Frank Sinatra had a streak of gangster in him which sounds tough, but it's anything but tough. Gangsters are cowards. In an actual fight, Brando would have folded up the puny Frank Sinatra no problem. Forget what you see in films; real gangsters are not brave but just mean, and they come at you from behind or trap you with greater numbers.

[@kevinmalone3210]

I thought Sintra had a huge oversized ego. I also read he had bi polar disorder. Add those two together and if this story is true, then I can see Sintra doing something like this. The FBI use to spy on Sinatra, when J Edgar Hoover ran the administration because Sinatra hung out with gangsters. The FBI report concluded Sinatra had no serious ties to the Mafia, but just had a hoodlum complex.

[@theresasmith8972]

Bobby, I agree.. I grew up in a tough neighborhood in NYC. It was always undersized people or coward men with no morals that picked on me. I was only 9 when I had to fight a 14yr. old. I did. I won too. Hard memories of being jumped and picked on because I was the innocent one. I still love NYC, but I left it behind for all the ignorant violence. One good memory I have is of my Italian step daddy dressing up in his "ice cream suit" with a boutonniere in his lapel and pretending. We ate free spaghetti that day!😆😉

I saw Sinatra in concert back around 1980. He sang a song from Guys & Dolls called Luck Be a Lady Tonight, sung by Brando in the film. He introduced the song by saying, “This song was sung by that great American baritone, Marlon Brando.” The audience laughed at the sarcastic dig at Brando’s singing ability. Apparently, Sinatra was still nursing a grudge about Brando beating him out for the role of Sky Masterson.

[@laddrusso5243]

@@blobboflava You would think after 25 years he’d let it go. But no! Not Frank. It was a great concert. The best concert of popular music I’ve ever attended. The orchestra was magnificent. And Buddy Rich opened the show with his own fabulous band. What a drummer! Frank and Buddy Rich had a feud going back when they both performed with Tommy Dorsey’s orchestra back in the early 40’s. Frank had a couple of his boys give Buddy a good ass kicking on the street one day! The level of musicianship was incredible. Frank was in good form that night. The audience response was tremendous. I’m just glad I got to see him.

@@stevenyourke7901 Wow. I love your detail in your storytelling. Sinatra has had the mindset of an easily upset man of Medievil Italy and if he had not been a singer he would have been most likely in the Mafia. Thanks again for great story. Please tell me more. 👌

[@bikefixer]

One correction. Guys and Dolls was produced by Samuel Goldwyn Studios, not MGM. Also, the feud continued into the 1970s. Before Brando was officially cast in The Godfather, Sinatra offered his services to director, Francis Coppola. Coppola had gone to Sinatra to assure him that the Johnny Fontane character would not resemble Sinatra's life. Sinatra was pleased the director reached out to him and responded, "I love you, Francis. If you want me to, I'll play the Godfather for you" Brando was hired soon after. I've never heard how Sinatra responded to that snub.

[@williamrooth]

So, art imitates life. When Brando was in, "The Godfather" he had a lot of experience to draw from it now seems. Thanks for the video, sir!

[@marietta1335]

Also, "Guys and Dolls" is all about gamblers and gangsters, minus the rough edges to make them lovable. Sinatra's character is an illegal gambling operator while Brando's character is the toughest and highest roller of them all. Great practice pieces, them guys.

[@caramelcandy5147]

Despite his lack of singing ability Brando was perfect as Sky Masterson.

[@1967PONTIACGTO]

One of my favourite musicals to see live, but the movie doesn't work for me, and this is largely due to Brando being miscast, and the direction being flat... The Music Man is equally enjoyable to watch live, but it is a far superior movie

[@johna.4334]

Agreed!

[@partybusexperiance3289]

I was one of the 3 guys who kidnapped Brando. He did not shit his pants as a result. He had already shit them before we got there. We did tell him we were gonna either cut off his balls or kill him. He said "Please don't kill me." So we did off his balls. He left that part out when he told Carlo about what happened. We never could understand how he kept having kids. Anyway, this is why he eventually never learned his lines or cared about shit because we cut off the head that did the thinking.

The only actors that were willing to stand up to Frank, were Dean Martin, and the British actor Peter Vaughn ( with Frank in the film Naked Runner) Peter Vaughn best known today as the blind mystic in the Game Of Throwns.

Frankie was a poor Jersey boy, made good. All of those influences were all around him, both growing up and in stardom, especially in Vegas. I know all too well how that works. I grew up in similar circumstances across the river in NY. Some dabble, others go while hog. Who's to really say?

