Frank Sinatra Candid Interview 1954, The Man With The Golden Arm 

Sinatra was brilliant in this film. Many film critics believed that his acting was equal to or even better than his Academy Award winning Oscar role in From Here To Eternity. Frank, like his perfectionist as a singer was equally as good as an actor.

Chris!! What's your beef with Sinatra??

Hey Chris - - this movie about drug addiction was made in 1954 - - give Sinatra a break !!

Thank you so much for this you have no idea

He was a perfectionist and genius in everything he did.❤️

Sinatras best performance on film!!

Over the years Frankie-boy evidently realized that the more crap he laid down in an interview, the more it the public liked it. One has to admire the pure *genius* of such a consummate bullshitter. Not because his bullshit is so great, but because he was so unceasingly insincere and phony in laying it down. Most amazing of all is Sinatra's "phrasing" whenever he laid down a load. And of course his outstanding ability to b.s. three, sometimes four moves in advance. What a man! What a load!

Let's be honest, Sinatra's performance in Man with the Golden Arm was so hoaky and so over-the-top. When he starts to climb out the window and Kim Novak stops him ... they both should have jumped out the window, it would have made the scene much better.
