Great movie. Shirley MacLaine lights up the screen. Her first Academy Award nomination. 7 years 9 months ago -

Some Came Running is an interesting mixture of compelling writing and tedium. MacLaine is certainly the highlight, though she seems so little a part of the story. Her character is mostly just a backboard for Sinatra until the last act. There are a few moments of profound writing, one scene concludes with a man admitting to his mistress "yknow you were 4 years old when I married my wife..." And all the moments of misogyny are definitely viewed critically.
This certainly drags though, at a runtime of nearly two hours. I did not care at all for the romance between Sinatra and the school teacher, which is unfortunately the center of the film. (5/10) 4 months 2 weeks ago
