He's been seriously underrated as an actor.joe baltakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11467420961490314339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18439960.post-37079230930998210962008-05-12T21:45:00.000-04:002008-05-12T21:45:00.000-04:00Sinatra made a lot of movies, but I stoutly mainta...Sinatra made a lot of movies, but I stoutly maintain he was interesting in only a handful.

"Some Came Running" is one of my all-time favorite movies. I never get tired of it. Minnelli was a genius with color and widescreen, and the performances are all top-notch (I think Arthur Kennedy should've beaten Burl Ives that year - nothing against Burl).<BR/><BR/>I'm ordering the stand-alone DVD of "Some" later this week.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
