Review of Love Me, Love My Doll (2007) by Scott R — 01 Sep 2017

Samuel Goldwyn's uneven adaptation of the Broadway smash is faithful to the show but jettisons the score's most popular song ("A Bushel and a Peck"); similarly, the film retains Stubby Kaye and Vivian Blaine from the Broadway cast, and then oddly casts non-singers Marlon Brando and Jean Simmons as the leads and miscasts Frank Sinatra as Nathan Detroit when he should have played Skye Masterson.

Big-budget, colorful, but rather empty. Nevertheless, it still managed to become the highest-grossing film of 1955.
