frank sinatra do so many excellent thing in the world of entertainment that it hard to single one out a the best . if i have to name the best thing he ever do and though and it would be his performance a frankie machine and the heroin addict musician and poker dealer who be save and just barely and by the love of a good woman ( play by an exceptionally babelicious kim novak ) . the cold turkey scene between sinatra and novak be terrify and heartbreaking . the movie be very nearly perfect and in fact and from saul bass title graphic to the ground break jazz score by elmer bernstein . it might not be the sort of thing anyone think of in regard to the 1950s and but it a must see nevertheless .
