Rating: B+ -- As one Hollywood's first movies about drug addiction, Otto Preminger's drama starring Frank Sinatra, may be more significant historically than artistically. Full Review

Rating: 2/5 -- In short, for all the delicacy of the subject and for all the pathological shivers in a couple of scenes, there is nothing very surprising or exciting about The Man With the Golden Arm. Full Review

The film is a pretty good picture show, as we used to say, but anyone who has read Nelson Algren's wonderfully poetic novel is likely to make invidious comparisons and be otherwise distracted. Full Review

A gripping, fascinating film, expertly produced and directed and performed with marked conviction by Frank Sinatra as the drug slave. 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

Rating: 3.5/4 -- Director Otto Preminger emphasizes the lurid whenever he can ... so that the movie plays like a blurry, bleary night-on-its-way-to-morning. Full Review

Description by OLDIES.com:

Otto Preminger extracts a powerful performance from Frank Sinatra as Frankie Machine, a former drug addicted card dealer just out of detox and trying to establish a new career as a jazz drummer. Back in his old neighbourhood Frankie finds it difficult to stay clean faced with the pressures of his emotionally distressed wife played by Eleanor Parker, his need to earn a living and the fear of his past addiction.
