He would later score Sweet Smell of Success (1957) and Walk On the Wild Side (1962) using jazz arrangements. <BR/><BR/>Frank's "withdrawl" scene is great and I recall being disturbed by it when I first saw the movie.Abe Lucashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13991534345391655980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155853741712764167.post-8796867494624050972008-10-19T07:18:00.000-04:002008-10-19T07:18:00.000-04:00I do like Kim Novak. :)I do like Kim Novak. :)Ginger Ingenuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06904339551806493214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155853741712764167.post-40899074844162974542008-10-16T09:33:00.000-04:002008-10-16T09:33:00.000-04:00Jacqueline - I read your blog post.

So true.<BR/><BR/>I'm very oblivious to things like set design and music. Unless it smacks me in the face, I'm usually like "duhurr". I love the Val Lewton films, but they are obvious re-use of set design, so I guess I'm also forgiving. But your comment about Sesame St. is hilarious!<BR/><BR/>Ginger - I'm not crazy about Frank Sinatra either way. Although, I was very impressed with him in this film. You definitely "otto" see it. Even if its just for Kim Novak!Raquel Stecherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02687110907002450794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155853741712764167.post-75061720697466917222008-10-16T08:18:00.000-04:002008-10-16T08:18:00.000-04:00I haven't seen this one yet, but I'm actually not ...I haven't seen this one yet, but I'm actually not wild about Frank Sinatra the actor. I much prefer Frank the singer; I love his voice...but so far, his movies just haven't done it for me. <BR/><BR/>Maybe I should watch this one and be converted. :)Ginger Ingenuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06904339551806493214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155853741712764167.post-56944423886988160222008-10-15T09:14:00.000-04:002008-10-15T09:14:00.000-04:00I've blogged on this film as well, and I agree wit...I've blogged on this film as well, and I agree with your commments. But what did you think about the set? Some feel that this film should have been shot on location to give it a more realistic feel befitting the subject matter. I'm ambivalent about it and have no strong opinion either way, but I admit there are times when I almost sense the too-neat and orderly city street is reminiscent of "Sesame Street" urban planning. I half expect Big Bird to walk past the window of the bar.Jacqueline T.
