On this day in 1955, M-G-M premiered GUYS AND DOLLS. Directed by JOSEPH L. MANKIEWICZ and based on the smash Broadway musical of the same name, this daffy tale of saints and sinners in the criminal underworld is a perennial crowd pleaser. Great performances by FRANK SINATRA, MARLON BRANDO, JEAN SIMMONS and VIVIAN BLAINE (not to mention some of the greatest ‘character actors’ in the biz). Just a great flick.
