Aroview: Cardsharp Frank Sinatra, is fresh out of 'the joint' with dreams of being a jazz drummer. Heroin though, is keeping him down, trapped in a stage-set ghetto, with Kim Novak for company. While lacking contemporary realism, this portrayal of drug addiction delivered with a feverish ring. From the Nelson Algren novel.

2 stars (Good Try) It has one of the better theme tunes. It is anti drug which is good but Sinatra isn't that convincing in his performance. ~Tubbs
