No Place Like Movies at Home: Some Came Running

There are just some movies that no matter how many times you see it.. it never really gets any better. I have the grave misfortune to say that about Some Came Running. 


When an army vet comes home to his small town, he starts to stir up trouble. When arriving he finds that his intoxicated self invited a girl along. He stirs up trouble almost at the moment he gets home.

In all of the wonderful film of Mr. Sinatra's there are some that are hard and too dull to watch, some that are flops, and some that become some of the best classics you will see. Some Came Running is one of the long and dull ones. There really ins't much here to really be interested in. I think it mainly because you can tell that Frank Sinatra doesn't really want to be doing this film himself. Yes, it's got Dean Martin, and the ever wonderful Shirley MccLaine, but it never really takes off. This is a great piece if you are wanting to watch more of what the Director, Vincent Minnelli, can do. However, there really isn't much more to say other than it was long, and slow.
