mediocre film noir

Compared with most noir films, "The Man with the Golden Arm" is inferior, whether it is the use of light or the suspense of the plot. Sinatra's excellent acting may make up for it, and the good soundtrack also makes the whole story have the atmosphere of that era, but overall I still feel that something is missing, and the plot and scheduling are not good. I just watched Preminger's "Peachy Case" in the previous paragraph. It is much stronger and more attractive than this one, but the titles of the two are actually similar.
