Guys and Dolls felt like reassembling my childhood in Technicolor. I somehow forgot Frank Sinatra and Marlon Brando were in this together, and learning that they spent most of filming winding each other up honestly made this rewatch more fun. One scene I will never, ever forget though, is Jean Simmons smacking bitches up left and right. That bar fight was ten minutes of my life well spent. In fact, give me another ten! Brando, however, committed crimes against “Luck Be a Lady." At least I'm giving Sinatra a pass on his poor dancing, on account of his infamous two left feat. A+ for effort.

“Omg it’s just like princess and the pauper.” -Pidge to the double wedding. I really wanted to love this movie but Detroit was such a manchild and it dragged on for a very long time. Also Sister Sarah the diva that you are <3. An extra star for the bar fight.