[@syourke3]

@@theresasmith8972 Did you watch the documentary? Sinatra was involved with the Mob from the very start. His mother was friendly with mobsters in Hoboken they got him an audition with Lucky Luciano - the most important mobster of all time, the guy who actually established the Commission and organized crime. He performed for Luciano and made a good impression and so the Mob put him in their clubs. That was his start. He owed them big time. Then, a few years later, when he had become a star singing with Tommy Dorsey and his orchestra, the Mob helped “persuade” Dorsey to let Sinatra out of his contract when Dorsey had refused to let him go, They showed him a gun and suggested that he sign a release. A few years later, when Sinatra’s career was in big trouble, the Mob “persuaded” Harry Cohn to put Frank in his movie called From Here to Eternity, Cohn didn’t want Frank in the picture but the Mob made it clear to him that he wouldn’t be able to make the picture at all without Frank in the movie. That’s how he got the part and win an Academy Award for best supporting actor. In exchange, Sinatra performed various services for the Mob. He carried a million floors in a suitcase to Havana to give to Luciano with whom he remained friends. He would perform whenever the Mob wanted him to. He helped the Mob get Kennedy elected president in 1960. Sinatra idolized the big time mobsters, and they patronized him.

[@theresasmith8972]

@@syourke3 No I didn't. I grew up in the 50s and 60s in NY, where his influence was all around me. My stepfather was Italian. I know what it's like to grow up in those environments with truckers, grocers, unions,..and, entertainers. Two blocks from me I saw Hoffa being kept in a jail pacing back and forth. I could see it from my tenement window. After leaving home, the lower East Side, Jersey and Miami also influenced my growing up. Places where Sinatra had been for either business or pleasure. It all plays in. He got his heart broke by Kennedy and it soured him greatly. Who knows what that did. In any case, yeah, I'm disappointed, but realistically speaking, he wouldn't have been the first. We idolize stars. The real person is another whole ball of wax.

[@thehair1474]

Bottom line: Brando sucked out loud in the film. Sinatra was terrific.

[@marietta1335]

Brando was the near-perfect Sky Masterson there ever was. First off, the age. The author Damon Runyon placed his creation Sky Masterson at 30 years of age, to pair off with lady love Sarah Brown, aged 26 (played by Jean Simmons who was 26 at that time.) Brando was 31; Sinatra was 40; Gene Kelly was 43. The other contenders for the role, were Astaire and Crosby, who, let's just say, were below 100. Also, if either Sinatra or Kelly had been Sky Masterson, either would have sung and danced flawlessly, but no surprise there. With Brando, there was so much breath-holding expectation on whether he could do the role and the Samuel Goldwyn publicity people took advantage of such expectations and milked it. As movie historian Molly Haskell writes in Village Voice: "Brando made an unexpectedly charming Sky Mas­terson in 'Guys and Dolls.' There was much excitement over the announcement that Brando would sing his own songs. If the voice that emerged was not quite the Met tenor promised by Sam Goldwyn, it was quite endearingly Brando’s own - high-pitched, unmellifluous, and enchanting. He had more trouble with the shooting-from-the-hip di­alogue of the Damon Runyon character, to which Mankiewicz had inexplicably added additional dialogue. "But if Brando was not quite the glib Lindy’s night-owl born (and if he was the antithesis of the addictive gambler type), he brought something else to the role: a kind of sweet, heavy comic seriousness (particularly in his scenes with Jean Simmons as the Salvation Army muse) and a selflessness that make it a favor­ite among many (largely, I think, among those who are not regular Brando admirers)." I agree with Haskell. Count me among those "who are not regular Brando admirers."

I had no idea, not even a clue that the feud existed between Marlon and Frank. I do know this about Sinatra - he was a piece of work. Ava Gardner was the love of his life, and he was hers. But astrologically speaking, the only thing that goes well in love relationships with the 2 signs, is sex. Passionate, long lasting, multiple times a day, jungle sex - sometimes even violent. Interestingly enough, they die without each other, but it's practically impossible for them to live together unless there is a high degree of emotional maturity. If you haven't read it, look for Ava Gardner's authorized biography. It's a great read, and in it, she spends a great portion retelling her relationship with Frank. By the way, a great uncle of mine was a Maitre d' at a famous cabaret in Cuba, The Montmartre, he had an autographed photo of Frank and Ava from when they honeymooned in Havana. They stayed at Hotel Nacional which is a short walk from where the Montmartre is, was.

Later, Frank apologized to Desi and they became good friends. As for Marlon and method acting....most Hollywood A-listers back in those days couldn't stand method acting. Many considered it non-acting and it did require a lot more time to get through a scene and nail it down.

