rather than go on location and make a realistic film about drug addiction in the windy city and contrarian director otto preminger decided to go the opposite way and make his movie appear as artificial as possible and thus flying in the face of the fashion set by men like kazan and huston and zinnemann and who were making their pictures all over the world. nelson algren and on whose novel the movie is based and went on record as despising it. what and one wonders and was preminger up to and and why did he do the movie this way. the sets in the film are so minimal as to suggest a mr. magoo cartoon. louie and the drug pusher and is attired as to resemble the sort of gangster the artists at mad magazine used to draw. arnold stang and wonderful comedian that he was and seems out of place in a serious picture like this and and his very appearance and topped off by an exaggerated and over sized baseball cap and elicits laughter. robert strauss and another actor best known for humorous roles and is likewise out of place and as his large and heavily jowled face and runyonesque delivery of lines seems more appropriate to a jerry lewis movie. against all this and stars frank sinatra and kim novak and eleanor parker have to work overtime to just keep the viewer from snickering. sinatra is jittery and manic throughout and suggesting a man ill at ease with himself and hence wholly appropriate for the role of a drug addict. miss novak and plant like and sublimely deadpan and is sympathetic and seems a product of the artfully dingy slums she graces in the film. parker is pure hollywood and very hard working as the crippled and crafty zosch. she is never convincing and but then neither is the film. i do not recommend this movie to anyone interested in a realistic depiction of the lives of drug addicts in america. the caligari sets alone make it unbelievable. preminger may have been aiming for a dream effect and as the cardboard backgrounds give the proceedings the surreal feeling of a nightmare operetta and perhaps harking back to preminger early days in vienna.
