The Man with the Golden Arm (DVD, 1955, United Artists) Preowned
Frank Sinatra delivers one of his most powerful dramatic performances as Frankie Machine, a talented card dealer and former heroin addict struggling to rebuild his life after prison. Set against the gritty backdrop of Chicago’s nightlife, the film confronts addiction, withdrawal, and personal responsibility with a level of realism that was groundbreaking for its time. Kim Novak co-stars as a conflicted love interest, while Eleanor Parker gives a searing performance as Frankie’s manipulative, wheelchair-bound wife.
Directed by Otto Preminger, The Man with the Golden Arm broke major Hollywood taboos and helped usher in a more mature era of American filmmaking. Elmer Bernstein’s iconic jazz-infused score further cements the film’s place as a landmark of 1950s cinema.
