Beautiful memory! Congrats!

I've never seen GUYS AND DOLLS before! This is a true masterpiece! Love the one-liners and the very cool double entendre jokes. Great costuming, dancing and music! SO digging this movie!

Wonderful movie. For ages I've heard about this film but never cared to watch it, though I knew many of the tunes played in it. Joseph Mackiewicz was a f***ing genius, for only a genius could shoot "All About Eve" and this film and do it both in a convincing way and with such good results.

Wonderful film. Mankievick never was pictured as a Musical Film Director but being such a great director he was able to cope with everything.. And last but not least, Brandon sings🎉🎉 🎉. So how could ask for anything more

Wonderful choreography, songs words, film’s script, happy ending. Perfect film!!! ❤

I love that the stars in this movie sang with their own voices. Lots of musicals back then were dubbed with singers for the actors. But Brando insisted using his voice.

First it wasn’t the 60s. It’s based on a great Broadway musical that premiered 1948. The lead was played by Robert Alda (father of Mash’s Allen Alda.) Two of the original cast reprised their stand-out roles in the movie - Stubby Kaye and Vivian Blaine. It was based on NYC stereotype characters created by famous writer Damon Runyon.

Because they never pulled in the crowds at the box office. Oliver and Hello Dolly were the last of the two though they did OK at the Box Office they did not do great.

In "Adelaide's Lament" where she sings "the female remaining single, constantly in suspense", the on-stage lyric was "the female remaining single, just in the legal sense". They cleaned up that one!

I have seen some of frank movies. They are simple movies but very very pleasant and you feel like surfing on a wave.

15:44 , Jerry Orbach in his first film role, he was 20 years old.

I know many people disagree but I loved Marlon as Sky Masterson.

Glad to see you launching your new boat.

Very colorful and fun film to watch. I watched this movie on Tubi weeks ago. Brando should've won an Oscar for his character in this movie (For Best Actor). 😊

I see now where Janet Jackson got the inspiration for her music video for the song "Alight". The music video has Cab Calloway and Cyd Charisse in it.

I love, love, love, love these 1950's Michael Jackson gangster clothes. ..."You been hit by, you been struck by....a smooth criminal!"..HEEEEEEEEE...........

Absolute quality film.They sure don't make them like this anymore.

It's the real thing--the score, the choreography, the technicolor. I'm so-so about the casting but it's fool-proof. Did I mention how great the choreography is? That's Michael Kidd. Classic opening niumber...and the Gambler's dance in the sewer....did I menton how great the choreography is?

Ditto! MGM and Mankiewicz brought to the screen a Broadway classic that most of us would otherwise not get to see. THE GENERATION GAP. Despite the mostly favorable response here, naysayers alledge miscasting mostly, ignoring the splendid score, the smart dialogue, Vivian Blaine's Adelaide (!), Michael Kidd's cinematography or the MGM production values of a once popular vanishing genre. One of Sinatra's less involved performances, but Brando and Simmons in their early confrontation convey the chemistry between their characters, as they had in 'Desirée' a year or so earlier. Sheldon Leonard, tv legend, is featured early on with Stubby Kaye.

@@mjd4502 Sinatra could have played Sky Masterson, so Dean Martin would play Nathan Detroit. And outside of this movie, Marlon Brando would be excellent. 🤭

Frank Sinatra wanted to do the Sky Masterson part but the producers chose the hot property Marlon Brando . Sinatra had hard feelings towards Brando but did the Nathan Detroit part . The leading lady Jean Simmons was not a singer but she was pretty potent in the 1950s box office . Miss Simmons along with Elizabeth Taylor were considered for the Audrey Hepburn part in Roman Holiday . Vivian Blaine who had done movies mainly in the 1940s was recreating her Broadway role . Stubby Kaye , B S Pully and Johnny Silver were also hold overs in their original Broadway roles .

I’m sure this was the base that Brando used for Vito Corleone’s character.

Wide wide wide screen fad sucks. Find my eyes scanning left to right, right to left, to take everything in huh

Brando is tone deaf!

My least favorite musical and shocking waste of Brando and Simmons, like playing chopsticks on a Steinway.