@@jamesanthony5681 I'm not sure you understand what method acting is. It isn't dependent upon "definition". It's a distinct style of performance that involves going to the extreme or absurd, even unhealthy lengths, in order to evoke some character state. An example would be going without sleep for 4 or 5 nights because your character is suppose to be "exhausted". In Hollywood, it was considered the hallmark of childish, over-indulgent artistes of which Marlon Brando was the poster child. By far, Ford wasn't the only actor who disdained this type of so-called "acting" that was evolved from Stanislavsky (a Russian); in fact, one who is considered by many as probably the best actor of all, Laurence Olivier, was not a proponent of method and didn't like it, either. If Olivier didn't like it, I'm sure Shakespeare would have disapproved of it, as well!

[@jamesanthony5681]

@@gabrielhalston6726 I know what it is and I hear what your saying, but method acting as practiced and applied by say, Paul Newman or Cloris Leachman (both students at the Acting Studio) is probably different from that of Brando, perhaps. Newman was a smart guy who probably got into his character using some of the techniques as taught to him, but I'm sure even he would have thought going 4, 5 nights without sleep is ridiculous, IMO. That's not the 'method' that works for him. I don't think Ford would have had any trouble with Newman or Leachman. Yes, some actors went to extreme lengths as you said, and there is that famous exchange that Olivier had with Dustin Hoffman during the filming of Marathon Man.

[@waheedkhan4040]

You missed a step there. Frank was belittling Brando's slur. So, during Frank's absence on the set, Brando invited Ava Gardner (Frank's gf at the time) into his trailer, seduced her, made her walk out bowlegged. Frank found out and set his Mafia goons after Brando. They gave him an offer he couldn't refuse!! Brando was a sex addict. Frank should have chosen his enemies carefully. Another embarrassing incident was on the set of GI Blues. Juliet Prowse (Frank's gf at the time) did most of her "dancing" in Elvis Presley's trailer. Elvis had his buddies (the Memphis Mafia) patrolling outside in case Frank showed up. Poor Frankie!!

[@jamesanthony5681]

Don't believe that 'poop in the pants' bit. IF - and I say IF - that kidnapping story was true and Sinatra was behind it, his goons probably told Frank that they had Marlon shittin' his pants, i.e., truly scared. Who wouldn't be? Which doesn't mean he literally shit his pants.

I think Brando was a bigger jerk - just less violent and didn't come up in the same night club scene like Frank. At least Franks friends and family liked him for the most part, look at Brando's life.

[@bobgarrett3367]

This is NOT true. Nathan Detroit , the role Sinatra played, is the lead. To prove this, Nathan Lane played Nathan Detroit on Broadway and won Best Actor in a musical. Same with Sam Levene who originated the role on Broadway. Frank was ill informed if he believed SKY MASTERSON wa the lead.

Do check out "Guys and Dolls" where both actors were terrific. It's free with ads on KZbin. Sinatra shows to be a sport in his character as Nathan Detroit, without a tinge of a grudge against Brando's Sky Masterson, the lead character. You'd think they were the best of friends. Sinatra even shows self-deprecating humor by stepping on a barbershop scale that shows he weighs a mere 125 lbs. (Perhaps the same weight as Jean Simmons whose character, a drunken Sarah Brown, has to be hauled off by the Brando character from a bar fight. Something which I doubt Sinatra could do.) It's a fantastic movie. Highly recommended.

Brando did some very good acting in 'The Night of the Following Day' which came out in '68 or '69. The movie didn't do huge box office $, but Brando was compelling to watch. This was before he got fat.

I doubt very much that Cary Grant wanted Marlon Brando to play the Sky Masterson role to piss off Frank Sinatra. Cary and Frank were extremely close friends for decades and Cary would never have crossed Frank. IMO, the great Frank Loesser's Guys and Dolls would have made a much finer and more memorable picture if MGM would have had the sense to cast Frank as Sky Masterson and Gene Kelly as Nathan Detroit. The female leads of Jean Simmons and Vivian Blaine were already perfect. But Frank, Jean, Gene, and Vivian together would have been movie magic.

[@michaeljohnangel6359]

@Salini Teri Apodaca I think Brando was extremely wooden in his performance. He did almost nothing except stand there and recite his lines-when he was moving, he was even worse.

[@kennethwayne6857]

Gene Kelly's role would have been Sky, and according to what I've read he came very close to getting it. Kelly campaigned hard for the role and it was a longtime regret of his that he never did it. Apparently MGM refused to loan him out and then to add insult to injury they distributed the film. In my opinion he would have been much better in the role than Brando. Frank would also have been a better choice.
