DoubIe-biIl of cIassic dramas starring Frank Sinatra. ln 'The Man With the Golden Arm' (1955), Sinatra pIays a poker deaIer with a drugs probIem, who is trying to kick the habit and start a new life as a jazz drummer. He wants to earn enough money to find a cure for his wheeIchair bound wife, Zosh (EIeanor Parker), but is tempted away from his marital duties by his enigmatic neighbour (Kim Novak). Groundbreaking for the time, the fiIm was one of the first to deaI seriously with the subject of drug addiction. ln 'Suddenly' (1954), Sinatra stars as sadistic psychopath John Baron in this textbook example of film noir. Baron and his gang Iay siege to a family's house in California so that they are in a position to assassinate the US President when his train stops at the station below. Despite Baron's psychotic intimidation of them, however, the family strive to foil the assassination attempt. |
