My wife and I were pals for 30 years. Then suddenly, we realized we were in love. I sang this song to her in a room full of strangers. They applauded and she burst into tears...and giggled out loud. At the same time. We've now been married for almost 21 years. Thanks, Old Blue Eyes! And thanks to Rogers and Hart. And thanks to YOU!
Movies like this are simply timeless, not to be taken too seriously, just pure escapism and with Franks voice and the sheer stunning beauty of Kim Novak how could this film fail.
I also like the zipper song,very catchy and entertaining, wasnt a fan of Rita Hayworth and she had a singing voice over so although she had the moves and seduced frank,she didn't sing a notex
They just don't make movies the way they used to anymore! What an amazing time to be a performer- so many of them were multitalented- double or even triple threats.
I too had the great thrill of seeing Frank perform in Las Vegas, near to the end of his stellar career, but it is still one of the best performances I have ever seen, in the first three minutes he had the audience eating out of his hand. What a star!
Definitely one of my favourite songs from the film. No, they just don't make them like this anymore. Love this film, Frank, Rita and Kim, what more could we ask for!
Kim Novak was Absolutely the most beautifulest Actress that ever was. She is Classy,Elegant,Alluring and Softly Sexy. She went on tour of a movie studio with a friend and got discovered. Fairy tale dream come true. She is 87 and still looks good!!!
...Sinatra had one of the most flexible voices one could think of...there's is not a single moment in which he's looses the feeling for the rhythm...and he never shout - never! an idol for all jazz singer in the world!
Sinatra was not a jazz singer. He emulated lester young and Billie Holidays approach with measured phrasing behind the beat. That said. Brilliant and can listen to all three all day long.
So glad you enjoyed it and thanks for letting me know how much. Made my day! I heard an interview where Sinatra said the part he played in Pal Joey was either his favorite or one of his favorite movie roles so he would agree with you.
Thank you so much for posting. If they asked me I could write a book About the way you walk, and whisper and look I could write the preface on how we met So the world would never forget And the simple secret of the plot Is just to tell them that I love you a lot Then the world discovers as my book ends How to make two lovers of friends
Richard Rodgers y Lorenz Hart era un gran binomio, han sido grandes éxitos sus canciones y aquí Frank Sinatra en un número de "Pal Joey" del año 1957 canta "I could write a book" (Podría escribir un libro) muy buena míusica y una letra hermosa. Este film era el que más le gustaba a Sinatra,
Juan Bernardo Irigoyen I looked at your channel and found out you live in Buenos Aires. I love UA-cam for this. People from all over the world can meet and speak to each other. Anyhow, greetings to you too Juan (from the Bronx (NY)
This was the first time I saw Sinatra as a kid in'57. I thought he was the coolest guy I'd ever seen. Went out and bought all those great Capitol LPs of that era.
Rob Lewis Oh yeah. I totally get that. My Dad was a huge fan so, I grew up with those albums like: "Songs for Young Lovers", "Songs for Swinging Lovers" etc. In my opinion, some of his best work was done in the Capitol years with Nelson Riddle and his orchestra backing him.
It is not only the song which is not heard often enough. When was the last time they showed this fabulous film on TV? Yet the TV channels can show trash films as many as three or four times a year.
I love Ella too. I grew up with the Dinah Washington version. Another good one plus a bunch of great musicians backing her up.. I found it on youtube. It was good to hear again.
Years ago, a budding romance of mine with a great guy (or so I thought) came to an abrupt end, and I immediately showed him the door. You know what he said? "I can take or leave Sinatra." Imagine. Later for you, jack.
Vavavavoom with that gown and gloves! They just don’t dress like ladies anymore. And they don’t make gowns like this anymore. No glam movies are made anymore. 😢😢
Kim Novak has such a wonderfully subdued, one-of-a-kind screen presence. I just did a tribute video to her on my channel, using clips from key Novak movie classics, if anyone would like to check it out.
Que puedo agregar sobre Sinatra que no lo hallAn dicho. Solo puedo decir que desde muy joven me ayudaba a sobrellevar momentos difíciles y me levantaba el ánimo escuchándolo.
Great posting, love seeing Frank act & hearing him sing. I would have love to have seen Gene Kelly transform this role in the film version since he was a mega hit on Broadway. No hate; jut wishful thinking!
Anyone notice that Kim Novak starts out the number a little taller than Sinatra, but ends up a little shorter. Old blue eyes was only 5'8. Regardless, love this movie.
+renarga You're right about that Renarga. Rita Hayworth is not in this video. She's in: "The Lady is a Tramp" video where Frank sings that song to her. Here's the link to that scene: ua-cam.com/video/lMDVthcII-c/v-deo.html

Wow. What a story! I could imagine Johnny Carson having you both on the old Tonight show telling that one. Blessings!
I love Kim Novaks' dress ....especially the way she makes the fringe move when Frank spins her around!!
All of his vocals in this movie are sheer perfection. Sinatra was at his very best.

