Premise
Marlon Brando and Frank Sinatra star in the famous musical about gamblers who bet on getting a female missionary to Havana.

Thoughts
It's been forever, but I still remember the fun music, the charming cast, and bright colors. And of course, "Luck Be a Lady".

What I would change
Nothing.

The Seven Year Itch

Premise
When his family goes away for the summer, a so far faithful husband is tempted by a beautiful neighbor (Marilyn Monroe).

Thoughts
It's been a while, but I recall enjoying it. While not Billy Wilder's best work, it had plenty of laughs, the characters were likable, and Monroe was magnetic. I think to got a bit slow in the second half.

What I would change
No idea.
