Summary: Great songs in a tepid film.....
Review: Time was, we could find womanizers funny. But no longer. Frank Sinatra is a bit of a cad here, as he toys with the affections of 2 lovely women--Rita Hayworth and Kim Novak. The movie starts, in fact, as Frank ("Pal Joey") is being run out of town by the police, for trifling with the affections of an underage girl. Settled in San Francisco, Frank uses Rita to finance his new supper club, but cannot give up his star act, Kim Novak. All very shallow, and a rather nice (sweetened up) ending.Not to deny the power of the songs--Rodgers and Hart at their best. Not to deny the beauty of the Cinematography--glorious limpid shots of 50's San Francisco. But that plot!

Summary: Born Right Out Of The Pages Of Playboy Magazine
Review: Was there ever a better flim vehicle for Sinatra to stretch out into his swingin' womanizer persona circa late 1950's? Everything about this movie, especially Sinatra himself is a picture perfect portrait of the sophisticated super-club scene born right out of the pages of Playboy magazine. Catch this one for the great location shots of San Francisco, the lovely Kim Novak and Rita Heyworth and of course the peerless score by Rogers and Hart.

Summary: ZIP!
Review: We've had this LP for years and I've never seen the movie til yesterday.
The soundtrack conjours up all sorts of visual images, and seeing the music on film was fabulous.
This is Frank at his best, and the "mouses" played by Kim Novak & Rita Hayworth were sensational.
