SINATRA! December 12th would have marked Frank Sinatras 99th birthday. Chuck Walters was not only a friend of Ol Blue Eyes but also directed him twice, first in THE TENDER TRAP (1955) and then HIGH SOCIETY (1956). Reportedly, Walters got the second job because Sinatra told the producer, For my money, the only guy to direct this is picture is Chuck Walters. Forever loyal to his pals. (Incidentally both of these Walters-Sinatra movies will be shown this Friday night for TCMs Friday Night Spotlight.) Enjoy him singing Cole Porters Youre Sensational to a beguiled Grace Kelly in HIGH SOCIETY. A perfect tonic for todays winter weather. https://youtube/watch?v=Z14r-Twaswk
