Product Description

 
This powerful drama, which broached the subject of drug addiction in a stark and realistic manner, may be mild by today's standards, but was a groundbreaking and edgy film in its day. The legendary Frank Sinatra plays addict, Frankie Machine, with Eleanor Parker playing his disabled wife. Based on the novel by Nelson Algren. MAN WITH THE GOLDEN ARM received three Academy Award Nominations, including Best Actor for Frank Sinatra.

The Monkey Never Dies: The Man With The Golden Arm

Date of Review:  Aug 13, 2007
The Bottom Line: A dramatic character study of a heroin addict. Hard hitting in 1955 and pretty convincing today, too.
Review: The Man with the Golden Arm (1955)

THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN ARM - Preminger's 4th Movie as an Independent Director

Date of Review:  Apr 12, 2008
The Bottom Line: Released in spite of the censors. Crowdpleaser. Plenty of controversy -see it to find out why and what bothered folks a half-century ago. Sinatra was terrific in this movie.
Review: Note: This review is based upon the 2005 2-Disc SPECIAL EDITION; the artwork on the cover is different than that in the Epinions database. The review is posted with the other 3 already published on the same Movie.

Professional Reviews

  (10/11/2005, p.E5, Dave Kehr): "Preminger defied the contemporary trend toward location shooting by photographing almost all of GOLDEN ARM on a claustrophobic New York street set built on an RKO soundstage, a defiantly expressionistic approach that Preminger would return to and amplify with his brilliant PORGY AND BESS."
