Guys and Dolls

I am watching the DVD of Guys and Dolls.

It is wonderful. Marlon Brando, Jean Simmons, Frank Sinatra are great. The music is equally fine.

The musical comedy is regarded as a great American art form that has been copied and broadcast around the world.

Often these are not snappy tunes.

The overture to Guys and Dolls --- by Frank Loesser --- in based on the form of a Bach fugue !
