Frank Sinatra BLOG-IT #3

I felt like I needed to shine a light on this gems talents. I think he is incredibly underrated not for his worldwide famous singing oh no but for his acting. I am a fan of his works leading from his musicals like on the town, anchors aweigh, guys and dolls to his light hearted romances (well not always very light hearted) like the tender trap, young at heart and then to the more serious films such as the man with the golden arm (which is excellent), suddenly and from here to eternity. Anyway lets get on with the show...



1. My personal favourite of his films?

I really liked The man with the golden arm, his withdrawal scene was one of my favourite performances ever.


2. A film match they were made for?


I think him and Paulette Goddard would be adequate.


3. His ultimate box-set:


On the town

The Tender trap
some came running
the Manchurian candidate
the man with the golden arm
young at heart


4. A role meant for them but alas never got the chance to play it?


Hm I have never really watched a movie and thought WOW this role was meant for Frank Sinatra. I would have liked to have seen him in Carousel but no he had to quit.


5. His best character?


I liked his character in High Society just because he is so sweet.


6. The perfect romantic couple.


Maybe him and Ginger Rogers, that would be quite cute.
