Take Me Out To The Ball Game Blu-Ray

Frank Sinatra and Gene Kelly play baseball in grand style as 20th-century vaudevillians who spend their winters throwing blarney on stage and their summers throwing the old horsehide for the baseball world champions, the Wolves. Sinatra is second baseman Dennis Ryan and Kelly is shortstop Eddie O'Brien in this Busby Berkeley-directed film that combines baseball with the other all-American pastime: romance. Esther Williams plays the new team owner and Betty Garrett is a baseball Annie with eyes for the blue-eyed Ryan. Kelly and Stanley Donen's skillful musical staging ranges from a charming duet with soft shoes to an exciting Kelly solo with a "barrel roll." Their work persuaded producer Arthur Freed to give the green light for their direction of On the Town that same year. Special features on the disc: Deleted musical numbers "Baby Doll" and "Boys and Girls like You and Me."

Animated short "The Cat and the Mermouse"
