  2. Guys and Dolls Movie Review

    Our review: Parents say ( 2 ): Kids say ( 12 ): This musical classic, based on the stories of Damon Runyon, is a lot of fun, despite the fact that two of the leads are not singers and none of them can dance. But Brando and Simmons do surprisingly well, especially in the scenes set in Havana, and the movie is brash and splashy enough to be ...

  11. Guys and Dolls (1955)

    Guys and Dolls really shouldn't have worked. Helmed by a director with no experience with musicals, starring two legendarily feuding leads, neither of whose singing styles (crooning/mumbling-with-notes) fit the piece, it's a testament to the fundamental fun of the Broadway show (faithfully adapted here) that its filmic companion is somehow all the more infectiously charming as a summation of ...

  15. Guys And Dolls (1955) Movie Review from Eye for Film

    On its release, Guys And Dolls drew immediate interest as the movie in which Brando sings. His casting as Sky seems odd, given that Ole Blue Eyes was on board, but Goldwyn knew he would attract crowds, eager to see if a Method actor of Brando's intensity (A Streetcar Named Desire) and dramatic style (On The Waterfront) could carry a tune and dance.

  17. Frank Sinatra's legend lives on in films

    In "Guys and Dolls," he was Damon Runyon's professional gambler Nathan Detroit, the operator of "the oldest-established permanent floating crap game in New York," and sang about "ever- loving Adelaide." For Sinatra in the mid-1950s, being a movie actor was central to his career. Before and after that golden period, he had his mind on other things.
