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.

    Hands of Orlac. good girl/bad girl. Great mise-en-scene, great music!

    7. Film noir, fate, here is an attempt to break free again and again, but it is always in vain. Under that capital, in the bottom-level society with material scarcity and lack of morality, good people always have a hard time. Several push mirrors focusing on faces are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
