Unfortunately I received some no-name version, which I already had, instead of the Warner Bros. labelled version. Due to the inexpensive price and having been travelling thru the States at the time, I could not be bothered. However since you have been asking for a review, this is what was.

Good movie of Frank in his younger years. I looked at movie stores for years and could not find this anywhere except Amazon. Good movie to have in your collection if your a Freank Sinatra fan.

As other reviews have focused on this fine ***** star movie, I'd like to just make a comment about THIS version. It's been a long time coming to finally get this pristine version on DVD. Not since the final days of LaserDisc when Warner's finally released a near perfect transfer of this movie, have I been waiting for them to do the same on DVD - and they did not disappoint (I tink it's actually the same transfer except this DVD is 1.85:1 and anamorphic wide screen - the original was academy ratio). This movie is actually in 'The Public Domain', that is, it is free to distribute and copy legally. So there are many versions of this movie floating around, often at the bargain bin of $5- or so... However this Warner's transfer is THE copy to get. If you want to experience the beautiful B&W photography of Sam Leavitt in chrystal clarity or the remastered sound with Elmer Bernstein's Jazz score, then do yourself a favor and purchase immediately, it will not disappoint!

I was too young to see this film first run and was happy to catch up to it. The story is grim, but it is fascinating. sinatra shows his acting skills again, interesting to see darrin mcgavin aainst type as a drug pusher. more drama than noir i would say. this film is excellent

**** 1955. THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN ARM was based on Nelson Algren's The Man with the Golden Arm: 50th anniversary critical edition and produced and directed by Otto Preminger. Three Academy awards nominations. A former heroin addict comes back home to become a drummer in a jazz orchestra but, after a few disenchantments, he starts to take heroin again. The choice of a contentious theme, a hero with weaknesses, a woman who reminds us of the dangerous heroin of Angel Face are unmistakably trademarks of Otto Preminger. Saul Bass's titles and Elmer Bernstein's musical score will simply increase your pleasure. Highly recommended.
