What critics compared Guys and Dolls to
When Black's simply singing along to "Love Lifted Me" in his car, or doe-eyeing his way through a number from "Guys and Dolls," you have a singing actor of extremely wily comic chops.
Remember how the great Marlon Brando flopped in Guys and Dolls?
Lane and Sabella, who played together as Nathan Detroit and Harry the Horse in the recent New York revival of Damon Runyon's "Guys and Dolls," form a completely hysterical team.
We’re given a fascinating peek inside this world, a “Guys and Dolls” of actors, producers, hedge fund managers and — as the film tells us in the beginning when Molly is arrested by a platoon of F.B.I. agents — Russian mobsters and money-launderers.
That’s a strange idea, since after, does Nathan Detroit in the musical “Guys and Dolls,” make a great living by simply providing card sharps with a garage for their game?

Nancy and Alan's term of endearment, "Doodles", comes from a song in Guys and Dolls.
"She's All That" is basically yet another tale of how clothes make the girl, another brick in the "My Fair Lady"/"Guys and Dolls"/"Pretty in Pink" wall.
The mob threats have a “Guys and Dolls” gangland quality.
I save such biographical details for my footnotes, and would overlook them altogether, except that it is blindingly clear to me that he should direct, and she should star in, a British remake of "Guys and Dolls."

There’s a slight lull in More I Cannot Wish You, the song that sees Stein and West capitulate and decide that what Millie wants is what matters most – you wish the show picked a different song for them (this one comes from Guys and Dolls), one that felt a little more relevant.
