Film Forum's Sunday-morning family series returns from its summer break with the 1949 musical that put Gene Kelly, Frank Sinatra and Jules Munshin on actual New York streets for its opening number, years before that became normal practice. Twenty-four hours of shore leave, a Leonard Bernstein score, and Ann Miller as a paleontologist with designs on a sailor. It is an 11 am show built for kids and whoever brings them.

A single 11:00 am screening on Sunday, running roughly 98 minutes, co-directed by Gene Kelly and Stanley Donen. Admission is $14, or $12 with a Film Forum membership. The family series continues weekly on Sunday mornings from this date through mid-December.
