The Man With the Golden Arm

The Man With the Golden Arm (1955) more movies like this

directed by Otto Preminger
featuring Frank Sinatra, Eleanor Parker, Kim Novak, Arnold Stang, Darren McGavin

When Otto Preminger was willing to release his drug-addiction drama Man With the Golden Arm without the sanction of a Production Code seal, it proved to be yet another nail in the coffin of that censorial dinosaur. Based on the novel by Nelson Algren, the film stars Frank Sinatra as Frankie Machine, expert card dealer (hence the title). Recently ...

Return to Peyton Place

Return to Peyton Place (1961) more movies like this

directed by José Ferrer
featuring Carol Lynley, Jeff Chandler, Eleanor Parker, Mary Astor, Tuesday Weld, Robert Sterling

If anything, this star-studded sequel is even sillier than the original, adding to its problems by completely recasting all the roles, combining several of them into existing characters. Carol Lynley is the heroine this time, and she leaves Peyton Place for New York to write a book about the hypocrisy of her hometown. The book causes lots of ...

directed by Frank Capra
featuring Frank Sinatra, Edward G. Robinson, Eleanor Parker, Carolyn Jones, Thelma Ritter

Although the main character, Tony Manetta (Frank Sinatra), in this light comedy tends to tip the scales towards being unbelievably unrealistic, the story is pulled off because everyone else is convincing.

Detective Story

Detective Story (1951) more movies like this

directed by William Wyler
featuring Kirk Douglas, Eleanor Parker, William Bendix, Lee Grant, Bert Freed, Cathy O'Donnell, George Macready

Sidney Kingsley's Broadway play Detective Story was praised for its realistic view of an event-filled day in a single police precinct station. The film, directed by meticulous taskmaster William Wyler, manages to retain this realism, even allowing for the star-turn performance of Kirk Douglas. A stickler for the letter of the law, Detective James ...

Never Say Goodbye (1946) more movies like this

When the Gayleys divorce, their precocious 7-year ...
