comment
Anchors Aweigh is a musical-comedy from 1945 directed by George Sidney.Two sailors, Joe (Gene Kelly) and Clarence (Frank Sinatra), meet a girl, Susan, on shore leave, after her nephew, Donald, tries to run away to join the Navy. Susan wants to be a singer, and Joe tries to help her career, but he's falling for her. Problem is Clarence has already fallen for her.This film was the first to pair Sinatra and Kelly, and notable for a musical number with Jerry of the Tom and Jerry cartoons.Also look for a young Dean Stockwell as Donald.See also On the Town.

Mistaken for Gay: Joe is trying to instruct Clarence on how to pick up girls. He's miming an excessively feminine walk, when a passerby sees him and gives him a long, strange look.

Offscreen Moment of Awesome: Clarence has been trying to get past security and into a movie studio so that he can get Susan an audition. He tries and fails multiple times. Joe waltzes up to security, asks to see the movie executive, says he's expected—and after a cut, somehow they are in the studio.

comment
Jerkass: The two leads actually have shades of this, with Joe a bit worse than Clarence. The duo's first song is them basically bragging and rubbing their shore leave in the faces of the other sailors, and later they both sing a song smearing Susan's reputation just to scare off a potential boyfriend.

Suddenly Speaking: Jerry in the dance number. Though in this case it was part of a story Joe was telling. Jerry's actress, Sara Berner, had actually previously voiced him in the 1944 Tom and Jerry short "The Zoot Cat" for a single line.
