<P> They are assisted by, and become romantically involved with, two women, and pair up: Ozzie with Claire, an anthropologist; and Chip with Hildy Esterhazy, an aggressively amorous taxi driver . Claire claims that she's found her passionate "Prehistoric Man" in Ozzie at the Museum of Anthropological History . Hildy invites Chip to "Come Up to My Place". Finally finding Ivy, Gabey takes her on an imaginary date down his home town "Main Street" in a studio in Symphonic Hall - not realising that she is also from the same town . Later, Chip sincerely falls for Hildy telling her "You're Awful"--that is, awful nice to be with . That evening, all the couples meet at the top of the Empire State Building to celebrate a night "On the Town". </P> <P> But when an ashamed Ivy walks out on Gabey to get to her late night work as a cooch dancer, the friends tell a despondent Gabey, "You Can Count on Me", joined by Hildy's annoying, but well - meaning roommate, Lucy Schmeeler . They have a number of adventures before reuniting with Ivy at Coney Island just as their 24 - hour leave ends and they must return to their ship to head off to sea . Although their future is uncertain, the boys and girls share one last kiss on the pier as a new crew of sailors heads out into the city for their leave ("New York, New York" reprise). </P> <Ul> <Li> Gene Kelly as Gabey </Li> <Li> Frank Sinatra as Chip </Li> <Li> Jules Munshin as Ozzie </Li> <Li> Ann Miller as Claire Huddesen </Li> <Li> Betty Garrett as Brunhilde "Hildy" Esterhazy </Li> <Li> Vera - Ellen as Ivy Smith </Li> <Li> Florence Bates as Madame Dilyovska </Li> <Li> Alice Pearce as Lucy Schmeeler </Li> <Li> George Meader as Professor </Li> <Li> Hans Conried as François (head waiter) (uncredited) </Li> </Ul> <Li> Gene Kelly as Gabey </Li>
