When Samuel Goldwyn announced the casting of Marlon Brando and Jean Simmons, it was assumed by many that the “non-singer” actors would have their voices dubbed for the film. In a later interview, Simmons stated that she and Brando also assumed they would be dubbed, but were told by Goldwyn that, although they did not have good voices, they were "real." It was not revealed to the public until shortly before the film opened that Brando would do his own singing. Although some reviews commented on Brando's lack of singing expertise, most found his and Simmons’ voices acceptable. In Saturday Review, Hollis Alpert stated an opinion echoed by many critics: “…Brando can’t really sing. But he has moments when he almost convinces you that he can…Simmons, on the other hand, can almost sing. She has a clear likable voice…”
