This is one of the Golden Oldies. I wqas never a strong supporter of Sinatra's dramatic ability but this was a very powerful portrayal of a man with a drug problem.
Good film, really enjoyed it even though it's over 50 years old and some of the acting techiques have changed quite dramitically. However, in saying that, Sinatra puts in a sterling performance, he's by far and away the best thing in the film. I haven't seen all his films but this is the one he should have apparently won the best actor oscar for, and after watching the film I would agree that he should have won it. Groundbreaking films for the time as it deals with herion addiction which hollywood had stayed away from up to this point.
One of the best and most stylish films of its era. Fantastic soundtrack. A real classic, and Sinatra is a revelation.
