35mm Archival Print, courtesy of Universal Pictures! Not on DVD! Screenplay by Don McGuire. Frank Sinatra stars as a hot-tempered singer (imagine that!) who is kept afloat by his buddy-pianist (Alex Nicol) and heart-of gold chanteuse (Shelley Winters). Complications ensue when gangster Raymond Burr enters the picture with an eye for both Shelley and Sinatra’s salary. Produced after Frank’s bobby-soxer era fame faded and prior to his mega-stardom in From Here to Eternity (1953), this noir-stained musical is one of “Ol’ Blue Eyes” most overlooked and underappreciated movies. A NOIR CITY nod to Sinatra’s centenary anniversary.
