Description

The Man with the Golden Arm is a 1955 American drama film noir directed by Otto Preminger, based on the novel of the same name by Nelson Algren. Starring Frank Sinatra, Eleanor Parker, Kim Novak, Arnold Stang and Darren McGavin, it recounts the story of a drug addict who gets clean while in prison, but struggles to stay that way in the outside world. Although the addictive drug is never identified in the film, according to the American Film Institute “most contemporary and modern sources assume that it is heroin”, although in Algren’s book it is morphine. The film’s initial release was controversial for its treatment of the then-taboo subject of drug addiction.
