October 11, 2009take two of my favorite actors of all time, leave one (sinatra) in his element, and challenge the other more talented actor (brando) to step out of his a bit, and you get a genuine musical masterpiece. the film is nearly perfect, great dialogue, mostly great music, and a perfect...( read more)

Its films like this really make me hate musicals. The songs are marvelous as are the dance routines. But if I w...( read more)

June 12, 2009maybe the most "Broadway-feeling" movie I've ever seen. a very entertaining story with fun songs and some very enjoyable performances (especially from a singing Brando). the characters weren't entirely special, and the writing really got on my nerves sometimes--would it kill th...( read more)

December 16, 2008it's dreadfully painful to see marlon brando wearing suits, falsely tying to be romantic and...do the singings...AH.

July 14, 2008A joyful tale about New York street gamblers who have a run-in with the Salvation Army. The songs are terrific.
