The film is reissued with a collectible booklet by Life Magazine and CD. Brando's bold musical debut based on the Damon Runyon comedy about gamblers and a Salvation Army lass is adapted for the screen by director Joseph L. Mankiewicz. The colorful Cinemascope film posits Sky Masterson [Marlon Brando] betting Nathan Detroit (Frank Sinatra) that he can win the heart of a lady "soldier" (Jean Simmons). The movie features popular Frank Loesser tunes such as "Luck Be a Lady," and many of the original Broadway performers reprise their roles. Based on the Broadway show from the Damon Runyon short story and filled to the brim with Frank Loesser tunes such as "Luck Be a Lady" and "Sit Down, You're Rocking the Boat," this outrageously comic film featuring Marlon Brando's bold musical debut is a colorful tale about gamblers, a feisty Salvation Army lass, and a dance-hall girl with a pining heart. Veteran gambler Sky Masterson (Brando) takes a bet from Nathan Detroit (Frank Sinatra) that he can win the affection of a "soldier" (Jean Simmons) in the Salvation Army, setting himself up to lose both his money and his heart. Romance is the last thing the gambler and the missionary expect, and they fight against their attraction for all they're worth in glowing singing and dancing numbers. Love proves to be contagious as spicy dancer Miss Adelaide, in a role re-created for the screen from Broadway by showstopper Vivian Blaine, is determined to get her fiancé, Nathan, to the altar one way or another. Stubby Kaye and B.S. Pully also reprise their stage roles in this glorious Cinemascope film that earned four Academy Award nominations. GUYS AND DOLLS consistently ranks among the most popular film musicals of all time.
Many of the stars from the Broadway musical reprised their roles in the film version of GUYS AND DOLLS.

| | Pink I'm Not Dead CD (2006) DualDisc
Guys And Dolls video
 $17.49 
This is a DualDisc, which contains a CD on one side of the disc and a DVD on the other.
Pink deserves a lot of credit for overturning everyone's expectations. After emerging in 2000 with a debut full of club-ready, R&B-influenced dance-pop, she moved on to genre-hopping hybrids (MISSUNDAZTOOD) and punk-inflected rock (TRY THIS). 2006's I'M NOT DEAD resumes Pink's game of stylistic hopscotch, as she skitters skillfully from arena rock to hip-hop-influenced jams to thoughtful folk to well-crafted pop.
Remarkably, these genre experiments work well together, and stand as a testament to Pink's unwillingness to fit into any music industry mold. Whether collaborating with the Indigo Girls on the acoustic protest song "Dear Mr. President," showing off her irresistible swagger on the electro-groove-driven "'Cuz I Can," or generating soaring pop-rock on "Runaway," I'M NOT DEAD gives listeners plenty to chew on, and the results are as tasty as they are surprising.
This dualdisc is a stunning display of her craft as a vocalist and songwriter, and a very personal scrapbook of everywhere she's been and everywhere she's going. The CD side includes the complete album plus a hidden track featuring her dad, James T. Moore. The DVD side includes a promo clip, making-of footage, one-minute teaser for her upcoming DVD, Live in Europe, and a 7 minute interview. This title carries a parental advisory.
Personnel: Pink (vocals); Emily Saliers (vocals, guitar); Amy Ray, Butch Walker (vocals); Billy Mann (guitar, drum programming); Robin Lynch, Dan Warner (guitar); Niklas Olsson (bass guitar); Joey Waronker, Lee Levin (drums); Lukasz "Doctor Luke" Gottwald (drum programming).
| | Boomerang! DVD (1947) Full Frame; Subtitled
Guys And Dolls film
$10.25
Hailing from early on in the career of director Elia Kazan, BOOMERANG! tells the noirish tale of an innocent man brow-beaten into confessing to the murder of a minister. Dana Andrews stars as the D.A. who decides to dig deeper into what seems like an open-and-shut case. Arthur Miller fans should look for a cameo by the playwright in the suspect line-up. Based on an article by Anthony Abbott in Reader's Digest, this brilliant true crime drama represents one of Hollywood's first forays into the gritty Italian neo-realist style of filmmaking.

| | Mayor Of Hell DVD (2008)
Guys And Dolls video
$15.05
Jimmy Cagney stars in this surprisingly progressive story of a teenage gang sent to reform school. There, the kids butt heads with their cruel warden, Thompson, and suffer at the hands of the corrupt institution. But when a mob figure, played by Cagney, is appointed Deputy Commissioner, he helps turn the system upside down. Now the kids are running things, and Thompson will have to pay! A unique film for the time, MAYOR OF HELL was heavily influenced by New Deal-era rhetoric.
Five members of a teen-age gang, including leader Jimmy Smith, are sent to the State Reformatory, presided over by the melodramatically callous Thompson. Soon, Patsy Gargan, a former gangster appointed Deputy Commissioner as a political favor, arrives complete with hip flask and blonde. Gargan falls for activist-nurse Dorothy and, inspired by her, takes over the administration to run the place on radical principles. But Thompson, to conceal his years of graft, needs a quick way to discredit Gargan.

Guys And Dolls movie DVD
$22.45
This Iranian drama follows one woman's bold attempt to retrieve custody of her young son. Sharazad loses her son in a court battle with her uncaring ex-husband, who is an influential businessman. Sharazad learns that her ex is shameful neglecting their diabetic son, and will stop at nothing to come to his aid.
Sharzad, a lawyer in modern-day Tehran, loses custody of her 7-year-old son after her divorce from a powerful businessman. The boy's diabetes is made worse because the father is more interested in work than in domestic duties, and the young mother finds herself doing her ex-husband's chores during her twice-weekly visits. The situation forces Sharzard to take matters into her own hands. Though a tightly wound family drama anyone can relate to, this film also offers a first-hand look at how young sophisticates live in a severely patriarchal society. A fascinating look at Iranian culture and politics.
