Guys and Dolls (3-Nov-1955)

Nathan Detroit runs the "Oldest Established Permanent Floating Crap Game in New York", but needs a quick $1000 to situate it at the Biltmore Garage. He bets Sky Masterson that he can take Sarah Brown, no-nonsense Salvation Army missionary, on a date to Havana. It is a bit daft to cast Marlon Brando in a lead singing role; despite this, an excellent Broadway adaptation.
