    Dave Hirsch, a writer and army veteran, returns to 1948 Parkman, Indiana, his hometown. His prosperous brother introduces him to Gwen French, a local teacher. But the more flamboyant Ginny has followed him to Parkton, where he also meets gambler Bama Dillert. Dave must come to terms with his roots and with his future.

    IMDB | Wikipedia | Rotten Tomatoes

    Not just one of Minnelli's best but one of Hollywood's greatest movies of any era, 'Some Came Running' is unjustly forgotten. It features a career best performance from Sinatra, playing on his surly persona to great effect as the returning soldier and failed writer. Hyer wants him to return to writing but he has no interest, not as confident in his talent as the sycophants of his town. She doesn't desire him as the man he is, rather the man she naively dreams he could be. MacLaine on the other hand can't fulfill him intellectually but is in love with him just as he is. The moment of revelation comes when he cross-examines her about why she liked one of his stories. She replies that she may not have understood it but enjoyed it because it came from him. Sinatra suddenly realizes that finally he has someone who respects him for himself and not some perceived potential.

    There's a dark shadow looming in the shape of Steve Peck, a drunkard who has eyes for MacLaine and wants vengeance for a humiliation at the hands of Sinatra. In the movie's most famous scene, a chase at a fairground, Peck is first seen lit by red neon in an alley, recalling a fantasy scene from one of Minnelli's musicals. He steps out of this movie world and begins his pursuit of Sinatra. Where 'Two Weeks In Another Town' features a character who wants to escape reality for the world of fiction, Sinatra aims for the exact opposite here. He wants to escape his past as a writer and etch out some sort of life in the real world. Fitting then that Peck should seem to step out of a fantasy world to throw a spanner (or a bullet) in the works.

    Elmer Bernstein provides a bombastic score, like a nightmarish Saturday night in a forties roadhouse. William Daniels' widescreen framing is the perfect accompaniment to the skillful staging of Minnelli. The scene where Sinatra seduces Hyer features a surreal twist on the usual romantic lighting of such scenes, turning the characters into silhouettes, a foreboding premonition of how this relationship will pan out.

    German magazine "Der Spiegel" rated this as the greatest movie of all time. I wouldn't go that far but it's certainly in the mix, the pinnacle of the fifties melodrama.

    Some Came Running is the 1958 romantic drama adapted from the James Jones novel of the same name. By the some of its parts, it may just look like any another feature from the genre and period, with its big-name stars and slow-burning plot. Perhaps that is why it has been all but forgotten in the annals of cinema history, unjustly robbed of any status as a ‘classic’. However, it’s not until you watch it, experience it, that Some Came Running reveals its many artistic triumphs that sets it apart from its contemporaries.

    The film is not only one of the earliest examples of a ‘Rat Pack’ film, but perhaps one of the finest. There are great supporting performances from ‘Pack’ members like Dean Martin and Shirley MacLaine, but the real asset is Frank Sinatra in the lead role. As the surly ex-soldier Dave Hirsch, Sinatra arguably reaches a career-best on screen. The crooner plays off his star-persona brilliant, bringing to life a likable rouge of a character, with the tortured soul of an artist. Although, this is just a segment of a surprisingly layered performance, as Sinatra shows he can provide the emotional depth and gravitas for the film’s more tragic moments.

    The actor’s chemistry is there for all to see and really propels the film forward: Sinatra and MacLaine sizzle together on screen, while the bar scenes with the pair and Dean Martin could be mistaken for documentary footage from their real lives. Martin, by the way, effortlessly oozes cool as the southern gambler who never removes his hat.

    Despite the decent supporting cast, and Sinatra’s finest acting performance, the real star of Some Came Running is the director: Vincente Minnelli. This film should be considered alongside some of the filmmaker’s finest projects, musical or otherwise. The reason for that is because, while it may not be a musical, Minnelli pumps Some Came Running with all the technical wizardry you would expect from one, making it as visually captivating as the likes of Meet Me in St. Louis (1944) or The Band Wagon (1953).

    Harnessing all the might of Cinescope, Minnelli fills the screen from end to end, with scenes of characters bustling through a world which becomes easy to lose yourself in. Aided by cinematographer William H. Daniels, the director paints every scene in a florid style, with an almost surrealist outcome. The grandiose and saturated visuals create an intoxicating viewing experience that really spices up the borderline-melodramatic plot.

    Some Came Running (1958) [Re-UP]

    Some Came Running always feels like a film that set out to prove something, when in fact it proves many things: it proves that Frank Sinatra was as good an actor as anyone; it proves that happy endings aren’t always clear-cut; it proves that reluctant heroes are timeless oddities; but above all it proves that authoritative and stylistic shooting styles can transcend genres. Sadly overlooked and criminally underrated, Some Came Running is a forgotten gem if ever there was one.
