The movie referenced in Guys and Dolls specifically referring to "Minnesota man so in love with a Mississippi girl that he sacrifices everything and moves all the way to Biloxi", is the film Biloxi Blues, starring Matthew Broderick and directed by Mike Nichols.

Looked good, until I saw that Biloxi Blues wasn't released until 1988. Guys and Dolls premiered in 1950.
The source you saw, http://www.thenewpolitics.com/2005/08/whats_playing_a.html was simply discussing pronunciation of Biloxi.
As for the "Daily News" reference, I know that the New York Daily News is a newspaper. What you said doesn't actually make much sense to me... Was that a specific article in that paper?
