Viewer Reviews
Like Elizabeth from Ill. I've been waiting for this film to go to DVD since they were created. I too have a VHS copy that was wearing out. According to several Sinatra biographers, Frank gave this picture his blessing because his daughter Tina was Executive Producer. However, he thought that the story would gloss over his "bad moments" and was in a rage when he viewed the finished film and saw that his drinking, womanizing, and temper tantrums were on full display. In fairness, the movie also shows the man as the magnificent entertainer he always was. The cast is fine. Phillip Casnoff, a veteran broadway performer steps into Sinatra's tux real well, although he's clearly a lot more handsome and well built the the real thing ever was. At the same time, although Gina Gerson did great as first wife Nancy, I always thought she would have been better as Ava Gardner. The rest of the supporting cast is great also such as James F. Kelly who's made a career playing Jack and Bobby Kennedy(he's JFK in this one) And the legendary Rod Stieger who is chilling as Sam Giancana. Don't miss Las Vegas fixture Danny Gans in a couple of brief scenes as Dean Martin. For a TV flick the costuming and cinematography are excellent. And above all, the incomparable recordings from the Chairman of the board are on display.
