Aside from the language and sexual references, this was an interesting look at history with some very good performances. I especially loved seeing Don Cheadle as Sammy Davis, Jr. - you can tell he put everything he had into it.
I'm with you Schone 23666 I'm sure they're all together also singing and drinking their way across the Universe. A most fabulous period in my life, The Frank Sinatra/Dean Martin/Sammy Davis years, never see the likes of these gys ever again. Thanks Priscilla for uploading and anyone else who is involved in this magical upload, in my files for my lifetime. Sleep warm Priscilla, and you Frank, Dean & Sammy. Thanks for the memories Clive
I feel so sorry for Peter because like he said he was a Actor not a Messeger Boy. And through out this whole time he was treated like Pawn for both Frank and the Kennedys. To were when like Dean said ties will be severed. That when Frank had do realized he could not be friends with both the Mob and Jack. That he played shoot the messenger with Peter lawford, and Black Balled him from Hollywood. To were he spent the rest of his life despair and died from substance abusive. I feel if anybody who got the bad end of the deal of all the Kennedy and Mob drama it was him. I hope he has found peace in the hear After.
All good things must face the inevitable. That said, I like to think the Rat Pack isn't dead. Right now, they're all together again, up in the heavens, still entertaining the millions. At least, I'm gonna hold on to that thought.
Hello, jaundist, actually I know a brilliant, lovely & very talented Triple Threat who worked with Mr. Davis in two films before my birth. She has assured me on more than a couple occasions during her fascinating industry reminiscing that Sammy Davis Jr. was wonderfully respectful, extremely hard-working, humble & a pleasure to engage & work with, also that he & Mr. Sinatra were very close friends, actual FRIENDS. She is a trustworthy older woman, w/nothing to be gained from lying. Therefore...
@pegcage I dont think looks should count too much in casting. There are some very good doppelgängers out there but not all of them can act. If you take Aries Spears for example, he looks nothing like Eddie Murphy but he has his mannerisms & speech down to a T! His imitation of Eddie is incredible. If you look it up on youtube, you can see it. I agree with you though on Dean Martin & Sammy Davis' actors. They were awesome! Especially the tap dancing scenes!
Just B4 4:20 the pianist's right hand is way low on the keyboard whilst the soundtrack is way high. The acting profession and the small & Big screens specialise in phonieness.
I own this movie on both VHS and DVD.... I have watched it many times .... it is mostly great entertainment .... but, it is also pretty close to historical..... Frank Sinatra WAS an A**HOLE .... a control freak and a "spoiled brat"..... in the last part on here.... he basically shot the messenger..... it WAS "HIS WAY" of doing things..... Oh - AND the Kennedys were ALL a bunch of "carpet-bagging" opportunists.... &.... I have done a lot of research on this subject....
@shillabarquet i think he was more ray liota and less frank sinatra in the movie it is shown that big brother kennedy never contradicted or argued his li'l brothers decision against organized crime
Independent prostitution is simply a consensual JOB, Sinatra would have been a fool to force the women who worked out of his casino parties considering his vulnerability due to the level of fame he sought after & enjoyed. Good business relationships can endure. I believe this to be a fantastic emotional, educational and entertaining story & I feel priviliged to have access to it to screen again at will. Many thanks to the uploader (shillabarquet) for doing the work & sharing with all of us. : )
A good film. However, there was some gross miscasting. Dean Martin and Peter Lawford were believable, and Sammy Davis was good casting. But Frank Sinatra, well, the guy who played him did not remotely resemble him or have his personality.
I believe the Kenndy's all in due time met their death by the hands of the mob ,although I it was reported that someone else did it or accidents noooooo way baby!you dont ask everybody to kiss your a** and no one apply. So in the end no one got what they really wanted only what they created. You reep what you sow !! I enjoyed learning the history sadd though a lot of pain.
what the hell happen back then.....i mean i luv all the these guys.....the Ratpack and the Kennedys.....wat happen? like everything else N America....there is a part missing....my GOD where was i born?
one for my baby and one more for the road...hell of a song...
Seriously what a tale all the people involved so many iconic figures what a time.
TY so much for sharing as I had missed this very accurate portrayal and extremely well-performed movie!
Aside from the language and sexual references, this was an interesting look at history with some very good performances. I especially loved seeing Don Cheadle as Sammy Davis, Jr. - you can tell he put everything he had into it.
Very good movie, thank you.
Don Cheadle was a fabulous Sammy Davis Jr. He looks a lot like Sammy.
Not to sound racist, but darker when comparing images of both.
I'm with you Schone 23666 I'm sure they're all together also singing and drinking their way across the Universe.

Peter Lawford should have stood for Frank Sinatra and he did not.
Great movie actually.. I liked it alot.

Sad but powerful song.
GREAT UPLOAD!!!!!! THANK YOU SOOO OOOOO MUCH!!!

Thanks..

@shillabarquet i think he was more ray liota and less frank sinatra
Where can I find this version? Can't find the soundtrack. That's Jr. isn't it? Someone help a fan out 😁
Yea ur welcome.. I think Ray Liotta did a good impersonification of Frank Sinatra
@BodhiTaiChi
Thank YOU!!! : )

talk about a meltdown
I don't blame frank really
When the Kennedys did not need Frank Sinatra, they tossed him aside.
I recommend reading "My life with Mr. S" by George Jacobs. You will be enlightened as to how John Kennedy spoke in private.
who sang this version of one for my baby?
Sinatra
MY QUESTION EXACTLY.
Joey bishop 2007
Sick bunch.
So who did Liotta's vocals in the movie?
I know a lot of people didn't like this movie. And it isn't the most accurate. But I personally loved it
I have no idea but when I'll find out I'll let you know.
I own this movie on both VHS and DVD.... I have watched it many times .... it is mostly great entertainment .... but, it is also pretty close to historical.....
