There's an old movie of some
Damon Runyon stories called Guys And Dolls, starring a young and dishy
Marlon Brando,
Frank Sinatra and others.
Brando plays the hero, a gambling man known as
Sky because when he's betting, he goes right up to the sky ... not a bad film at all, but the stories are better. However, I first heard the US version of
Isaiah there, when
Sky is arguing a biblical reference with, I think, his love interest. Blew my little South African socks off, too.
