She was certain

She'd fallen in love

As they walked

Through the thrill of the night

- Why don't you write her a letter.

- Because there isn't anything to say.

Well, tell her you're sorry.

- She knows I'm sorry.

- How does she know?

Oh, Clarence, will you

write Brooklyn a letter

or wash some socks

or go to sleep or something?

Carry on.

You boys were looking for me.

What did you want to see me about?

Well, I...

- It's too late now.

- That, of course, I can tell.

Come, come along. We'll talk it over.

- Come on, I haven't got much time.

- Go ahead.

- Brooklyn, what are you doing here?

- Are you complaining, honey?

Joe, you stay right here.

Don't go away.

Ladies and gentlemen,

today I invited myself to your concert.

And because I felt it might be

of special interest to you

I requested Admiral Hammond to grant

a young artist permission

to make her debut right here.

Therefore, allow me to introduce to you

a singer discovered

by the United States Navy.

Miss Susan Abbott.

In about five minutes,

I will introduce to you

a young singer discovered

by the United States Navy.

Anchors aweigh, my boys

Anchors aweigh

Farewell to college joys

We sail at break of day

Through our last night on shore

Drink to the foam

Until we meet once more

Here's wishing you

A happy voyage home

Anchors aweigh

Isobel Lennart

Isobel Lennart (May 18, 1915 - January 25, 1971) was an American screenwriter and playwright. A native of Brooklyn, New York, Lennart moved to Hollywood, where she was hired to work in the MGM mail room, a job she lost when she attempted to organize a union. She joined the Communist Party in 1939 but left five years later. Lennart's first script, The Affairs of Martha, an original comedy about the residents of a wealthy community who fear their secrets are about to be revealed in an exposé written by one of their maids, was filmed in 1942 with Spring Byington, Marjorie Main, and Richard Carlson. This was followed in quick succession by A Stranger in Town, Anchors Aweigh, and It Happened in Brooklyn. In 1947, the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) began an investigation into the motion picture industry. Although she was never blacklisted, Lennart, a former member of the Young Communist League, testified to HUAC in 1952 to avoid being blacklisted. She later regretted this decision. Lennart's later screen credits include A Life of Her Own, Love Me or Leave Me, Merry Andrew, The Inn of the Sixth Happiness, Please Don't Eat the Daisies, The Sundowners, and Two for the Seesaw. In 1964, Lennart wrote the book for the Broadway musical Funny Girl, based on the life and career of Fanny Brice and her tempestuous relationship with gambler Nicky Arnstein. It catapulted Barbra Streisand to fame and earned her a Tony Award nomination. In 1968, Lennart wrote the screen adaptation, which won her a Writers Guild of America award for Best Screenplay. It proved to be her last work. Three years later, she was killed in an automobile accident in Hemet, California. Lennart married actor/writer John Harding in Las Vegas, Nevada in 1945. They had two children, Joshua Lennart Harding (December 27, 1947 - August 4, 1971) and Sarah Elizabeth Harding (born November 24, 1951). more…
