Customer Reviews of Frank Sinatra Show: Welcome Home Elvis
The complete Frank Sinatra Show: Welcome Home Elvis The quality of this DVD is very good considering it's age from 1960 !
The all show is about 1 hour+ but you'll see Elvis for only 10-15 minutes , it's must have for the serious Elvis collectors
Film - not tape
Note that the DVD's notes and Amazon's description are wrong. The TIMEX SHOW is from a kinoscope (film) not video tape. This means that the picture and sound quality are poor. While the entire progam is there the start of the show is clipped a couple seconds. If you think you would like the show because of Sinatra and Presley you will very much.
Frank, Elvis, and Sammy shine in antiquated surroundings
First, the negatives: 1) the quality of the video and sound leave a lot to be desired, but fortunately not so poor as to make the show unwatchable; 2) portions of the broadcast feature the backing dancers in performances that are laughably antiquated (not to mention the opening bit featuring all of the stars is pretty corny); and 3) the bonus 45 minute-long Elvis documentary is an amateurish, low-budget production, looks like it was dubbed off a low-budget VHS tape recorded at EP speed (note that the actual Frank Sinatra Timex show is of better quality than this extra feature).
All of the above would normally sink the rating to one-star. Fortunately the DVD is redeemed by a few classic pop songs by Frank Sinatra, several bits by Sammy Davis Jr. (a tune from PORGY AND BESS, a comedy bit where Sammy mimics celebrities), and the legendary summit meeting of the top 1940s and 1950s idols: Frank and Elvis Presley. Neither Frank nor Elvis' performances rate among their all-time best, but both are in good form. Although Dean Martin is not around, another ratpacker Joey Bishop has some funny quips, and a teenage Nancy Sinatra is in some scenes (quite a few years prior to "Boots Were Made..." and "Something Stupid"). The good scenes outweigh the poor ones, making this probably one of the few variety shows of that era that remain entertaining to watch over four decades later. Overall, for Frank and Elvis collectors only ... there's too much better material by both artists available to put this on the must-see list unless you are big fans of one or both stars.
