Well, I love old musicals and this has to be one of my favorites. It's the typical plot: bad boy turned good by good girl and marriage is the end result. Still, the film is so typical of this 1950s image that exists and some dialogue speaks to the gender standards of the period. Frank Sinatra is of course always good in anything he does. Marlon Brando, more famous for his roles in On the Waterfront and Godfather, also provides a surprisingly good performance. He took singing and dancing lessons and it paid off. While it was during this film that Sinatra and Brando began their hate relationship, there seems to be no tension in the film. Perfect for a carefree afternoon!

I don't watch movies more then once. Ever... Well except for this and Charade... Music is excellent, the atmosphere carefree, the characters are fun, the plot quaint... A must see if you want to smile... I remember reading somewhere that the song "Luck be a Lady" was written FOR Sinatra and that was a big part of the rift between them later. (Sinatra certainly sings it in other venues...) But you would never know it when watching this movie. Just pure light...

Excellent film, even if you don't like musicals. Brando and Sinatra are perfect, the play on words is fascinating and incredible.

This is one of best musicals that I have seen and really makes you think instead of just being something you have to sit through (like a lot of musicals). Multiple funny parts make the movie.

What a great musical! I didn't even remember all the songs that were in this one. We rented it to show the kids the style of Musicals - they were a little bored by it, but we loved it.

Other than slightly glorifing a life of crime, this is a fun, sweet movie about love and honor.
