Madison, IN—Today in Indiana history, in 1958, the star-studded film “Some Came Running” premiered. Vincente Minnelli directed and shot the MGM movie in Madison. Actors Frank Sinatra and Shirley MacLaine reportedly found the Hoosier town lacking, while midwesterner Dean Martin is said to have enjoyed his stay in Madison.
Many of the town’s structures were converted to accommodate filming, such as a former hatchery that was used as headquarters and Madison High School, which served as a commissary.
