8 months without a dame...can you beat it?


faced with 8 months at sea without a dame, Channing's Burt Gurney asks the musical question: "can you beat it?". He then proceeds to find solace dancing with his fellow deprivees. [and people on this board are saying they walked out on this comic gem of a movie. How do you please such people?] I for one will now never be able to watch Gene Kelly's merry sailor-fest "On the Town" without bursting into gut-busting laughter. Ruined it for me. Thanks for nothing, Coen Bros!!
