Guys And Dolls (1955) It’s the scene that drives school-play set designers to drink, Nathan Detroit’s craps game in the New York sewers. Joseph L. Mankiewicz’s love letter to his home town boasted grand Big Apple sets and eye-catching casting in the shape of a hitherto non-singing Marlon Brando. The star took some persuading when Mankiewicz cabled to offer him the part. "Very nervous," Brando fired back. "Have never done a musical before." Mankiewicz quickly replied: "Don’t worry about it. Neither have I."
