This film was highly acclaimed and recommended. But I wish it hadn't been. The acting is superb (Frank Sinatra is great!) but the content left me feeling unattached to any character in the film. There is adultery, murder and drunkenness thought the story and no real resolve at the end. I wish I had not watched this but had watched "It happened one night" instead.

It might not be as good as the novel, but on its own this movie is very excellent, and the cast is simply superb.

Heavy topics make good Best Picture-winner
It had very good acting, and you felt for the characters at the end, which is always essential for me if a movie is going to grab my attention. A lot of people will probably get depressed by all the heavy themes, but that's what adds to the drama and realism of its pre-12/7 topic.
