Robert Wise's Somebody Up There Likes Me is a good film. Newman did a very good job with the accent in my book and it has some very good performances. This film probably would've been better with James Dean no fault to Newman. It's just some scenes fit Dean more like [SPOILER]
The scene where Rocky goes to talk with his father just before the ending fight. I feel like dean could've pulled it off better with his work showing he was very capable of that with the bedside scene in east of eden and the scene with his parents in Rebel without a cause.

Sure "somebody up there likes me" is a good title, but "don't worry about a thing" would have been more fitting
