An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Style A Half-Sheet Movie Poster (1/2sh; measures 22" x 28" [56 x 71 cm]) (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)! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this poster has cool full-color images of the four top stars, and Brando is holding a pair of dice, and is just about to bet all the gamblers $1,000 each "against their souls"! Also note that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Since most of the items in this special Frank Sinatra auction are folded, we CAN re-fold this poster so that it can be sent with folded ones (but if you purchase rolled posters from our other auctions and want this poster combined with those, that is fine too). Just let us know what you want to do after you find out if you win this poster! Condition: good. There are scuff marks and some creases throughout the poster with a vertical crease in Brando's image at upper left and a small area of scuffing that has been crudely touched up in Sinatra's chin at center. There is a small area of paper loss in the upper right edge and there are several 1" and smaller tears around the edges of the poster (most repaired with tape from the back).
