Review of The Man with the Golden Arm (1955) by Grant W — 19 May 2018
This film has a lot of good things going on. Let's have a rundown:
Frank Sinatra playing the lead character - good.
Art direction - good.
Music score - good.
Characters and character interactions - good.
It's so disappointing that the film starts on such a promising high only for it to spiral downward into slow derivative melodrama by the end.
Overall, the film's good qualities are enough to make it a passable experience, but man is it a disappointment.
