Product Description

Synopsis

Developed by Tina Sinatra and approved by Frank himself, Sinatra is a made-for-television mini-series following the life and times of Frank Sinatra, one of the most popular and acclaimed singers of the 20th century. Opening with his childhood in Hoboken, New Jersey, the film follows Sinatra's (Philip Casnoff) rise to the top in the '40s, through the dark days of the early '50s and his triumphant re-emergence in the mid-'50s, to his status as pop culture icon in the '60s, '70s and '80s. In between, the film hits all of the main events, including his three marriages, his connections with the Mafia and his notorious friendship with the Rat Pack. Even with the presence of Tina Sinatra as executive producer, Sinatra doesn't gloss over the more unsavory portions of Frank's life, which makes it all the more impressive. With the exception of a couple of early songs, all the music in the movie is taken from the original Sinatra recordings. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Movie Guide

5.0 out of 5 stars Waiting for this to be Transferred to DVD!, Feb 24 2004
This review is from: Sinatra -TV Mini Series (VHS Tape)
This was originally a two or three part television mini-series so that is why it is about 4 hours long. I watched Sinatra when it was originally aired on TV and I really liked it and I think everyone involved did a great job and I believe this is the only movie about Sinatra that the Sinatra family approved of and I thought they really seemed to tell it like it was without sugar coating anything and I was impressed by that. I tried to tape this move last year when a cable station was showing the whole movie but someone had messed up the VCR connections and it didn't come out and I'm hoping that this will be transferred to DVD.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a GREAT representation of Sinatra's life, Jun 29 2002
By Sallie A. Martin (OK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Sinatra -TV Mini Series (VHS Tape)
This is the most detailed and accurate documentary of Frank Sinatra out there. Tina Sinatra, his daughter was a producer of this film so it is as close to the real thing as it gets.

Philip Casnoff has the opportunity to be Frank, and does so very well. He is VERY believable. You can tell that he took time to study Frank very hard because he picked up his accent and body movements.

This film starts well, at the beginning! It shows the odds that were against him and his great desire to sing. He begins his career in the Hoboken 4, and sings "Shine" which becomes somewhat a hit. The 4 hour long movie goes through his life, depicting his rise to stardom as he sings with Harry James, and Tommy Dorsey. It also takes you through many loves and many movies that he filmed like On the Town, and Pal Joey. The film even portrays the acedemy award ceremony where he wins best oscar for From Here To Eternity.

When I watched this movie, I felt like I was really watching Frank's life being lived in front of me. You hear his music all throughout the film. After you watch Sinatra, check out a book and cd set called Frank Sinatra An American Legend. The cd contains most of the music that he sang in the movie as well as commericals and promotions that he did!

If you have always wanted to know how Frank lived it, checks this movie out. It is as realistic as it gets.

5.0 out of 5 stars Kudos to Tina, Jan 9 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Sinatra -TV Mini Series (VHS Tape)
At first, I thought Casnoff was a poor choice...after all, who could possibly play Sinatra, a cultural institution? I should've trusted his daughter to choose the right actor. Philip Casnoff was perfect. Each time I see the film, I like him better and better. There was an edge to his portrayal that fits the Sinatra who lives in my head. I thought Gina Gershon was wonderful as the long-suffering Nancy Sinatra, Sr.

This was an excellent TV movie about Frank Sinatra's life. It didn't try to make him out to be a saint, but made him three dimensional, more real-to-life. Read more

I first saw this film on TV and was very impressed with it. The music is great, the leading actor IS Sinatra, it shows the singer's flaws as well as his talent. Read more
