Biography Book

What is the best biography/book about Frank Sinatra? What are his best movies? It’s a gift. Need advice. ?

Good and true book that tells his story well. Also, your favorite movies with him in them ole blue eyes This is a gift for someone. Thanks!

If you are getting this as a gift, I would suggest you get The Sinatra Treasures: Intimate Photos, Mementos, and Music from the Sinatra Family Collection by Charles Pignone. It’s very interesting and quite unique – I was given a copy a couple of years ago as a present, myself. Check Amazon http://www.amazon.com/Sinatra-Treasures-Intimate-Mementos-Collection/dp/0821228374/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1229758237&sr=1-4 for a description of the book. Any fan would love it, I believe.

MOVIES (IMDB has the entire list at http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000069/ ):

Lighter (these are my favorites)-
-Young at Heart (with Doris Day & Gig Young) – this one isn’t all light
-The Tender Trap (with Debbie Reynolds)
-Pal Joey (with Rita Hayworth and Kim Novak)
-A Hole in the Head (with Edward G. Robinson)
-High Society (with Bing Crosby & Grace Kelly)
-Come Blow Your Horn (with Lee J. Cobb)

Deeper -
-The Manchurian Candidate (with Angela Lansbury & Laurence Harvey)
-The Joker is Wild (with Jeanne Crain; Frank Sinatra played Joe E. Lewis)

Detective (rather dated, but interesting) -
-Tony Rome
-The Detective
-Lady in Cement

With Gene Kelly -
-On the Town
-Anchors Aweigh
-Take Me Out to the Ball Game

The List of Adrian Messenger was another good one, though Kirk Douglas was the main character and Frank Sinatra was often disguised.

Amazon http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_gw?url=search-alias%3Ddvd&field-keywords=frank+sinatra&x=0&y=0 has some of the movies available to purchase.

BTW: If the person to whom you will be giving this likes to cook, The Sinatra Celebrity Cookbook: Barbara, Frank & Friends by Barbara and Frank Sinatra might be interesting. http://www.amazon.com/Sinatra-Celebrity-Cookbook-Barbara-Friends/dp/0964675609/ref=wl_it_dp?ie=UTF8&coliid=I1S47G62DEBCAD&colid=1LONY1WFJ78LD

His daughter, Tina, also wrote a memoir. It’s called My Father’s Daughter: A Memoir. See http://www.amazon.com/My-Fathers-Daughter-Tina-Sinatra/dp/B000066TPX/ref=pd_sim_b_3

I hope this helps.
