Full Plot Details

In the post-war, the alcoholic and bitter veteran military and former writer Dave Hirsch returns from Chicago to his hometown Parkman, Indiana. He is followed by Ginnie Moorehead, a vulgar and easy woman with whom he spent his last night in Chicago that has fallen in love with him. The resentful Dave meets his older brother Frank Hirsh, who owns a jewelry store and is a prominent citizen of Parkman that invites him to have dinner with his family. Dave meets his sister-in-law Agnes that hates him since one character of his novel had been visibly inspired on her, and his teenage niece Dawn. Frank introduces the school teacher Gwen French to him and Dave feels attracted by the beautiful woman that is daughter of his former Professor Robert Haven French and idolizes his work as writer. However, his unrequited love with Gwen drives Dave back to the local bar where he befriends the professional gambler Bama Dillert and meets Ginnie again with the Chicago's mobster Raymond Lanchak that was her former lover and has followed her from Chicago. The unconditional love of Ginnie for Dave leads to a tragedy in the calm Parkman.

Movie Reviews

Antagony & Ecstasy - 9/10 by Tim BraytonOne of American cinema's first great masterpieces about the psychological dislocation of the war generation.
The Observer (UK) - 8/10 by Philip FrenchA quite brilliant look at the hypocrisy and conformity of small-town life in the Midwest and those who challenge it.
Film4 - 8/10 by Holly Grigg-SpallA writerly melodrama that whips up some mesmerising performances.
LarsenOnFilm - 8/10 by Josh LarsenIf Some Came Running survives its dated gender politics, that’s all due to MacLaine. Her Ginnie—overly made up and yet disheveled, with hamburger bun crumbs on her sparkly cocktail dress—is the only one to lend the movie an authentic sense of dignity.
Austin Chronicle - 8/10 by Marjorie BaumgartenThe hypocrisy, sexual repression, and backwater snobbery here is enough to make Peyton Place look like Vatican City.
Los Angeles Times - 7/10 by Kevin ThomasIt is all very complex and confused. Indeed, it is so oddly garbled that John Patrick and Arthur Sheekman, who did the script, have to go for a melodramatic shooting to bring it all to a tolerable end.
EmanuelLevy.Com - 6/10 by Emanuel LevyOne of Minnelli's--and Hollywood's--best melodramas of the 1950s, with a breakthrough, Oscar-nominated turn by Shirley MacLaine.
Empire - 4/10 by Emily PhillipsStylish enough, but the plodding story inhibits the smooth sophistication of the film's stars.
User Review - 10/10 by Michael LSOME CAME RUNNING is one of those films that never ceases to amaze. Starring ratpackers Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Shirley MacLaine, this film from the novel by James Jones must certainly be one of the bleakest views of American life ever put on celluloid. Vincente Minnelli as always shows what a master filmmaker he was. Is it possible that he also directed MEET ME IN ST LOUIS and GIGI? A true genius!
User Review - 10/10 by Elizabeth BThis is one of my favorite movies. Shirley MacLaine, Ginnie, is the poorly educated girl leading an unhappy life bouncing from one man to another, until she meets Frank Sinatra, Dave, a WWII veteran trying to escape his loneliness in drinking and gambling with a cynical new friend, Dean Martin, Bama, whose identifying trait is the cowboy hat he refuses to remove for anyone. Many stories are intertwined, but the moment when Ginnie sacrifices her life for Dave, and Bama's removal of his hat at her graveside is for me among the most heartbreaking of any film.
