I understand that when the film version of Guys and Dolls was made, the initial plan was to dub Brando's and Simmons's voices. (This had been done successfully in many musicals, but atrociously in "Carmen Jones," where Harry Belafonte's and Dorothy Dandridge's own lovely voices were overdubbed by [with poor lip synch-ing] by operatic voices that just didn't fit the characters or the actors.) In the end, the studio (MGM?) decided that having their stars do their own singing would make the movie more real -- like Sky Masterson and Sarah Brown singing to each other, instead of professional singers doing so.

Personally, I kind of liked it that way. Certainly a lot more than I did "Carmen Jones."

PS
Kendall, I was under the impression that people who still use "bushel" as a measurement also still use "peck" (which is what --1/2 bushel? 1/4 bushel?).
Anyway, Peter Piper still picks pickled peppers by the peck, doesn't he?
