Wow! Sinatra portrays a crazed assassin with great acting skill. He could have been a success as a killer hit-man if that other stuff didn't get in the way. This is a very entertaining movie, which incidentally explains the virtue of owning a gun (so you can shoot crooks!)

This film is another great showcase for Sinatra THE GREATEST SINGER OF ALL TIME. In this film you can see the scars on his neck where when he was born they used forceps to get him out the result as you can see is a lifelong scar that he could never forget. This man was separated from Ava Gardner the same year this movie was filmed she was the love of his life, he sent roses to her grave until he did, she was the love of his life no matter how many women he was with he never stopped loving her he spent his life missing her, the same year he did this movie was when she filed for divorce so he was using this pain for his role. He was also just coming off his role in From Here to Eternity a masterpiece so he was at his prime doing this picture. Sterling Hayden a former OSS agent in real life was 6 foot 5 and a giant and he was just finished testifying on the McCarthy HUAC trials where US threatened to take his kids and put him in prison if he didn't testify. He did and it haunted him, is this why he chose this film to film? He later said he regrets doing it, it haunted him for life. The TV repairman was James Lilburn born in Dublin, HIS SISTER WAS MAUREEN O'HARA HIS REAL NAME WAS JAMES O'HARA. So his sister was one of Hollywood's greatest stars! The boy Pidge grew up to be a real life Cardiologist! a Dr. he works out of San Diego! In the start you see a grocery store(Safeway in its younger days) all this filmed in Saugus north of LA, I lived in LA I know exactly where this is!! there was an old train station there the same one used in the film!! Now it is called Santa Clarita, a booming suburb of LA! And the actor who played Bennie (Paul Frees)was a great voice man! Rankin and Bass and Hanna Barbara used his voice talent for many things like Rocky and Bullwinkle, Ghost Host at Disneyland, the Green Giant in the commercials, Pirates of the Caribbean attraction at Disneyland, he did the voices! Doc Savage, and of course my favorite The Hobbit film cartoon of 1977! this led him to do the Lord of the Rings sequel animation, he did so many more voices they called him the man of a thousand voices, and he was!! he was extremely talented he died sadly by suicide. in Tiburon, Sterling Hayden had an apartment in Sausalito! So, I bet these two friends hung out when they weren't working. Both Paul Frees and Sterling Hayden died in the same year 1986 months apart. So, much more to say the actors in this film were amazing people!! The actress who played the mom had a family she stopped acting so she could have her family. She did another movie with Sinatra and Dean Martin in 1958 4 years later, so she got out after she was ready for her family. The start of the movie where the sheriff(Sterling Hayden and the boy) Pidge are walking they stare into a window that has the top toys of that era one of them is the drum set 'Hep Cats' it also says TV, this was when TV was really shooting off. So, anything with TV on it was a fad! Even in the film Sinatra says she (the mom) should be on TV this was in reference to TV becoming THE big thing in AMERICA!! This was when there were 4 networks, yes 4!!! ABC, NBC, CBS...... AND DUMONT THE FORGOTTEN NETWORK!!! there were 4 back then. Jackie Gleason of the Honeymooners started his show on Dumont but went away so he could be on more channels. Remember every chapter has a lifetime of stories!!
