* ValuesResonance: Alongside DrugsAreBad, the main points of the story are that decent people can become drug addicts, and that the success of an addict trying to kick the habit is based on whether the addict has a supportive social environment after rehab. Those have both been repeatedly emphasized by people trying to fight the modern opioid problem.

* OvershadowedByControversy: With the court battles over ''Theatre/TheMoonIsBlue'' still raging, Creator/OttoPreminger and Creator/UnitedArtists knew they'd have a fight with the [[UsefulNotes/TheHaysCode MPAA]] over this film, since it dealt heavily with drug abuse. Since they'd had success releasing ''The Moon is Blue'' without a Production Code seal of approval, they decided to release it even before they submitted the film to the MPAA, hoping that the MPAA would eventually approve it because of the DrugsAreBad message. Instead, the MPAA rejected it. But the usual consequences of a film not getting the seal didn't happen. Hardly any government entities tried to ban it, most theater chains carried it, and the Catholic Legion of Decency didn't give it the dreaded Condemned rating. Even more than ''The Moon is Blue'', ''The Man with the Golden Arm'' was instrumental in hastening the downfall of the Production Code.

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: There seems to be some kind of [[HoYay homoerotic subtext]] in Louie's interactions with Frankie. The way he singles out Frankie, then pesters him, then takes obvious satisfaction when Frankie gives into his urges and they sneak off together for heroin all suggest that Louie has some kind of twisted personal feelings for Frankie. Louie even takes his shirt off in front of Frankie the last time Frankie comes to see him.
