Guys and Dolls is a 1955 American musical film starring Marlon Brando, Jean Simmons, Frank Sinatra, and Vivian Blaine.
The picture was made by Samuel Goldwyn Productions and distributed by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM).
It was directed by Joseph L.
Mankiewicz, who also wrote the screenplay.
The film is based on the 1950 Broadway musical by composer and lyricist Frank Loesser, with a book by Jo Swerling and Abe Burrows, which, in turn, was loosely based on "The Idyll of Miss Sarah Brown" (1933) and "Blood Pressure", two short stories by Damon Runyon.[1] Dances were choreographed by Michael Kidd, who had staged the dances for the Broadway production.
