Nothing to do with Biggy Smalls, this movie is occasionally-grating cheese with a shrieky performance from Christopher Olsen. Rush, Mason and Matthau do OK all things considered, but I think it would have been better if the doctors had prescribed him extasy instead.

Not your typical view of American life in the 50's at all, which is refreshing. A powerful if a little too melodramatic look at the effects drug addiction can have on a family, this movie looks great and James Mason gives a great performance as directed by Nicholas Ray.

Nicholas Ray is the fucking man, James Mason is the fucking man, Walter Matthau is solid, the colors are fantastic, Barbara Rush is perfect, the whole damn film is a godsend. On the surface it looks hokey and corny and full of lame, '50s melodrama with an overdramatic score, but Ray is totally aware of all that, and reveling in it, as James Mason lashes out against everything that the conformity and superficiality of that era represents, plummeting downwards in a self-destructive spiral that is truly, deeply terrifying because we know that in his drug-fueled rantings and ravings, some measure of what he's saying is totally true.

It seems like a very heavy movie for the time, but doesn't hold up well.

Jean-Luc Godard ranked this among the finest US films ever made. Recommendation enough.