She was my dream actress during my youth. She had class!
I also like the zipper song,very catchy and entertaining, wasnt a fan of Rita Hayworth and she had a singing voice over so although she had the moves and seduced frank,she didn't sing a notex
Frank Sinatra singing a fabulous Rodgers and Hart score. Beautiful Rita Hayworth, who could really dance, and Kim Novak. A Hollywood classic.
Can you imagine what it would feel like to be hugging on Kim Novak!!!
Frank Sinatra always sang songs from the heart!! He really was "THE VOICE"!!!
That he was sweetness😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭.
Yes the man with The golden voice.
They just don't make movies the way they used to anymore! What an amazing time to be a performer- so many of them were multitalented- double or even triple threats.
They sure don't Love this so much😞😞😞😞😞😞😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭.
I love this one....Frank Sinatra and Kim Novak...two of my favorites! This movie was awesome!
I too had the great thrill of seeing Frank perform in Las Vegas, near to the end of his stellar career, but it is still one of the best performances I have ever seen, in the first three minutes he had the audience eating out of his hand. What a star!
One of my favorite songs. Frank singing Rodgers & Hart as no one else ever could.
PalJoey is one of SINATRA' best movie,he played himself girls,clothes,best car,n always ends up with the best 👧 girl👍👏🇺🇲🇮🇹🥰🥰
Definitely one of my favourite songs from the film. No, they just don't make them like this anymore. Love this film, Frank, Rita and Kim, what more could we ask for!
Transcend Fine Jewellery If you haven't seen it, check out "Suddenly". Very good movie.
Thanks 4 uploading; all of a sudden sweet memories came rushing back !
So VERY glad to hear that my friend!
Me too. Used to watch these movies with my Dad...an avid music (and Sinatra) lover. Glad you enjoyed it.
There are some great songs in the movie, “Pal Joey”. Frank sings so well.
Frank Sinatra the best singer ever ❤ Love this movie! What a gorgeous couple Kim & Frank
I love this film so much. It never ages and neither do the stars.
THIS IS SO GOOD - I LOVE FRANK -
AND GORGEOUS KIM -
WHAT MORE COULD YOU WANT ..
Lovely song too.. Thank you !!
Kim was and still is so beautiful, classy, and fabulous! Sending love to the beautiful Czech-American Princess! 🇨🇿

OMG-Kim. Please live Forever!
Yeah-even Grace and Marilyn can't compete with HER
sinatra at his best. he was the premier entertainer of the 20th century
I love this, Imagine a man being romantic enough to sing this to you 😍😍😍

She’s so beautiful and her dress is gorgeous.

I heard an interview where Sinatra said the part he played in Pal Joey was either his favorite or one of his favorite movie roles so he would agree with you.
Sinatra is so very cool and Kim Novak...beautiful. What can you say.....years later and nobody can touch Sinatra as a performer. Simply the best.
Yeah, by Rogers and Hart. They wrote some great tunes.
A great song -- one of the 4 or 5 classics - from what I consider my favorite musical OF ALL TIME
Love this film and songs in it. Terrific classic.
Thank you so much for posting. If they asked me I could write a book
About the way you walk, and whisper and look

Yes, I heard Frank say that too in an interview. That this was his favorite movie. Had some really good music in it.
Nell Sabrsula "I could write a book" is my favorite too Nell, greetings.
somefavs That's right for me too, Thanks and greetings.
Ante todo la voz y presencia de Sinatra, una bella melodía, que belleza el glamour, no dejo de repetirlo, lo retro es maravilloso.

