Summary:
"On The Town...High Society...From Here to Eternity...The Man With The Golden Arm...Some Came Running...The Manchurian Candidate...Von Ryan's Express...The films of Frank Sinatra are startling in their diversity and sheer range. Musicals, comedies, thrillers, war films, intense dramas, sagas of small town America. In The Frank Sinatra Film Guide, Daniel O'Brien provides detailed information on all of Sinatra's movies, co-stars, collaborators and directors - and, naturally, full details on all the musical numbers from the films."--BOOK JACKET. "As well as reassessing Sinatra's contribution to a wide variety of screen genres, O'Brien restates the case for Sinatra as a major and innovative film actor. A true film star, even if he had never sung a note."--BOOK JACKET.
