New on Blu-ray: SOME CAME RUNNING (1958) Starring Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Shirley MacLaine

BUY FROM AMAZON

Product Description: After a round of partying he can't remember, World War II veteran Dave Hirsh is placed on a bus headed for the last place he'd choose: Parkman, Indiana, the hometown Hirsh hasn't seen in well over a decade. Frank Sinatra plays Hirsh, whose arrival in Parkman brings small-town hypocrisy to the unforgiving light of day in this character-driven tale directed by Vincente Minnelli and based on a novel by James Jones (whose From Here to Eternity had led to Sinatra's 1953 Oscar).

In his first screen pairing with Sinatra, Dean Martin plays a sharp-witted cardsharp. And Shirley MacLaine earned one of the movie's five Academy Award nominations as the good-hearted floozie with a potentially fatal attraction to Hirsh.
