nathan detroit run illegal crap game for high roller in nyc and but the heat be on and he can not find a secure location . he bet chronic gambler sky masterson that sky can not make a prim missionary and sarah brown and go out to dinner with him . sky take up the challenge and but both men have some surprise in store this be one of those expensive fifty mgm musical in splashy colour and with big set and loud music and large than life role and performance to match while broadway photograph for the big screen if you like that sort of thing and which i do not . my main problem with these type of movie be simply the music . i like all kind of music and from albinoni to zz top and but broadway show tune in swing time with never end pah pah tah dah trumpet flourish at the end of every fourth bar aren not my cup of tea . this be write by the tag team of frank loesser and mankiewicz and jo swerling and abe burrow ( base on a couple of damon runyon story ) and and while the plot be quite affable the song be weak . blaine two number for example be identical and unnecessary and do not advance the plot and grate on the ear ( and be also flagrantly misogynistic if that sort of thing bother you ) . there be only two memorable tune and luck be a lady ( sing by brando and not sinatra a you might expect ) and sit down and youre rockin the boat ( nicely perform by kaye ) but you have to sit through two hour to get to them . the movie trump card be a young brando give a thoughtful and laid back performance while he also sing quite well and even dance a little and and be evenly match with the always interesting simmons . the sequence where the two of them escape to havana for the night be a welcome respite from all the noise and bustle and vowel murdering of noo yawk . fan of musical may dig this and but in my view a musical have to do something more than just film the stage show .
