Although this is called The Frank Sinatra Show, you'll see plenty of Dean Martin and Bing Crosby when you watch this great DVD. Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Bing Crosby all star in this excellent one hour televised program from 1958 copied here onto DVD. Of course, because they digitized this from archival film you just won't get the same picture and sound quality as you would with today's DVDs. Nevertheless, I was thoroughly entertained and the song and dance numbers completely held my attention. This is also a great look at some remarkably talented people working hard to entertain in the late 1950s.Frank, Dean and Bing sing lots of great songs and they interject a few lines written for them along the way to make it all look so natural. Look for Frank to perform an especially fine trio of songs; he sings "It Was Just One Of Those Things;" "Angel Eyes" and "The Lady Is A Tramp" along with members of the Nelson Riddle Orchestra. The audience loves every minute of this and the applause proves it! Mitzi Gaynor also does some great work on this show. She does a fantastic job dancing with four men for a number called "Hurricane;" the choreography couldn't be better! Look for Jimmy Durante himself to do a surprise brief walk on role right at the very end of the show, too.Other memorable moments include Frank singing "High Hopes" with an adorable children's chorus sitting all around him; and Bing, Frank and Dean perform an especially upbeat rendition of "Old Man River." Great!Another plus for this DVD is that they included the Timex watch commercials that aired with the original television show. The commercials truly create that "retro," nostalgic feel and I like this very much.All in all, this is a fine document of what great talent could do on television near the end of the 1950s. Sure, the set designs are rather plain compared to the audio-visual computerized effects we enjoy today; but the quality of the actual entertainment is five stars plus!I highly recommend this DVD for fans of The Rat Pack; and people who enjoy classic pop vocals will hold onto this DVD for years to come.Enjoy!
