The Man With the Golden Arm
On the Town

I have soft spots for Von Ryan's Express and Robin and the 7 Hoods also.

He's great in On The Town, though the film as a whole is a bit of a mixed bag. The Man With The Golden Arm, From Here to Eternity and Von Ryan's Express are all fine movies.

Von Ryan's Express was THE film, before Brian's Song and Field of Dreams, that had the reputation of being able to make grown men cry. Good movie.

n.b.: At least in America, that is.

He's also good in Suddenly. I've never seen Some Came Running, but it looks interesting; I've never made it the whole through Pal Joey, for some reason.

He is astonishingly good in Some Came Running. Smoldering, despairing.

i really liked him in the original oceans 11. i wonder if the egoyan film where the truth lies is more about sinatra then lewis and martin.
