Guys and Dolls Reviews
The showtunes are weapons-grade: especially Sit Down You're Rockin' the Boat, which never fails to get any audience on its feet. A must.
| Original Score: 5/5 | Dec 25, 2014
Joseph L Mankiewicz's adaptation of the Frank Loesser Broadway musical, itself adapted from Damon Runyon stories, looks a treat. The wonder of the film is that it combines widescreen colour and opulence with an earthy, street-level humour.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 19, 2014
Brando the singing actor and Sinatra the acting singer make a remarkable pair as sharp-suited gangsters and gamblers, along with their "dolls", Vivian Blaine and the English actress Jean Simmons.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 19, 2014
Brando and Sinatra are on top form, but it's Simmons who steals the show.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 19, 2014
Ultimate odd couple Marlon Brando and Frank Sinatra play charismatic cats in hats and spats on the mean (but very clean) streets of New York.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 15, 2014
Brando wasn't producer Sam Goldwyn's first choice as Sky (that was Gene Kelly) but he acquits himself outstandingly.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 24, 2013
Conceivably the best picture Sam Goldwyn ever produced.

Classic Sinatra/Brando musical is a whole lot of fun.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 24, 2010
Guys and Dolls is a bangup filmusical in the topdrawer Goldwyn manner.

A musical fairly glittering with intelligence and invention.
