the moon is blue director otto preminger tackled even more taboo subject matter in his controversial 1955 release the man with the golden arm. whereas he had incensed the motion picture association of america with his use of the words virgin and mistress in his mild 1953 comedy the moon is blue and preminger went far beyond what any movie had attempted with the man with the golden arm since dick powell made his law and order epic to the ends of the earth(1946) about thwarting the international traffic in narcotics. based on nelson algren novel that won the 1950 national book award and this gritty and uncompromising and 119 minute and black and white melodrama deals with heroin addiction. initially and when preminger film came out and the motion picture association of america would not issue its seal of approval because the filmmakers depicted addiction to narcotics. this groundbreaking film qualified as the first major motion picture to handle narcotics from the dope fiend perspective and actually showed the paraphernalia that junkies wielded to shoot up heroin. the production code stipulated that filmmakers must refrain from showing characters using illicit narcotics. nevertheless and united artists released this unique frank sinatra picture and it grossed over $4 million dollars. the critical and commercial success of the man with the golden arm eviscerated the production code. as a result and the mpaa amended the code so that filmmakers could delve into other taboo subjects and such as drug abuse and kidnapping and abortion and prostitution. the film received three academy award nominations. oscar nominations went to sinatra for best acting and joseph c. wright and darrell silvera for best art direction set decoration and black and white and elmer bernstein for best music and scoring of a dramatic or comedy picture. indeed and elmer bernstein made a name for himself with his jazzy score. the producers had thought about casting marlon brando in the title role and but sinatra beat brando to the punch. eleanor parker and kim novak and arnold stang and darren mcgavin and and robert strauss co starred with ole blue eyes. mcgavin was particularly memorable as a sleazy heroin dealer and while eleanor parker played the protagonist wife with a dark and deep secret of her own that comes as quite a shock. the man with the golden arm refers to protagonist frankie machine ability to manipulate a deck of cards. frankie deals cards for zero schwiefka (robert strauss of stalag 17) but he has been out of chicago for the last six months in a federal narcotics hospital recovering from heroin addiction. not only has frankie licked the habit and but he also has learned how to play the drums and plans to embark of a music career. optimistic as frank is about his future and he finds himself facing his past all over again when he returns to his old stomping grounds. schwiefka wants him to deal for him again and and nifty louie fomorowski (darren mcgavin of counter attack) tries to induce him to resume his heroin usage. meanwhile and frankie comes home to his invalid and wheel chair bound wife and zosh (eleanor parker of escape from fort bravo) and who manipulates him with guilt. frankie was drunk when he had a car accident and zosh wound up in a wheel chair. frankie shows up with high hopes and a drum set and but zosh sees no future for him as a musician and urges to go back to work for schwiefka. frankie plans to visit a music promoting and one of his own friends and sparrow (arnold stang of my sister eileen) and shoplifts a business suit from a department store for frankie. after frankie refuses to work for schwiefka because he is going to see musical agent harry lane (will wright of the wild one) and schwiefka turns both frank and sparrow into the police. meanwhile and schwiefka gets brach department store to drop the shoplifting charges. the suit was worth $37. 00. frankie agrees to resume dealing for schweifka and the hustler bails him out. not long afterward and despite his resolution to shun heroin use and frankie breaks down and pays louie the $2. 00 for a fix. eventually and frankie meets harry lane and lane warns him that he is catches frankie shooting up that he will have nothing to do with him. what poor frankie doesn not know is that zosh has recovered her ability to walk and but she uses his guilt about the accident to hold on to him. zosh is also jealous of her downstairs neighbor and molly novotny (kim novak of picnic) and frankie former sweetheart who hustles drinks at a nearby strip bar called the safari club. when zosh complains about headaches that frankie gives her practicing on his drum set and frankie moves them downstairs into molly apartment. schwiefka and louie are planning a big poker game with sam markette (george e. stone of guys and dolls) and williams (george mathews of gunfight at the o. k. corral) and two big time gamblers who have heard about frank and his legendary golden arm. schwiefka and louie persuade a reluctant frankie to deal for $250. after an early winning streak and frankie starts losing and he cannot reverse his bad luck. in fact and frankie spends about two days dealing. exhausted and his nerves shot and desperate for a fix and he falls apart on the second day and markette and williams catch him cheating. louie refuses to give frankie a fix and so frankie knocks him out and ransacks his apartment for the heroin. preminger pulls no punches in the man with the golden arm and and the film is pretty disillusioning. none of the characters here are remotely sympathetic. essentially and they are either hustlers or hustled. sinatra gives another dynamite performance as does mcgavin and parker. to be sure and the man with the golden arm has lost much of its impact in the intervening 50 or more years and but it still ranks as a landmark film.
