Guys and Dolls (1955)

Director: Joseph L. Mankiewicz

A sheer joy to watch; a gorgeous musical that manages to be both genuinely funny and genuinely touching, with a magnetic performance from Marlon Brando brilliantly complemented by Jean Simmons, Frank Sinatra, Vivian Blaine and... well, the whole cast. Full of energy, blessed with a constantly engaging adapted screenplay from Mankiewicz, and with memorable songs, mindblowing choreography and marvellous sets to boot.
