  • He Really Can Act: This was Frank Sinatra’s first foray into serious acting after plenty of musicals.
  • Moral Event Horizon: Staff Sgt. Judson beating Maggio to death.
  • Never Live It Down: An urban legend has since arisen that Sinatra got his Oscar-winning part thanks to his mob connections. That hasn’t been proven, but it did inspire the Johnny Fontane storyline in The Godfather.
