“Do Not Detonate,” a series of works that inspired Wes Anderson’s new movie “Asteroid City,” opens June 2, at Museum of the Moving Image, with Vincente Minnelli’s 1958 melodrama “Some Came Running.” Like Anderson’s film, Minnelli's portrays a disparate batch of outsiders who converge on a small town. It stars Frank Sinatra in the hardboiled role of Dave Hirsh, a once-promising writer, freshly discharged from military service, who returns home and makes trouble in the (fictitious) town of Parkman, Indiana—alongside Ginnie Moorehead (Shirley MacLaine), the Hollywood stereotype of a floozy with a heart of gold. The cast of characters also includes Bama Dillert (Dean Martin), a hard-drinking gambler; Gwen French (Martha Hyer), a schoolteacher with keen literary judgment and stern moral judgment; Dave’s spirited but disillusioned niece, Dawn (Betty Lou Keim); and his brother, Frank (Arthur Kennedy), a pillar of the community and a first-class phony. The volatile blend of these lusty personalities leads to romantic entanglements and violent conflicts; Minnelli, like Anderson, revels in the alluring decorative artifices of small-town life, which nonetheless seethe with passions that shatter the surface of decorum.
