Movie: On The Town
The Plainview library presents two showings, 2:30 and 7 p.m., of the film classic On The Town. Three sailors on a 24-hour pass decide to soak up the sights and sounds of New York City, and maybe find romance along the way. Adapted from the Broadway musical by Betty Comden, Adolph Green and Leonard Bernstein, On the Town is one of the freshest, most exhilarating films turned out by the old MGM regime, with a great cast, featuring Frank Sinatra, Gene Kelly and Jules Munshin. 98 minutes (unrated).
