60th anniversary screening

In one of the first films to introduce jazz stylings into mainstream cinema scores, Frank Sinatra stars as a recovering addict and aspiring drummer. Composer Elmer Bernstein incorporated jazz elements to create the feel of contemporary urban America, and to express the character’s ambitions and growing despair.
