Frank at his best!

1965 TV special with a guest appearence by daughter Nancy. This is Frank at his best for sure. In great spirits and great voice he seems to be having a great time. Great orchestra and selection of songs. I just wish it was about three hours long! LOL...

Average video quality fir the time still can't hurt when Frank sings more of his great songs!

Reviewed in the United States on February 26, 2004

I can't believe some of the criticism. I have most everything Frank recorded and although the sound should be better, you're seeing Frank live with great orchestras (Riddle and Jenkins), and he's wonderful. You see the confidence and the perfection. I wish there were better quality Frank vids, but this is it.

Do not buy this one for hundreds of dollars. The rare Sinatra featuring daughter Nancy is part of the 3 tape set Sinatra-Reprise Collection volume 3-for under $10!!!!!!

That's Life

Reviewed in the United States on December 1, 2000

This is the show that introduced That's Life to the world. I wrote That's Life. Perhaps of some historical interest, this show was taped before the phonograph record was made. The musical arrangement used on the show is by Nelson Riddle. This arrangment that was originally intended for use on the record but was replaced by Ernie Freeman's now classic arrangement when the record was made just a few days before this show aired. Actually, Sinatra did attempt to make the record featuring the Riddle arrangement while he was in England making a film but the attempt failed. Pre recorded tracks were shipped London and Sinatra tried to add his vocals; but, he always preferred recording with a live orchestra and was unhappy with the results of performing to tracks. The recording was ash canned...although it still may be somewhere in the Warner Bros vaults. For now, the only place to hear the arrangement originally intended for use on the recorded version of That's Life is on this video.

sad state of Sinatra on DVD...

Reviewed in the United States on December 6, 2005

I see that a deluxe five DVD set of Barbra Streisand's TV specials has been released recently... So why doesn't Warner/Reprise do the same thing for Frank Sinatra's classic TV specials? Could "The Family" be involved perhaps...? Sure, they can get behind a phony "Sinatra at the Palladium" multi-media extravaganza where you watch 20-foot projected videos of Sinatra singing accompanied by a live orchestra thanks to "unprecedented access to Frank Sinatra's film archives"... but they can't seem to get Sinatra's video performance legacy released appropriately on DVD...

The classic 1960s, 70s, and 80s musical TV specials (A Man and His Music Part I & II, Sinatra+Ella+Jobim, The Main Event, etc...) are still being sold as individual DVDs at full price ($15-$20 each). They are each about 50 minutes long with "stereo" sound (actually "2-channel mono" I think) with no bonus features whatsoever, packaged in flimsy plastic and cardboard cases.

Why don't they compile all 9 of the Reprise Collection Sinatra TV specials in a 3-DVD package with 3 specials per DVD? Price it at about $40-$50, include some bonus goodies (there must be hours of stuff in the vaults... better go with 4 DVDs!) and give this material the deluxe, classy treatment it deserves.

Surely this would sell well enough to justify the minimal investment required (just repackaging/remastering the same old material for the most part). Wouldn't a DVD set like this be a better 90th birthday "limited edition" release than reissuing the sub-standard Duets CDs again? And what about all the amazing unreleased audio that remains stagnating in the vaults...? Get with the program, folks!

I am truly very happy for all you Babs fans though! You're "the luckiest people in the world..."

Great couple of shows

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 9, 2019

Verified Purchase

Sinatra's first 2 TV specials are included on this single-DVD set. Sinatra is in fine form and the first show, A Man And His Music (1965), is particularly good. My favourite bits are the striking opening, where Frank walks into the empty studio, and the short introduction to Come Fly With Me that Gordon Jenkins (I presume) has composed, accompanied by footage of old planes.

The picture quality is acceptable, probably as good as you will find, and the sound is surprisingly good. Colour video recording may have been in its infancy in 1965, but sound recording was not!

NANCY SELLING THIS DVD NOT FATHER FRANK

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 10, 2013

Verified Purchase

This DVD I bought just for the mega hit "bang bang" performed by Nancy. I'm sorry I'm not a big fan of Frank, so I did not based on the merits of an assessment of his songs. Image quality (song Bang Bang) is very good not great, but it's very close. I recommend this DVD to people who inspires Nancy.
