Some Came Running (PG)

Re-release of the 1958 drama based on the novel by James Jones, centred on aspiring author Dave Hirsch, who inadvertently finds himself back home in smalltown Indiana, accompanied by floosie Ginnie. Alcohol helps to blot out Dave’s harrowing experiences of the war, and to soften any tension with his brother Frank and wife Agnes. Bitter rivalries reignite, however, when Dave befriends professional gambler Bama and falls madly in love with schoolteacher Gwen French, then begins to take an active interest in the affairs of Frank’s daughter Dawn.
