"There are a number of obvious reasons why the Film Society might choose to show Some Came Running at Wednesday night’s Frankly Celebrating: A Sinatra Salute, their tribute to Frank Sinatra’s career in Hollywood. Vincente Minnelli’s teeming CinemaScope melodrama turns 50 this year, and even if it wasn’t the best of Sinatra’s films (and in my mind, it is), Minnelli’s tendency towards stylistic overstatement provides the perfect contrapuntal showcase for his star’s non-actor naturalism. It also opens up multiple points of conversation, from the rise of the Rat Pack to Sinatra’s own complicated identity as a man’s man who got his start singing love songs to swooning girls. But maybe most significantly, this story of a man torn between two selves and two classes, between striving for the mature manhood that would comfit his artistic aspirations and slumming in a permanent adolescence of bar brawls and d "

"With a five-day tribute to director Vincente Minnelli’s melodramas starting tonight at Anthology Film Archives, I stayed up late last night to watch The Bad and the Beautiful on TCM On Demand. The Bad and the Beautiful marked Minnelli’s first real success as a director of “serious”, non-musical pictures. It’s less self-assured than Some Came Running (to my mind, the masterpiece of Minnelli’s melodramas), but seemingly a hell of a lot more personal. Released in 1952, it was the director’s follow-up to the Oscar-winning An American in Paris, and it landed smack dab in the middle of a series of Hollywood elegies to Hollywood.
