Mar 27, 2022Sinatra is boring but Brando isn't (a truly surprising thing to see in a musical) and while some of the cuts to the original stage show are vexing, overall it keeps the spirit and style intact. We should be very grateful Kidd's fantastic choreography got to stay in.Alec B Super Reviewer

Oct 20, 2013Great performances, suave vocals from Sinatra, and irresistible Marlon Brando charm. What more could you ask for? Guys and Dolls is truly a classic.Maymay A Super Reviewer

Jan 28, 2011The opening says it all. Or rather, shows it. A beautifully choreographed piece sets the tone of the film, the city, and the characters. As we follow a watch being stolen numerous times, it shows us the petty crime, and the fun and exuberant dances show us the whimsical nature. Sinatra is great as Nathan Detroit, and Brando shows us a completely new side to himself. Sure, his singing may have been cut and pasted from multiple takes, but cinema is all abut creating illusions. The film may be gentle and obvious, but none can deny the sheer excellence of routines, such as the sewer craps game. Making good use of color, movement, humor, and songs, this is a classically addictive film.Luke B Super Reviewer

Sep 05, 2010If you don't think Brando has range, you need to see this movie. I love it, the songs are good, the actors are good, the story is interesting, and it's exciting and romantic too. I love it.
