An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 28" x 42") (Learn More) Guys and Dolls, the 1955 Joseph L. Mankiewicz New York City romantic gambling Broadway dance musical ("It's a living breathing doll of a musical!"; "Samuel Goldwyn presents America's Own Musical!"; based on the play by Abe Burrows & Jo Swerling; about a professional gambler who bets an operator of an illegal craps game that he can take a beautiful Salvation Army worker to Cuba with him for dinner!) starring Marlon Brando (as Sky Masterson), Jean Simmons (as Sister Sarah Brown), Frank Sinatra (as Nathan Detroit), Vivian Blaine (as Miss Adelaide), Robert Keith (as Lt. Brannigan), Stubby Kaye (as Nicely-Nicely Johnson), B.S. Pully (as Big Jule), Johnny Silver (as Benny Southstreet), Sheldon Leonard (as Harry the Horse), The Goldwyn Girls, and Larri Thomas (as the sexy Cuban dancer who flirts with Brando in Cuba, and gets in a fight with Simmons!). Note that Sam Levene was the original Nathan Detroit in the first stage version of "Guys and Dolls", but he was replaced for the movie by Frank Sinatra, because producer Sam Goldwyn did not consider Levene a big enough name, and Goldwyn also refused to let Sinatra play Sky Masterson, who would have been wonderful, and instead Goldwyn cast Marlon Brando (which led to much friction between Brando and Sinatra)!

Important Added Info: Note that this one-sheet measures 28" x 42" and does not appear to be trimmed. We have, in the past, sold an example of this poster that measured 28 1/2" x 42". It is possible that this poster has been very neatly trimmed. Please do not bid unless you can accept this uncertainty. Condition: good to very good. There are creases throughout the poster from it being roughly handled at one time and there are a few small tears around the edges. Learn More about condition grades
