AUDIENCE SCORE
User Ratings: 30,820
Rating: 4/5 -- Brando the singing actor and Sinatra the acting singer make a remarkable pair as sharp-suited gangsters and gamblers, along with their "dolls", Vivian Blaine and the English actress Jean Simmons. Full Review

Rating: 4/5 -- A proper CinemaScope delight, with fabulous dialogue, wonderful tunes. Full Review
Daily Mail (UK)
Dec 18, 2014
Rating: 5/5 -- The showtunes are weapons-grade: especially Sit Down You're Rockin' the Boat, which never fails to get any audience on its feet. A must. Full Review
Guardian

Rating: 4/5 -- Ultimate odd couple Marlon Brando and Frank Sinatra play charismatic cats in hats and spats on the mean (but very clean) streets of New York. Full Review
Time Out
Dec 15, 2014
A handsome and funny wide-screen version of the famous Broadway hit. It's over-long at two and a half hours but liberally loaded with laughter and sentiment in the appropriate Damon Runyon tradition. Full Review
Maclean's Magazine
Oct 29, 2019
Rating: 5/5 -- An escapist, sing-along joy with a winning edge of grown-up wit, making for a perfect festive season night out for anyone fond of a splash of old-school style. Full Review

Description by OLDIES.com:

In this Depression-era musical, a timid stenographer (Ruby Keeler) removes her glasses and — wow! — she's a star. A gee-whiz tenor (Dick Powell) asserts his independence. Plucky chorines tap, greedy hangers-on get their comeuppances, and an indefatigable producer/dancer (James Cagney) and his Girl Friday (Joan Blondell) work showbiz miracles to stage live prologues for talkie houses to keep their company afloat during hard times.
