Most helpful review Guys And Dolls

  • ONE OF THE GREATS

    Rated - 5.0 stars  
    By JIM WOOD from CHESHIRE /ENGLAND , 06 Jan 2005

    [Highly rated reviewer]

    I highly rate this musical . It was a joy to watch.The opening scene with dancing is a little long but then be prepared for a treat.All the favourites dear old Stubby Kaye as Nicely Nicely made us laugh.Even Brando was credible with his singing . As far as I am concerned anything with Sinatra is pleasurable and this is no exception.We were very impressed by the transfer to DVD. The colour is excellent without the saturation that tends to plague some musicals.There are lots of laughs in it with mannerisms etc of the supporting cast . Please watch it more than once.It's a great film for a wet afternoon with a big packet of popcorn and your arm round the girl you love.

  • THE MOTHER OF THEM ALL

    Rated - 4.5 stars  
    By Burnhamite (379 reviews) from BURNHAM , 12 May 2013
    A collection of Runyon characters brought to life by a plethora of stars led by Brando, Sinatra, Jean Simmons which will last forever in the annals of musicals. THEY DON'T MAKE THEM LIKE THIS ANYMORE.

  • The Dolls and the Guys

    Rated - 3.5 stars  
    By Hazeylady (4 reviews) , 28 Oct 2011
    Not having seen this film for many years I really enjoyed it. The story and charecters all came back to me and the music wasnt as dated as I thought it might be.Highly reccomend this film for a lighthearted nostalgic time.

  • Guys and Dolls

    Rated - 4.5 stars  
    By a customer from Newport Pagnell , 12 Aug 2010
    After not having seen this film for many years I thoroughly enjoyed it. Interestingly cast with Marlon Brando in a singing role but I think he carries the songs off nicely. Sometimes it's nice to have an honest 'normal' voice in a lead singing role and makes you see the actor in a different light. A good story, with some interesting and somewhat unsavoury but likeable characters and some great songs. Thoroughly enjoyable.

  • Song and Dance and Talk

    Rated - 4.0 stars  
    By Cato (703 reviews) from Lydbury North , 03 Jul 2010
    A long film but I must admit the time flew by, apart from some of the singing, which apparently Frank Sinatra insisted on including. Marlon Brando was a revelation, and completely scotched the rumour that he was just a mumbler. And not a bad singing voice either. Great acting from him and Jean Simmons, especially in Havana. Excellent dancing and I particularly liked the Runyonesque/Shakespearian speech delivery from the gangsters.

  • Mildly Entertaining

    Rated - 3.0 stars

    THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS Show review anywayHide

    It started off well, the melodic tones of Frank Sinatra's voice is always reassuring, followed by some jazzy and colourful numbers. Can't say I was convinced by Marlon Brando's effort particularly the Luck be a Lady number- Should have left it to the professionals mate!!!! A jolly film for a few hours of a good old fashioned musical.
