i love this movie . my only disappointment be that some of the original song be change . it true that frank sinatra do not get a chance to sing as much in this movie but it also nice that it not just another frank sinatra movie where it mostly him do the singing . i actually think it be well to use marlon brando own voice a he have the voice that fit and i could not see someone with this great voice pull off the gangster feel of his voice . stubby kaye sit down and youre rockin the boat be a foot tappin and sing a long that i just love . he be a hard act to follow with his version and i still like his the best . vivian blaine be just excellent in this part and adelaide lament be my favorite of her song . i really thought jean simmons be perfect for this part . maybe i would not have first consider her but after see her in the part and it make sense . michael kidd choreography be timeless . if it be be re stag in the year 2008 and i would not change a thing . i find that many time something be lose from the stage version to the movie version but this keep the feel of the stage and even though it be on film . i think the movie be well cast . i perform in regional version of this and it one of my favorite of that period .
