Guys and Dolls

They divorced in 1962 and had a daughter together.

In 1955, the Guys and Dolls film premiered in New York City.

Samuel Goldwyn's big screen adaptation of the hit Broadway musical celebrated its premiere at the Capitol Theater.

It featured a star-studded cast that included Marlon Brando as Skye Masterson and Frank Sinatra as Nathan Detroit.

And so they were very, they, but they didn't play any instruments, but they did always put us to sleep with records.

So I remember going to sleep to Montevani and musicals like Guys and Dolls and Music Man and Oklahoma.

And so that was kind of the bedtime routine.

My brothers both played, we all played in the bands, you know, like played the flute in the junior high school band or like started playing as a kid, the flute.

I'll go from like listening to like Rico Nasty, right? And being like...

oh, yeah, I'm going to take inspiration from that line or, like, whatever, to then listening to, like, the Guys and Dolls soundtrack and then thinking...

Like, I literally...

I was listening to...

Have you seen Guys and Dolls?

I haven't.

You need to watch it.

...

Guys and Dolls.

It's Guys and Dolls, yeah.

[laughs]

Yeah, sorry.

Do you know how many fucking shows I've done?

You know how many painkillers you've had in your life?

I was on tour with, I was on tour with Guys and Dolls.

So that was the 1929 play.

It's edited by Daniel Mandel, who also did The Apartment, Arsenic and Old Lace, Guys and Dolls, Witness for the Prosecution, and Porgy and Bess, to name a few.

The music is by Andre Previn, who, nerd alert, was born in Berlin in 1929.

He also did the music for My Fair Lady, Bad Day at Black Rock, Elmer Gantry, Long Day's Journey Into Night, and Nerd Alert.

That's the song I sang from Oklahoma when I played Will Parker to Doug Jabara's, um, not Sky Masterson.

That was when he did Guys and Dolls.

Wow, who's the lead g- um, who was the lead in Oklahoma? There's Imran.

Oh, Imran's here.

He was a scriptwriter.

He wrote The Lemon Drop Kid, Little Miss Marker, Guys and Dolls.

Oh, yeah.

He wrote

Guys and Dolls.

Buster Keaton was born on October 4th in 1895.

A funny thing happened on the way to the forum.

Well, I just think like if you wanna talk about the classiest of cla- Marlon Brando, uh, uh, potentially some people say the greatest living actor of all time, and Frank Sinatra- Beef.

They did Guys and Dolls together, and apparently the beef started when Marlon Brando got the part in On the Waterfront that Frank Sinatra thought was his.

So now they go do this musical, and Marlon Brando can't sing, but Frank Sinatra, obviously, is one of the greats.

And Marlon Brando gets the role of the heartthrob in Guys and Dolls, and then Frank Sinatra gets a completely different role.

And I mean, one story has it that Frank Sinatra hates cheesecake, right? And Marlon Brando intentionally sabotaged 20 takes so Sinatra, who was eating cheesecake in a scene, had to keep eating it over and over to the point where they had to shut down production 'cause he got sick from eating the cheesecake.

By the way, I believe it.

villain in a movie, you know?

And he was a cop in Guys and Dolls.

Oh, wow.

Yeah.
