Some Came Running

2h 15m
Directed by Vincente Minnelli • 1958 • United States
Starring Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Shirley MacLaine
Master stylist Vincente Minnelli applies his spectacular visual flair to this feverish melodrama, a scorching indictment of small-town hypocrisy that sets every inch of the CinemaScope frame ablaze in expressionist color. Frank Sinatra stars as Dave Hirsh, a cynical, hard-drinking Army veteran with literary aspirations. When he returns to his Indiana hometown, his unconventional lifestyle—including his associations with an alcoholic gambler (Dean Martin) and a disreputable party girl (a heartbreaking Shirley MacLaine)—clashes with the town’s conservative morality. It all explodes in a kaleidoscopic fairground climax that blends visual delirium with heartbreaking tragedy.
