Featured review
Great story. Gritty 50's melodrama played very well by Sinatra and Novak. Great comedic performance by Arnold Stang who definitely deserved more attention after this film.
Also contains one of the most brilliant soundtracks to a film ever made. Sinister accompaniment to Frankie Machine's spiraling demise, it plays so well as the unrelenting "monkey on his back" appears again and again.
Great lingo, too. Very happy the word "lush" is used to describe an alcoholic. Very cool.
Great cinema. An underappreciated piece of American genius.
