Talk:The Man with the Golden Arm

Image request
Especially as this movie received considerable press attention for Saul Bass's controversial artwork, a picture would be greatly useful here. ~ Eliz 81 (C)  06:32, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Public Domain?
I have removed
 * It is now in the public domain because of missing copyright indication.

bcz it is I could easily be wrong, but i think our putting out false info potentially encouraging copyvios by others would be pretty bad, and bad enuf to insist on verification w/o delay. --Jerzy•t 07:58, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
 * 1) unsourced;
 * 2) seems contrary to the precedent of Pygmalion, where the lapsed-copyright film remained protected bcz it was a derivative work of the still copyright-protected play; and
 * 3) the editor who contributed is not immediately available to respond.
 * That's the kind of information that should be removed. I also removed the trivia section in the article. --  At am a chat 18:18, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Probably The Man with the Golden Arm is in public domain. We can search copyright information of post-1950 movies in copyright database. I can't find copyright information about The Man with the Golden Arm in Motion Picture. If till copyrighted, What are these DVDs?add signMikomaid (talk) 01:33, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

I have found an article from the New York Times that mentions the film being in the public domain. Hitcher vs. Candyman (talk) 00:12, 10 March 2018 (UTC)

Stranger song
Now I understand the reference in Leonard Cohen's "The Stranger Song" to "his golden arm dispatching cards"! --Slashme (talk) 08:17, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

Incorrect Synopsis
I didn't want to offend any of the nutjobs out there, but in the scene where he follows the pusher home and tries to find his stash of heroin, the article says he finds some. But I just watched the movie, and I'm pretty sure he doesn't find any. 67.167.251.37 (talk) 00:57, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

Also, he agrees for Schwiefka to pay his bail before, not after, he sees the guy in his cell going crazy and saying he needs a fix. I'm making the change. Wastrel Way (talk) Eric

Poster Resizing
I don't know how to get the poster the right size in the infobox without that coding being there, otherwise the image would appear very big. Don't recall any other articles with this problem, VEO15 (talk) 15:38, 29 November 2009 (UTC)

American Film Institute recognition
Please, allow me to edit this short prose information (as you have recommended me) about well-notable AFI’s recognition:

In 2005, the American Film Institute nominated this film for AFI's 100 Years of Film Scores.

If there is another possible method how I can add this information I will acclimatize willingly. I am very sorry for difficulties. Dr.saze (talk) 06:56, 12 August 2016 (UTC)

Unsquare Dance
I have corrected (deleted) the assertion, here and on the song' own article, that the song "Unsquare Dance" was the opening title theme for this movie. That movie predates the composition of "Unsquare Dance" by six years, and the two songs don't sound anything like each other. Well, they both have drums and horns in them! The Google Doodle of 2013 for the movie does indeed feature "Unsquare Dance" for some unknown reason. The Otto Preminger movie's title theme was composed by Elmer Bernstein and is famous itself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hv0gi730q60 (another good version is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1RZLiDarw70) and see http://www.tcm.com/mediaroom/video/197521/Man-With-The-Golden-Arm-The-Original-Trailer-.html.Dicirnah (talk) 19:09, 5 May 2018 (UTC)
