Another 50s musical on 10-inch LP, this one a tale of sailors on leave. Not an original concept, it's true, and many of the songs have a manufactured quality as well. But the leads are the attractive Gordon MacRae and Jane Powell, and some of the tunes are fine, particularly the lovely "Face to Face," so all's not lost on this soundtrack album.
Or, to be more exact, on this album of songs from the movie. Rather than using the soundtrack itself, Capitol remade the songs using the arrangements of George Greeley for this 1953 release.

One final note: the rather large sailor on the right in the cover artwork represents Jack E. Leonard, of all people, taking the comical sidekick role. The other lead was Gene Nelson. Neither appears on this LP.
