my favourite part is imagining what sinatra was thinking when brando was singing luck be a lady
Marlon Brando can’t sing, but who cares! The set design! The COLORS! Jean Simmons getting into 30-person brawls in Cuba! What a film!!
Sinatra can't dance, Brando can't sing, I couldn't give less of a shit! Spectacular.
"Awesome! Guys and Dolls! I can't wait to hear Sinatra sing 'Luck be a Lady.'"
"Actually, in the movie, Marlon Brando sings it."
"Marlon Brando? Was he even a singer?"
"No. No, he was not."
I would bump this up at least a full star if it was like an hour shorter oh my god why is this the same runtime as There Will Be Blood
The fact that Gene Kelly could have been Sky Masterson and wasn't is the greatest failure in cinema ever
The only musical where a hot Salvation Army lady socks people in the face while blackout drunk
Whoever decided Brando should sing Luck Be a Lady turn on your location I just wanna talk.
spent more time reading about frank sinatra and marlon brando’s crazy ass beef than watching the movie. copied this from imdb for your viewing pleasure:
“After filming repeated takes of the scene where Sky (Marlon Brando) and Nathan (Frank Sinatra) first meet, they had to quit for the day when Sinatra had eaten too much cheesecake. He said he could not take one more bite. Brando, knowing how much Sinatra hated cheesecake, had purposely flubbed each take so that Sinatra would have to eat piece after piece of cheesecake.”
