Guys and Dolls is a 1955 musical film based on the Broadway musical of the same name by Frank Loesser. The film stars Marlon Brando as Sky Masterson, Jean Simmons as Sarah Brown, Frank Sinatra as Nathan Detroit, and Vivian Blaine as Adelaide.
The story takes place in New York City and centers around a group of gamblers who regularly hold craps games. Nathan Detroit, the mastermind behind the games, is constantly trying to find new locations to hold them as the police are on his tail. When he hears of a garage owner who is willing to rent out his space for $1,000, Nathan jumps at the opportunity. However, he is short on cash and needs to find a way to raise the money quickly.
Enter Sky Masterson, a smooth-talking gambler who never turns down a bet. Nathan bets Sky that he cannot take Sarah Brown, a religious missionary who runs the Save-a-Soul Mission, on a date to Havana, Cuba. Sky sees this as an opportunity to win some money and accepts the bet. However, Sarah is hard to convince and only agrees to go on the date if Sky brings in sinners to her mission.
As Sky sets out to complete his end of the bet, Nathan's fiancée, Adelaide, becomes increasingly frustrated with their long engagement and demands that Nathan finally marry her. But Nathan is too preoccupied with his craps game and making money to fully commit to Adelaide.
As the story unfolds, we see the characters deal with issues of love, commitment, and morality. With catchy songs like "Luck Be a Lady" and "Adelaide's Lament," Guys and Dolls is a classic musical that has entertained audiences for decades.
