Frank Sinatra - The Early Years Collection
 (Buy Full Screen)
A box set containing 5 of Frank Sinatra's early films, including Double Dynamite, It Happened in Brooklyn, Step Lively, Higher and Higher and The Kissing Bandit. In It Happened in Brooklyn, Danny has been in the army for 4 years, yet all he thinks about is Brooklyn and how great it is. When he returns after the war, he soon finds that Brooklyn is not so nice after all. He is able to share a place with Nick, the janitor of his old High School, and get a job as a singer in a music store. He also meets Leo, a talented pianist and his teacher Anne, whose dream is to singing Opera. When Jamie arrives from England, Danny tries to show him the Brooklyn experience and help him compose modern swing music. Together, these four also try to help Leo get the Brooklyn Music scholarship. In Double Dynamite, an innocent bank teller, suspected of embezzlement, is aided by an eccentric, wisecracking waiter. In The Kissing Bandit, Ricardo, the milquetoast son of a Mexican bandit, would rather lead a quiet life in Boston. But the family would rather that he follow in his father's footsteps and become "The Kissing Bandit". In Step Lively, Gordon Miller is rehearsing a musical comedy in the penthouse suite of Gribble's hotel...on credit. The mounting bill is driving Gribble frantic. Chaos increases when playwright Glen Russell, whose dramatic play he thinks Miller is producing, arrives. But it turns out Russell can sing like Sinatra, and Miller has leading lady Christine turn on the charm. Can Miller's crazed machinations save the show? In Higher and Higher, Formerly rich Mr. Drake is broke...with his household staff's wages seven months in arrears. Conniving valet Mike O'Brien hatches a scheme to pass off scullery maid Millie as Drake's debutante daughter and net a rich husband for the benefit of all. But all kinds of complications, romantic and otherwise, intervene.  Details: Color, Academy, 1.33:1 Supplements: Includes:, It Happened in Brooklyn (1947), B&W, 103 min., Step Lively (1944) , B&W, 88 min., The Kissing Bandit (1948), Color, 100 min., Double Dynamite (1951), B&W, 80 min., Higher and Higher (1943), B&W, 90 min.
