Catalogue Note

The film adaptation of the Broadway musical (which was in turn adapted from Damon Runyon stories) was directed by Joseph Mankiewicz, and starred Marlon Brando, Vivien Blaine and Jeans Simmons along with Frank Sinatra. Though it was nominated for four Academy Awards, and was the top-grossing film of 1956, Sinatra felt it had been miscast.