Novac is sultry pretty young. And then there's Rita. Fabulous beyond words.
Thanks for posting this. Such a lovely song yet lesser heard
It is not only the song which is not heard often enough. When was the last time they showed this fabulous film on TV? Yet the TV channels can show trash films as many as three or four times a year.
Fantastic couple and song
The G.O.A.T! If you liked "Pal Joey" you should check out "Suddenly". Underrated Sinatra flick.
Nice.
This song is one of my favorites. Rogers and Hart wrote some pretty good tunes.
I love Ella too. I grew up with the Dinah Washington version. Another good one plus a bunch of great musicians backing her up.. I found it on youtube. It was good to hear again.
A voice like honey a great talent we will never see or hear again
I met her. She was lovely! #TIFF’17
I saw Frank perform one of his last concerts. #legends
Hi there
Isn't that funny, I never noticed the dress till you mentioned it. I love it!
The perfect role for Sinatra--great Rogers & Hart tune. And how about that dress!!!!
HEAVEN IN A VOICE , WOW !
A great Rogers and Hart song. “Pal Joey” is a romantic and humorous movie.
Nobody sings this song better than Sinatra and there has been many covers.
Great one of my favorites movie when I was a kid pal Joey with Kim novak and frank Sinatra what a wonderful memories
Hello
This music showcases the best in everyone who sings it -- Frank, Rita and even Kim who was not known as a singer.
Kim Novak was a beautiful woman.
Thanks for letting me know. I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
Great songs from this movie.
Yeah, and Young at Heart had some great songs in it too.
Lovely Kim is 91 now.
My fav Sinatra song ❤️
I really like this my dad sings to me 😁 buff love you to bits✌️
I love her. so classy!

beautiful movie
Kim is a natural. Not to mention the sexiness she exudes all the time.
Kim Novak was a babe. Period. Sinatra serenading her was too much. I am in heaven.
Glad to hear it.
Kim Novak is such a doll
Willing suspension of disbelief that the people in the nightclub could hear any of this without a mic
Don't over analyze the music or the lyrics, just listen and enjoy.
This is GREAT stuff.
Agreed. Totally. Pseudo intellectualism isn't hard to find, just hard to take.
Que puedo agregar sobre Sinatra que no lo hallAn dicho. Solo puedo decir que desde muy joven me ayudaba a sobrellevar momentos difíciles y me levantaba el ánimo escuchándolo.
Hi
stunning novak that is as attractive as gardner or hepburn
You wouldn’t say that if you see the way she has ended up looking,Yuk horror show.
Simply the best...
Super! Good song; Kim Novak - most beautiful girl !
im in a jazz band at my school and we are playing this song with our jazz choir. its pretty cool.
Awesome,I want to be Kim novakx I'd even be happy being the puppy dog x
Wow Kim Novak , nice real nice
Tailor made for Sinatra!
Great posting, love seeing Frank act & hearing him sing. I would have love to have seen Gene Kelly transform this role in the film version since he was a mega hit on Broadway. No hate; jut wishful thinking!
Effortless exicellence.
Amazing.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I saw the movie but don't remember that version. I'll have to check it out.
Kim's just so darn pretty!
She was beautiful in this scene
Loved that movie Kim was beautifull in it love her,,,,,,,,,,.

CLASSIC FRANK SINGING AND ACTING !!!!

Ol Blue Eyes what a treasure
FRANKIE you were the very best!
Legend 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
Que bonita Kim Novak ,ahora tiene 94 años ,❤
Great film. But i think the original recording on Columbia far surpassed this one. That said- pure magic.
Fifties Blonde bombshell. My Late Dad's favorite lady (save for Mom)...
But, he LIED-LOL
Sorry about the delay in approving this comment. UA-cam's email notification system has been a hit and miss this year.
All the best.
Annette
perfect~
Anyone notice that Kim Novak starts out the number a little taller than Sinatra, but ends up a little shorter. Old blue eyes was only 5'8. Regardless, love this movie.
peace2014 It could have been worse, imagine if Paul Simon sang toKim Novak :)
@@fntime Or even worse still. Mickey Rooney.
It is a great tune on Guitar too.I will learn to playt.
"Simple Plot, but one hell of a movie!"
his GOLDEN age !
Please, the original frame in CinemaScope would really be better !!!!!
Oh man, Rita Hayworth was so pissed.
She's Frank Sinatra's lady/boss in Pal Joey.
+renarga
You're right about that Renarga. Rita Hayworth is not in this video. She's in: "The Lady is a Tramp" video where Frank sings that song to her.
Here's the link to that scene:
ua-cam.com/video/lMDVthcII-c/v-deo.html
+renarga
I heard an interview with Sinatra saying it was one of his favorite roles.
It's one of my childhood favorites, for sure.
I don't blame her...she appeared to have lost her sex appeal!! Her face looked a bit old and matronly!!
