One of the great endings to an MGM musical which I believe even made it into the 1st That’s Entertainment film. The last all star MGM musical of its kind and should have been the Easter show. Wide wide Cinemascope which probably looked great at the Music Hall.
By the way I believe Anthony Mordente is Tony Mordente who was in the original cast of WSS and one of the Jets in the film. Married Chita Rivera.
“Hit the Deck” was the second of five MGM musicals to open consecutively at the Music Hall that year, preceded by “Jupiter’s Darling” and followed by “The Glass Slipper” Easter holidays), “Interrupted Melody,” and “Love Me or Leave Me.” The last two also had dramatic content as biographies of opera diva Marjorie Lawrence and torch singer Ruth Etting.
The recently deceased Vic Damone also played a starring role at Radio City Music Hall later that year in its Christmas feature,“Kismet.” And he had also been one of the guest performers in its 1954 Christmas film, “Deep In My Heart.”
