‘Guys and Dolls’ to be screened at Movie Night at the Museum

May’s Movie Night at the Museum will feature the 1955 American musical “Guys and Dolls,” starring Frank Sinatra, Jean Simmons, Marlon Brando and Vivian Blaine.  

For method actor Brando, the film was a departure from his usual dramatic roles as he sang his own songs in his first and only musical. Brando portrayed Sky Masterson, a gambler who is willing to bet on just about anything. He takes missionary Sister Sarah Brown to Havana as a ploy to finance a craps game run by Nathan Detroit (Sinatra) and, as in most ’50s musicals, ends up falling in love.  

The film was both a box office and critical hit with four Oscar nominations and two Golden Globes: Best Comedy/Musical Film and Best Comedy/Musical Actress for Simmons.

Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and the film starts at 7 p.m. on May 27 at the Northwest Montana History Museum, 124 Second Ave. E., Kalispell. 

Admission and popcorn are free. Soda, water, beer, and wine are available for purchase. Seating is provided, but viewers are welcome to bring their own cushions or seating.
