Rating: 4.5/5 -- The film's reputation hasn't endured like some other mid-century depictions of addiction, like The Lost Weekend. But it's a terrific look at descent and despair, the sort of movie that can end on a sour note but still seem hopeful. 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

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

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

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
