this film. Some of my favorite musical moments are Gloria DeHaven singing "My Mother Told Me There'd Be Moments Like This", June Allyson singing "The Young Man With a Horn", Lena Horne singing, "Paper Doll" and Virginia O'Brien and the Wilde Twins singing "Take It Easy". This movie is charming from start to finish.

June Allyson And Gloria DeHaven Are Great As The Two Sisters. Van Johnson And Tom Drake Are Great As Their Love Interests. But Who Will Get Who At The End? You'll See! But On To The Real Part Of This Film.... THE MUSIC~! I Fell In LOve With Gloria's "My Mother Told Me" She sings On Top Of A Piano With A Bunch Of Servicemen. We All Know VAn Johnson Is The Rich Tar (A Sailor) That HAs 60 Million Dollars. Great Film For Every One! I Would Give This One A Couple Billion Stars If I Could Only Do That!!!!
With so much talent, how can you go wrong? July 26, 2003 Sommer L. Greer (LA, CA, USA) 6 out of 8 found this review helpful
It's great - one of my favorites. The plot is fun, but who cares when you are being constantly entertained by such famous and talented performers.
