This may come as a shock to most people, But I believe that "on the town" was slightly better than "singin in the rain." The overall cast had prodigious talents, and chemistry together. There was no hint of pessimism or violence. This is why I believe musicals are the best genre of movies always.
Frank Sinatra and Gene Kelly were one of the best combo's in cinema history. Their work together in anchors aweigh, take me out to the ballgame and on the town, is what made these movies so full of exuberance. Jules Munshin facetiousness added a great element to this movie.
The female leads were wonderful as well. All had prominent careers because of their manifold talents. Who could forget Ann Miller's dancing in easter parade, or Vera-Ellen in white Christmas? Betty Garrett also achieved acclaim in Take me out to the ballgame, and also on Broadway.
Take the time to see this movie, to see how having fun and looking for love, can come together splendidly!
