Movie Info

After the success of From Here to Eternity, pairing Frank Sinatra with another James Jones novel made perfect sense. Set in the aftermath of World War II, the film stars Sinatra as a recently discharged soldier whose promising writing career has derailed. After a drunken card game, Sinatra finds himself aboard a bus for his Indiana hometown of Parktown, with recent acquaintance Shirley MacLaine in tow. An unrefined good-time girl, MacLaine allows her affections to settle on the hard-drinking

Somewhat fascinating lurid family drama.

One of Minnelli's--and Hollywood's--best melodramas of the 1950s, with a breakthrough, Oscar-nominated turn by Shirley MacLaine.

Frank Sinatra is at his tortured best, and Dino's acting has never been better.

A writerly melodrama that whips up some mesmerising performances.

Audience Reviews for Some Came Running

great performances from sinatra and maclaine, who's cute as a button but also kinda pathetic. widescreen technicolor melodrama about the underside of small town life in the 50s complete with middle class conformity and madonna/whore complex. even dino can't ruin this

Some came running out of the theater after seeing this movie, others demanded their money back. This movie seemed like it was going somewhere for the longest time, but just didn't, it's disappointing.
