Summary
Musical comedy based on Damon Runyon's short stories, starring Marlon Brando, Jean Simmons and Frank Sinatra. Hustler Nathan Detroit searches for a new location for his dice game while being pursued by the police. When he finds a suitable garage, he makes a $1,000 bet with slick gambler Sky Masterson to raise the necessary finance. However, that means Sky must persuade a pious young missionary to go to Havana to have dinner, or else he loses the wager.

Review
A star rating of 4 out of 5.
Tony Sloman
When producer Sam Goldwyn set about filming this great Broadway musical, he went after the best dancer he could find, his ideal Sky Masterson, Gene Kelly. Louis B Mayer wouldn't release Kelly to his rival, however, so Goldwyn went for the best actor in the movies instead. That's how Marlon Brando became the definitive Masterson, singing the Frank Loesser songs himself, cleverly choreographed by Michael Kidd, whose depiction of Broadway is one of the film's highlights. With Jean Simmons waking up to love with If I Were a Bell, and Frank Sinatra and Vivian Blaine as Nathan Detroit and his ever-lovin' Adelaide, what more could you want?
