We’re not terribly familiar with Frank Sinatra’s acting career here at SFFCH despite him being in a surprising amount of films. We wanted to see if he could hold his own in something which wasn’t a musical or a cheeky-chappy comedy and we think we’ve found the least likely film from the 50s to star one of the most famous singers on the planet. The Man With Golden Arm is a surprisingly hard-hitting and intimate portrayal of drugs, addiction and recovery from 1955 and, fair play to him, ol’ Frankie certainly did hold his own in a film including: a better class of drug dealer, allowing someone to practice drums in your tiny apartment, lovingly kept scrapbooks of fatal accidents and lot more of us not understanding gambling at all.
