    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 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!

    ...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!

    • @golds04
      @golds04 2 роки тому

      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.

    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

    @JuanBernardoIrigoyen 9 років тому +15

    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,

    • @somefavs
      @somefavs  9 років тому +2

      Yes, I heard Frank say that too in an interview. That this was his favorite movie. Had some really good music in it.

    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.

    • @somefavs
      @somefavs  2 роки тому +1

      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.
