“LUCK BE A LADY”
(1950)
.
(“guys and dolls” is a musical with music + lyrics by ‘frank loesser’ and book by ‘jo swerling’ + ‘abe burrows’)
.
(it is based on “the idyll of miss sarah brown” + “blood pressure” – 2 short stories by ‘damon runyon’ – and also borrows characters and plot elements from other runyon stories – most notably “pick the winner”)
(the premiere on broadway was in 1950)
(it ran for 1200 performances and won the ‘tony award’ for ‘best musical’)
(the musical has had several broadway and london revivals, as well as a 1955 film adaptation starring ‘marlon brando’, ‘jean simmons’, ‘frank sinatra’, and ‘vivian blaine’)
(“guys and dolls” was selected as the winner of the 1951 “pulitzer prize” for ‘drama’)
.
(however, because of writer ‘abe burrows’ troubles with the ‘house un-american activities committee’ (HUAC), the “Trustees of Columbia University” vetoed the selection, and no ‘pulitzer’ for ‘drama’ was awarded that year)
