Some Came Running
Everyone knew Dave was back in town... and woman-trouble must be close behind!
Directed by Vincente Minnelli
Produced by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, Sol C. Siegel Productions
A mid-century romantic drama about a war-weary writer navigating small-town social expectations, masculine rivalry, and conflicting romantic attachments.
A former novelist returns to his small Midwest town after serving in the Army during WWII, to the chagrin of his social-climbing brother, and becomes close with an easy-going professional gambler and torn between two very different women.
