Frank as a Junkie? Frank can act? Yes to both! Frank (during one of his low show his depth & show he can act. A brilliant score by Macini adds to the seedy atmosphere that Preminger creates. When i saw this I couldnt believe it was made 45 years ago. The only downside is the rather moralistic ending - but dont let that put you off - A MUST SEE

Otto Ludwig Preminger was a film director. Born in Vienna, of assimilated Jewish ancestry, he worked with Max Reinhardt before emigrating to America. At first he directed & acted for 20th Century Fox, his Austrian accent typecasting him as a screen Nazi. After the war, he became one of the most consistent Hollywood directors of the 1950s & early 1960s - delivering intelligent & entertaining films, often literary adaptations, albeit rather melodramatic or heavy-going on occasion. Notable films include Anatomy of a Murder with James Stewart & Ben Gazzara, Advise & Consent with an on-form Charles Laughton & Bonjour Tritesse with David Niven & Deborah Kerr. Through a relationship with Gypsy Rose Lee he had one child, the screenwriter Eric Lee Preminger. Otto Preminger died in 1986 & was interred in the Woodlawn Cemetery, The Bronx, New York. Preminger received one Oscar nomination for Best Picture for Anatomy of a Murder. He was twice nominated for the best director award for Laura & for The Cardinal. Posters Of In Harms Way
