Movie Review: Guys and Dolls
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a true classic. Greta actors, wonderful script, some of the best Broadway music in one show. Another must see for the "musical" enthusiast.
Summary of Guys and Dolls
Hollywood legends Marlon Brando Frank Sinatra Jean Simmons and Vivian Blaine (from the original Broadway cast) are dazzling in this Frank Loesser (How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying) masterpiece unleashing a "spectacular song-and-dance show that's loaded with entertainment" (New York Journal-American). Featuring hits like "Luck Be A Lady" and "A Woman in Love" this smash film version of one of Broadway's most popular musicals is guaranteed rip-roaring "four-star entertainment" (New York Daily News).The slickest big-time New York City gamblers Sky Masterson (Brando) and Nathan Detroit (Sinatra) can't resist making or taking a bet on anything. So When a pretty missionary (Simmons) sets up shop in the neighborhood Nathan stakes a grand that Sky can't seduce her. But all bets are off when Sky falls madly in love in this romantic musical spectacular that sets the Big Apple afire with excitement!System Requirements:Starring: Marlon Brando Jean Simmons Frank Sinatra Vivian Blane Robert Keith Stubby Kaye Sheldon Leonard Regis Toomey and B.S. Pulley. Directed By: Joseph L. Mankiewicz. Running Time: 149 Min. Color. This film is presented in "Widescreen" format. Copyright 2000 MGM Studios.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: MUSICALS/MUSICALS Rating: NR UPC: 027616809322Joseph Mankiewicz's brightly stylized film of Frank Loesser's classic musical (based on the stories of Damon Runyon) casts the criminal underworld as a harmless fantasy in this whimsical vision of the Big Apple. Nonsingers Marlon Brando and Jean Simmons acquit themselves fine in the lead roles as high-rolling gambler Sky Masterson and Salvation Army missionary Sarah Brown. It's odd casting, to say the least. Frank Sinatra, who plays the good old reliable Nathan Detroit (who runs "the oldest established permanent floating crap game in New York") is left with novelty tunes while husky Brando delivers the love songs and hits, including "Luck Be a Lady." But in the context of the colorful dialogue and comically affected speech patterns (a giddy gangster-speak straight out of Runyon's breezy stories) the song performances aren't the least out of place. Stubby Kaye, reprising his role as Nicely Nicely from the Broadway run, practically steals the show in his few scenes and his show-stopping solo "Sit Down, You're Rocking the Boat." The film is overlong at two and a half hours and somewhat stagily confined in the stylized, studio-bound sets--perhaps the mark of a director who had never helmed a musical before--but a terrific cast of eccentrics and Michael Kidd's high-energy choreography gives the film a memorable and enchanting character. --Sean Axmaker
