I think that most of us with an artistic bent, have played some part in this musical in high school drama, or tried out for part in the theater, or in some community theater, or watched the tape a bizillion times. Well, I sure have watched it many times, I have the sheet music and sing all the songs. They are such great songs. I think Rosie O'Donnell (The Rosie O'Donnell Show, Sleepless in... read more

Description: Joseph 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 ... (more)

" Pair a legendary singer with a legendary actor and this is what you get. Marlon Brando delivers a great performance considering he is not a musical guy. And of course Frank Sinatra plays a funny and lovable Nathan Detroit. Overall this is another one of those films where everything just comes together and makes for a great piece of entertainment. Sure, it has a few flaws, but the joy and entertainment I get from it override those paltry complaints. And of course: "

I think that most of us with an artistic bent, have played some part in this musical in high school drama, or tried out for part in the theater, or in some community theater, or watched the tape a bizillion times. Well, I sure have watched it many times, I have the sheet music and sing all the songs. They are such great songs. I think Rosie O'Donnell (The Rosie O'Donnell Show, Sleepless in Seattle), should make fewer mistakes in the lyrics, though. She is great about knowing all the words of the musicals. She always amazes me. I liked "Sky Masterson" Marlon Brando (Apocalypse Now), he sure was a very lovable and to a certain degree an innocent sinner, who knew a lot about the Bible.
