    Intense plot settings don't make a movie better, and if it's overdone, it can make it unstable and even confusing. Zohi's character setting is therefore quite a failure. The setting of the completely underground society also makes this movie not very convincing. Still, the soundtrack and Frank Sinatra's performance brought enough vibes, and Preminger's long takes and the film's challenges to drugs and censorship were...

    The language of the camera lens is impeccable, and the film, like a painting, can only watch the classics and sigh, except for the chaos, it can't catch up and can't surpass...

    A 3.5 standard high-quality B-grade film, with stage scheduling under the control of long shots in a space that is almost pure interior, which strongly highlights the repressed and fearful atmosphere shrouded in the shadow of drug addiction. The drum beat soundtrack, as the expression of inner impact and the thrust of the main axis of the narrative, has an outstanding effect. The overall level is not as good as the "Lost Weekend" of the same...

    It may be that Preminger is too concerned about the struggle with PCA, and the film obviously leans too much towards Sinatra's "true" performance, while neglecting to make room for other people in the whirlpool. Especially Eleanor Parker, a princess born to destroy men, turned Preminger into a frightened cat. Fortunately, she finally got a chance. The bad thing is that the noir part is already...

    Sinatra plays a drug addict very well, Novak is not used to playing a good woman hahaha. I really can't love a controlling wife who dresses up with disabilities. . This girl can definitely be the best supporting actress. The jazz soundtrack is very good, and the drums are not inferior to...

    3.5. Women in film noir are really beautiful. The style of the shots is obvious, and the director likes to create the scheduling within the frame, the transfer from outdoor to...

    The second half is really climax after another! At the end Zosi's sentence "I love you very much" loosens the solid black...

    man with golden arm

    Compared with most noir films, "The Man with the Golden Arm" is inferior, whether it is the use of light or the suspense of the plot. Sinatra's excellent acting may make up for it, and the good soundtrack also makes the whole story have the atmosphere of that era, but overall I still feel that...

    Film Noir and Drugs

    Most of the protagonists in film noir are addicted to something, usually a woman, but also money, and "Double Insurance" is a double addiction. The director of "The Man with the Golden Arm", Otto Preminger, made the characters addicted to it because of something that has never been seen in...
