On the Town [Movie]

Release date: December 8, 1949
Comments: Musical film with music by Leonard Bernstein and Roger Edens and book and lyrics by Betty Comden and Adolph Green, and directed by Gene Kelly and Stanley Donan. It is an adaptation of the Broadway stage musical, On the Town, although many changes in script and score were made from the original stage version; for instance, most of Bernstein's music was dropped in favor of new songs by Edens, who disliked the majority of the Bernstein score for being too complex and too operatic. This caused Bernstein to boycott the film.

The film premiered in New York City, because going on general release on December 30, 1949. There was no soundtrack released at the time.
