Customer Reviews of Frank Sinatra - A Man and His Music
Wendy from Boston Don't waste your money. This DVD was such a disappointment. It is badly edited with limited film clips and very poor quality in most places. Move on.
Reveals Sinatra as the bravest of TV performers.
At first you think you're watching a film noir. A sleek black car slides through the mean streets, shot from above to a menacing jazz accompaniment. A man gets out; the shot is obscure - is he going to assassinate someone? Collect his gal? He enters an empty, blindingly white building, and begins singing 'I've got you under my skin', pointing forcefully at the audience.
My point is, although this is a TV show, with much cosy banter in front of a friendly audience, Sinatra is restlessly pushing back boundaries in the most audacious ways, from the bizarre sets (the most prominent being a curious (self-revealing?) insect/crucifix hybrid), daring medleys (especially the brilliant, but rather distubing journey through his career framed by 'It was a good year'), and the astonishing singing, as we watch Sinatra frequently having to grapple with the most excitingly jarring backing ever misnamed 'easy' - my dog was startled by a particularly off-kilter bass rumble.
There are more reassuring pleasures too - 'Nancy' is tremendously moving, and 'My kind of town' is the kind of singalong that has you flailing out of your seat. And it's great to actually see those music maestros Riddle and Jenkins take a bow. Fantastic stuff.
The show's great, but deserves better treatment.
This DVD rates 5 stars on the exceptionally quality of Sinatra's performance and the historical value of preserving this masterful career highlight. One might have hoped, though, that some more attention could have been made to restoring some fading of the print. The sets remain beautiful but a bit muted. The sound, though mono, is terrific. Another quibble : although Sinatra fans will be familiar with all the details, there could have been more to the packaging, such as original recording and air dates, some text that puts this program into the context of Sinatra's career, anything. All one gets is a list of song titles. This performer deserves better.
