Customer Reviews of Man With the Golden Arm (B&W)
The Man With the Golden Arm Golden-throated crooner-turned-actor Sinatra shifted into bleak, non-singing territory in Otto Preminger's visceral "The Man With the Golden Arm," a groundbreaking portrayal of drug addiction based on the novel by Nelson Algren. Though Preminger's treatment of the drug theme now feels inevitably dated, Sinatra turns in an astounding performance as jittery hard-luck case Frankie Machine, earning him his only Oscar nod for Best Actor. Elmer Bernstein's crime-jazz score adds a perfectly seedy tone. McGavin also has a field day playing Frankie's pusher.
Somewhat dreary and tedious
The beatnick style of the film and the soundtrack are OK but it's still an old movie so it moves slow and can be a bit tedious. It is a great work but still on the dull side.
A Golden Performance!
Sinatra is at his best in Otto Preminger's "The Man With the Golden Arm." Sinatra makes you believe he is the junkie he portrays in the 1956 classic. It has been written up by movie critics ovet the decades and I have to agree with the ones that I have read; this movie is still awsome!!
