This is my first film with Frank Sinatra.
And you know - he is bloody good actor!
And the movie itself - well, thats why they call it masterpiece .



Marlon Brando was offered the role of Frankie Machine, but Frank Sinatra jumped at the opportunity and was signed before Brando could accept.

The movie's poster was as #14 of "The 25 Best Movie Posters Ever" by Premiere.

Frank Sinatra is mentioned twice in Nelson Algren's 1949 novel on which the film is based.

A poster for director Otto Preminger's Carmen Jones is prominently featured on the building across the street from the saloon during the opening scene.

In the original novel, Frankie did kill Louie and hangs himself in a cheap hotel room while on the run from the police.
This was changed for the movie and, in fact, the movie plot is very different from that of the original novel.
