Der Mann mit dem goldenen Arm (1955)
Frankie Machine versucht nach seinem Drogenentzug in ein normales Leben zurückzukehren. Doch beruflich gelingt es dem früheren Heroinjunkie nicht, Fuß zu fassen und zuhause führt er eine schwierige Beziehung mit seiner Ehefrau Sophia die durch Frankies Verschulden im Rollstuhl sitzt. Frankie hat hart zu kämpfen, um nicht erneut der Heroinsucht zu verfallen. Als er den Kontakt zu seinen ehemaligen Spielkumpanen aufnimmt und sich in die gutmütige Molly verliebt, spitzt sich die Situation für Frankie zu. Frankie startet einen verzweifelten Versuch, sich seinem alten, kriminellen Umfeld zu entziehen. Er möchte sich mit Falschspiel das Geld verdienen, das er braucht, um sich von seinen alten, falschen Freunden freizukaufen. Doch der Versuch endet in einer Katastrophe...
