Music reviews of Sinatra in Hollywood 1940-1964

Music Review: Strictly for completists
Rating: 3 Stars

Although I was disappointed with SINATRA IN HOLLYWOOD, I'll still give it three stars because, after all, it is Frank Sinatra. But be warned--this is a collection aimed at the die-hard Sinatra completist and not the mere curiosity seeker.

The packaging is feast for the eyes. Everything is beautifully bound and printed. The 120-page book is outstanding, with essays by Leonard Maltlin, Michael Feinstein, Charles L. Granata, Didier C. Deutsch, Scott Allen Nollen and the perennial Will Freidwald. The photographs are also beautiful.

As for the music, I must start with a disclaimer. I personally am not a fan of Sinatra's Columbia records from the '40s, and three of the six discs in this collection are devoted to this period. If you're a fan of Sinatra's records from the '50s and '60s--which, let's face it, most of his listeners are--this collection may not be what you're looking for.

That said, I'll limit my remaining comments to the last three discs.

Throughout the six discs, the songs are broken up chronologically by film. In my opinion, disc four is the best. It features tunes from the films "From Here to Eternity," "Three Coins in the Fountain," "Young at Heart," "Finian's Rainbow," "Not as a Stranger," "Guys and Dolls" and "The Tender Trap."

The selections from "Young at Heart" are sublime, featuring an intimate Bill Miller piano accompanied version of "Someone to Watch Over Me" (with subtle orchestration later added by Riddle) and a fantastic Bill Miller/jazz quartet version of the Sinatra stalwart "Just one of Those Things." These two cuts alone are almost reason enough to by the whole set. Interestingly enough, "Young at Heart" also features a Bill Miller-accompanied version of "One for my Baby," which is almost identical but recorded four years prior to the legendary version on ONLY THE LONELY.

The "Finian's Rainbow" selections feature a charming duet with Ella Fitzgerald (and the Oscar Peterson Trio!) called "Necessity," as well as a fascinating two-minute scat number with Louis Armstrong called "Ad Lib Blues." The other tunes from "Finian's Rainbow" are also excellent.

Disc five is also good, highlighted by songs from Cole Porter's "High Society" and Rodgers & Hart's "Pal Joey." "Pal Joey" yields the classics "I Didn't Know What Time it Was," "There's a Small Hotel" and "I Could Write a Book" (none of which, if I'm not mistaken, have appeared on Capitol or post-Capitol Sinatra albums). There's also yet another classic version of "The Lady is a Tramp" (my personal favorites being the free-flying, wild knocked-out, koo-koo, groovy version from 1974's THE MAIN EVENT, followed by Sinatra's duet with Ella on the SINATRA + ELLA + JOBIM video) as well as a gorgeous rendition of "Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered," one of my all-time favorite tunes by any composer.

Disc six fizzles, featuring lesser tunes from 60s-era films and gin-soaked Rat Pack interpretations.

One problem with this collection is that many of the tunes are duets or collaborations with lesser talents (Shirley McLaine's perfomance of "Let's Do It" is almost unbearably bad). Other tunes are instrumental while others still are unfinished outtakes (After a beautiful beginning, a most promising 1955 version of Rodgers & Hammerstein's epic "Soliloquy" has no vocals after the first few verses. About five minutes later, Frank returns to the mike and handles the last verse or two). These rarities are interesting, but they don't exactly provide the prolonged ecstasy one would experience with a classic concept album.

Finally, the collection does include several entertaining promotional spots, interviews and award presentations. Sinatra always did have a way with words.

Bottom line: There are a whole bunch of Frank Sinatra Boxed sets on the market these days. If you're gonna plunk down this kind of bread, make sure you buy the one you really want.

Description of Sinatra in Hollywood 1940-1964

Contains 6 CDs with cinematic performances, promos and interviews 'The Voice' sang in nearly 50 different films, newsreels and radio/TV spots released by Paramount, RKO, MGM, Columbia, Hearst, Warner Bros., Universal, United Artists, UA/Capitol and Goldwyn from 1940 to 1964. Virtually every track available on CD for the first time. Rarities include a 1948 radio interview for MGM's The Kissing Bandit and Take Me Out To The Ballgame and a 1951 promo spot for Universal's Meet Danny Wilson. Packaged in a beautiful fabric-lined 5 1/2 w x 11 5/8 h x 1 7/8 box, contains a 120 page perfect bound deluxe book with a preface by Leonard Matlin, and liner notes by Sinatra historians and musician Michael Feinstein. Features reproductions of film stills, behind-the-scenes photos, movie posters and other memorabilia. 2002.
It's hard to imagine any facet of Sinatra's career that hasn't already been explored ad infinitum, but that's just what Rhino has done in this massive, six-disc retrospective that chronicles the Chairman's long association with Hollywood. While most are aware of Sinatra's earning his Tinseltown credibility via From Here to Eternity and The Man with the Golden Arm, his career in films stretched all the way back to 1941's prescient Las Vegas Story.

This is quite literally a treasure trove for Sinatra fans. Fully 90 percent of the 160 songs, interviews, and promotional pieces included have never been commercially available before. It is, in a sense, the history of a parallel Sinatra universe, often sharply different--especially after he became a bona fide box office attraction--from the recording career it accompanied. While much of the early material displays the easygoing crooner-teen heartthrob who can often seem like yet another totally different Sinatra persona, the vibrant swing of WWII clearly begins to push him to greater heights. From precious, fly-on-the-wall moments (Sinatra, Dean Martin, and Bing Crosby goofing their way through a Robin and the 7 Hoods tracking session) to Frank hammering Broadway fare into his own likeness (Guys and Dolls, Carousel, On the Town, Finian's Rainbow) and the swinging heights of Pal Joey and The Joker Is Wild, this set offers a remarkably complete chronology of a crucial facet of the singer's legendary accomplishments. Insightful liner notes written by Leonard Maltin, Michael Feinstein, Will Friedwald, Didier C. Deutsch, Scott Nollen, and anthology producer Charles Granata help to focus the set's sprawling scope. -Jerry McCulley
