Frank Sinatra, as the drug-addicted poker dealer, plays a reasonably naturalistic character, but he's surrounded by a collection of bizarre archetypes. Full Review

There are some great scenes, though, notably Sinatra's audition for a make-or-break drumming job, and the later scene where he suffers cold turkey in Novak's apartment. Full Review

Rating: 3.5/4 -- Sinatra, by contrast, is superb, especially in a harrowing withdrawal scene. It's his movie...all the way. Full Review

MAN WITH THE GOLDEN ARM received three Academy Award Nominations, including Best Actor for Frank Sinatra.
