My Fave: Guys and Dolls
Tuesday, April 14th, 2009
Recently I saw another favorite: Guys and Dolls. It stars Marlon Brando, Jean Simmons, Frank Sinatra and Vivian Blaine. Now, I know that Marlon Brando is famous for other well-known films like The Godfather, A Streetcar Named Desire and Apocalypse, but I’ll always remember his lead performance in the film musical, Guys and Dolls.
I love the typical but special story of a bad boy (Gambler Sky Masterson) who meets a good girl (Missionary, Sergeant Sarah Brown). Sparks fly, then they find themselves in love when the dust settles. I love that actor Marlon sings. I wouldn’t have known that he had a singing voice from watching his other movies but he does. He played a convincing Hero.
One of my favorite scenes is when Marlon sings I’ll Know — a song about how his character will recognize real love. I also enjoy when he sings Luck Be a Lady Tonight.
I like the heroine, Sergeant Sarah Brown, too. This ‘good’ girl is a real good girl who has spunk and can hold her own when things get rough. Sky Masterson soon realizes this when they go to Cuba on a date and she gets into a fight with another woman who is trying to steal his attention away from her.
Have any of you seen this movie? I always enjoy watching it.
