Guys And Dolls

Singer Sinatra is back, playing a lovable sharpie Out to save souls, Jean Simmons wins hearts, too

Have a double helping of romance. Love story No. 1 in the Goldwyn-M-G-M version of the smash Broadway musical begins as gambler Marlon Brando hears Jean’s street sermon

Love story No. 2 teams Frankie with Vivian Blaine, from the original stage cast. She’s the doll in the mink stole ’way up on the right, doing the hilarious “Take Back Your Mink”

On a fling in Cuba, Marlon finds his mission doll isn’t so prim after all. Jean snares him; Vivian gets her man (after a fourteen-year engagement!) in a Times Square wedding

Eighteen musical numbers keep the rhythm going. When you hear Marlon begging, “Luck, Be a Lady Tonight;” that’s the real Brando baritone. Jean also makes her own song debut
