He had a funny line recently while discussing the 1943 John Garfield film "The Fallen Sparrow." Mankiewicz called the movie an early example of film noir. Then he used the plural of the movie genre -- films noir.
"I feel like I have to say film noirs even if films noir is correct," he said. "Because don't you want to just roll your eyes at everyone who says attorneys general?"
Maybe the line was written by the same student intern who makes all the mistakes in the intro and outros.

Abbey Road, my Yorkshire Terrier, his favorite Frank Sinatra song is The Tender Trap. So I guess I'm up for that one.
I'll bet Abbey Road would like "Quiet Nights of Quiet Stars", from Sinatra's collaboration with Antonio Carlos Jobim. Terrific.

Yeah, Fra--
You Built Your Life on rock and roll .
I'm listening to Sinatra's stuff right now.

Grace Slick's choice of rock and roll music was a great loss to the world of music. But she knew what she wanted to do with her own life.
As far as money is concerned - - rock and roll probably pays more but Barbra Streisand has done all right.
..and a great gain to me.

In the hierarchy of music, one of the few rock singers I can think of who
could have been a great legitimate pop-Jazz stylist singer was Grace Slick.
Others would have been Dusty Springfield,Tom Jones and Cilla Black.
Dionne Warwick sang in the top 40 but she was always on the other side with legitimate singers because Burt Bacharach and Hal David are legitimate pop American composers-- Bacharach produced conducted and arranged her records and he and Hal David placed high demands on her. She was the one who went to Broadway to explain, by way of her singing, how Bacharach and David's music was to be presented on Broadway in Promises, Promises in 1969.
That was before the Broadway musical became nothing more than Walt Disney rehashes and rock and roll medley shows, aside from Stephen Sondheim.
As I said previously, Elvis if he had been trained properly, certainly could have sung with the best of them-- and that goes for Aretha Franklin too.
Grace tried to make her voice sound as much like a guitar as possible.

It was. My mother listened to it in Philly. Kollmar was basically a producer, not an actor. Yours.

It occurred to me that Jayne Mansfield might have had a tough time playing pool.

I am basically a rock and roller, but I vote for Sinatra.

Dorothy Kilgallen and her husband, actor Richard Kollmar, had a radio show in New York called "Breakfast With Dorothy And Dick". I don't know if it was heard outside of the New York area.

Yes. Yours.

The novel I was reading today had a brief incident where the characters play pool. That led me to think of movies where the game is played. There's the scene in Sherlock Jr., and there's also The Hustler and its sequel The Colour of Money. What else?

During the 1964 Hard Day's Night summer, Dean Martin had arguments with his son Dino of Dino Desi & Billy. Dean hated rock and roll and he told his son that he was going to knock his blank blank English rock group off the blank blank number one spot on the blank blank Top 40.
Dean went out and recorded an old song called Everybody Loves Somebody (sometime)and he did exactly that--he knocked the Beatles off the number one
spot--Aug 15, 1964. I guess, my father wasn't the only father who hated The Beatles.LOL
Sinatra recorded "Everybody Loves Somebody" before Dino did.

Yes Nancy Sinatra dropped out of Beach Blanket Bingo because there's a kidnapping in the plot. Frank Jr. had been kidnapped 2 years earlier. Linda Evans was given the role instead. DGF, the thread is yours
This famous woman and her somewhat less-famous husband had a show on the radio in which they discussed mostly show business doings and gossip. Who were they? Name of show?

Sinatra film---He doesn't sing

But can YOU do the Wahtusi?
I am sure there are some people here who are proficient at doing the Jerk.
I see you more as a Mashed Potato Man, Down with lots of butter!
In Philly, everyone could stomp. The Dovells, from Philly, were the gurus. ("Bristol Stomp")

Frank sang Witchcraft.
Maybe you`re just more into Elvis than Frank.
Sinatra referred to Rock and Roll as "foul-smelling excrement". Scratch any duet with Ozzy Osborne.

Thanks for the guess Marsha, but not Connie or Where the Boys Are. The film is part of a series that were popular at the time. A popular male singer and female singer were in those films.
Beach Blanket Bingo. The role was given to Linda Evans.

Royal Applegate
Queen Christina?

If Lawrence is correct, the word "Professional" in the clue is misleading. IMO. Just "Party Crashers" would have been sufficient and more fair.
Whoever said life was fair? Lawrence's thread.

Th
I shall submit "My One and Only Love" and "Young at Heart" as my two favorite Frankie songs.
That's interesting that he liked Tony Bennett. Good to know.
There are so many great ones that it is impossible to pick a favorite. If I had to pick one song that seems to epitomize him the most, and which he recorded several times, with different lyrics, it was "Everything Happens to Me".
