I don't really know if this is great moviemaking or not, but I do know that the play it's based on has a really good message: There's more to life than just money and power. Hey--you're in The Brotherhood of Man!

Robert Morse is amazing in this [mind blown moment - he's the senior partner on Mad Men]. Great cameos and musical numbers as well.

A pretty big disappointment. Guys and Dolls is my favorite musical, and this shows potential to be just as great, but unfortunately David Swift is no Joseph Mankiewicz. Other than the set design, which is amazing, this feels misdirected and miscast. I get the feeling the stage musical is really good, the songs and the plot are good... but as a film it feels a lot like subpar wannabe Frank Tashlin (it's basically Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter - The Musical, but sadly nowhere near as good).

A musical with a lot of wit and charm, a very self aware.

The songs are hummable and the story is quite silly. The dancing is a bit bland, though.

So that's what they didn't teach me in business school - song and dance. Wait a minute...thats ALL they teach in business school! Brilliant!

A truly quintessential musical: meticulously detailed, full of wit and charm, and never dull. It certainly helps that the source won a Pulitzer, a validation that it spoke to the time it was made. As for speaking to us presently, it's been laughing with #MeToo since 1967.

A few decent songs (like Stand Old Ivy) but also some pointless and boring ones. Didn't buy into the love story, it should have been cut down, or treated as cynically as the business parts.

All points for the 60s Mod costumes and set design.

Lively and amusing despite its dated material.
