Not as a Stranger
is a 1955 drama film produced and directed by Stanley Kramer based on the 1954 novel of the same name by Morton Thompson. The romantic melodrama novel was widely popular, topping that year's list of bestselling novels in the United States. The film was Kramer's directorial debut and featured Olivia de Havilland and Robert Mitchum in the lead roles, backed by a stellar supporting cast including Frank Sinatra, Gloria Grahame, Broderick Crawford, Charles Bickford, Lon Chaney, Jr., Harry Morgan, and Lee Marvin The film was released by United Artists.Sinatra had catapulted back into the limelight as the result of a supporting role for a film from a similarly popular novel,
From Here to Eternity
, two years earlier. Initially a box office success,
Not as a Stranger
is obscure today, never receiving widespread distribution in VHS markets, and was released on the DVD format in 2001 onl. Thompson's novel is mentioned rather ironically in Marilynne Robinson's 1980 novel
Housekeeping
, where it is read by the young heroine (and narrator) Ruth. "That isn't the sort of thing you should be reading," her guardian, Sylvie, says. "I don't know how it got in the house!" The novel is eventually burned by Sylvie along with lots of other reading material before Sylvie and Ruth run away (chapter 10). "I did not tell her it was a library book," Ruth comments wryly. Ambitious but impecunious medical student Lucas Marsh (Robert Mitchum) marries the older and (in this film, at least) not especially attractive Kristina Hedvigson (Olivia de Havilland) so that she can pay his tuition fees. Kristina loves Lucas, but he loves nothing but his work. Emotionally shutting himself off from everyone -- including best friend, Alfred Boone (Frank Sinatra), and drunken dad, Job Marsh (Lon Chaney Jr.) -- Lucas survives his training and goes to work as the assistant to tough
but tender small-town medico Dr. Runkleman (Charles Bickford). He enters into an affair with wealthy Harriet Lang (Gloria Grahame) (watch for the symbolism-laden tryst in the horse barn!), obliging Alfred, now a big-city doctor, to try to patch up his pal's marriage. But Lucas feels nothing and needs no one because he's come to think of himself as the perfect physician, incapable of making an error. When Lucas fails to revive his mentor Dr. Runkleman during heart surgery (a genuine heart is used in the "massage" close-ups), the young doctor suddenly realizes that he's not infallible after all. He wanders aimlessly through town, finally returning to his wife and collapsing into her arms, sobbing "Help me! Please help me!" Cameo players range from Broderick Crawford as a Jewish doctor denied entry into medicine's upper circles to Carl Switzer as a bug-eyed patient. The film was adapted from the best-selling novel by Morton Thompson
Francis Albert "Frank" Sinatra (December 12, 1915 – May 14, 1998)
was an American singer and film actor. Beginning his musical career in the swing era as the boy singer with Harry James and Tommy Dorsey, Sinatra found unprecedented success as a solo artist from the early to mid-1940s after being signed by Columbia Records in 1943. Being the idol of the "bobby soxers", he released his first album,
The Voice of Frank Sinatra
in 1946. His professional career had stalled by the 1950s, but it was reborn in 1953 after he won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his performance in
From Here to Eternity
. He signed with Capitol Records in 1953 and released several critically lauded albums (such as
In the Wee Small Hours
,
Songs for Swingin' Lovers!
,
Come Fly with Me
,
Only the Lonely
and
Nice 'n' Easy
). Sinatra left Capitol to found his own record label, Reprise Records in 1961 (finding success with albums such as
Ring-a-Ding-Ding!
,
Sinatra at the Sands
and
Francis Albert Sinatra & Antonio Carlos Jobim
), toured internationally, was a founding member of the Rat Pack and fraternized with celebrities and statesmen, including John F. Kennedy. Sinatra turned 50 in 1965, recorded the retrospective
September of My Years
, starred in the Emmy-winning television special
Frank Sinatra: A Man and His Music
, and scored hits with "Strangers in the Night" and "My Way". With sales of his music dwindling and after appearing in several poorly received films, Sinatra retired for the first time in 1971. Two years later, however, he came out of retirement and in 1973 recorded several albums, scoring a Top 40 hit with "(Theme From) New York, New York" in 1980. Using his Las Vegas shows as a home base, he toured both within the United States and internationally, until a short time before his death in 1998. Sinatra also forged a highly successful career as a film actor. After winning Best Supporting Actor in 1953, he also garnered a nomination for Best Actor for
The Man with the Golden Arm
, and critical acclaim for his performance in
The Manchurian Candidate
. He also starred in such musicals as
High Society
,
Pal Joey
,
Guys and Dolls
and
On the Town
. Sinatra is one of the best-selling artists of all time. He was honored at the Kennedy Center Honors in 1983 and was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by Ronald Reagan in 1985 and the Congressional Gold Medal in 1997. Sinatra was also the recipient of eleven Grammy Awards, including the Grammy Trustees Award, Grammy Legend Award and the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award.

. Mitchum rose to prominence for his starring roles in several major works of the
film noir
style, and is considered a forerunner of the
anti-heroes
prevalent in film during the 1950s and 1960s. Olivia Mary de Havilland (born 1 July 1916) is an actress known for her early ingenue roles, as well as her later more substantial roles.

Among the subjects covered in his films were racism, nuclear war, greed, creationism vs. evolution and the causes and effects of fascism.Despite the controversial subjects of his films, many of which received mixed reviews, the film industry nonetheless recognized their importance and quality during most of his career, awarding his films sixteen Academy Awards and eighty nominations.

Kramer was recognized for his fierce independence as a producer-director, with author Victor Navasky writing that "among the independents . . . none seemed more vocal, more liberal, more pugnacious than young Stanley Kramer." Kramer agreed: "I tried to make movies that lasted about issues that would not go away.In 1961 he received the Irving G. Thalberg Memorial Award. In 1963 he was a member of the jury at the 3rd Moscow International Film Festival In 1998 was awarded the first NAACP Vanguard Award "in recognition of the strong social themes that ran through his body of work."
