“Along with South Pacific, Guys and Dolls is for grown-ups – – it is sassy, sexy, and full of men being men and women being strung along.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThere is an energy and drive that makes this stand out from the pack – the strength of Jean Simmondu0026#39;s performance, and the charm of a young Brando, and an already masterful Sinatra add much to the overall feel and look of the piece.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eGuys and Dolls wins as it is unashamedly what it is: an MGM musical.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eStill good to look at and listen too with great tunes and dance numbers – it will remain one of the classics of 20th Century cinema and be watched with pleasure for years to come.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWarmly recommended.”
