where was the man with the golden arm filmed
The Man with the Golden Arm Frank Sinatra jumped at a chance to star in the film before reading the entire script. The script was given to Marlon Brando around the same time as Sinatra, who still harbored some anger at Brando for beating out Sinatra for the lead role in On the Waterfront.[13] To prepare for his role, Sinatra spent time at drug rehabilitation clinics observing addicts going cold turkey.[14] He also learned to play drums from drummer Shelly Manne.[3] The picture was shot in six weeks at RKO Studios in Hollywood from September 26 through November 4, 1955.[15]
