The highlight of this movie - Guys & Dolls - was the hit number 'Woman in love' which was sung by Marlon Brando in his own voice. Commercially, the song was a chart-buster in circa 1956-57 sung by Frankie Laine and broke all records. Oh yes, it's fun to see both Marlon and Jean Simmons [ a personal fave] dance up a storm in this film..

First it wasn’t the 60s. It’s based on a great Broadway musical that premiered 1948. The lead was played by Robert Alda (father of Mash’s Allen Alda.) Two of the original cast reprised their stand-out roles in the movie - Stubby Kaye and Vivian Blaine. It was based on NYC stereotype characters created by famous writer Damon Runyon.

Frank Sinatra wanted to do the Sky Masterson part but the producers chose the hot property Marlon Brando . Sinatra had hard feelings towards Brando but did the Nathan Detroit part . The leading lady Jean Simmons was not a singer but she was pretty potent in the 1950s box office . Miss Simmons along with Elizabeth Taylor were considered for the Audrey Hepburn part in Roman Holiday . Vivian Blaine who had done movies mainly in the 1940s was recreating her Broadway role . Stubby Kaye , B S Pully and Johnny Silver were also hold overs in their original Broadway roles .

G & D was the last show that I did in community theatre umpteen years ago; I was a mission lady. We had had occasional sound issues in the auditorium we were using but nothing too bad. Then one night, Nicely-Nicely started Sit Down and the track just wouldn't play. 😬 There was a momentary pause, then our actor, who really was excellent, just picked the song up and ran with it like he was going for a 100 yard touchdown and we all stayed right with him! An a capella version of Sit Down You're Rockin' the Boat!! 😃 The audience applauded long and hard. We amazed ourselves because we all stayed together and didn’t drag or rush the song. It was awesome! 😄

I went with my Mom to see a live "road" production of this starring Lorna Luft at the Fair Park Music Hall in Dallas back in the mid 90's(?). I think it was during intermission my Mom made the comment to the effect that Lorna Luft in the role of Sister Sarah was not NEARLY as impressive as she was hoping it would be but that she thought the Miss Adelaide performance was MUCH MUCH more entertaing and enjoyable. I chuckled a bit and then revealed to her that the Miss Adelaide performance she had been enjoying so much up to that point WAS Judy Garland's "other Daughter". I have always had a similar reaction to the movie version. I've always felt like Vivian Blaine's Miss Adelaide is what makes this version of Guys and Dolls so incredibly enjoyable. This movie and the Fair Park Lorna Luft performance are the only performances of this particular masterpiece of American musical theater I've ever seen so I don't know for certain but from my experience of it I'm guessing maybe Miss Adelaide has been written and ALWAYS performed to "steal the show". Other than the incredibly gorgeous vision of a young Marlon Brando in his absolute prime it's always been Vivian Blaine's and a VERY young Frank Sinatra's performances that have been the reason I keep coming back to watch this movie over and over again.

Ditto! MGM and Mankiewicz brought to the screen a Broadway classic that most of us would otherwise not get to see. THE GENERATION GAP. Despite the mostly favorable response here, naysayers alledge miscasting mostly, ignoring the splendid score, the smart dialogue, Vivian Blaine's Adelaide (!), Michael Kidd's cinematography or the MGM production values of a once popular vanishing genre. One of Sinatra's less involved performances, but Brando and Simmons in their early confrontation convey the chemistry between their characters, as they had in 'Desirée' a year or so earlier. Sheldon Leonard, tv legend, is featured early on with Stubby Kaye.
