With the first dance sequence, I got kind of worried and thought it would be a rather long and boring watch. Fortunately, as soon as Frank Sinatra and, above all, Marlon Brando showed up, it became much more enjoyable. I mean, Frank Sinatra was pretty good but I was above all impressed by Marlon Brando.
