Sinatra: All Or Nothing At All

With December 12, 2015 representing the 100th anniversary of Frank Sinatra's birth, this TV documentary looks back on an unsurpassed performer. This is regarded as the definitive account of the life, music, and career of Frank Sinatra. Sinatra: All Or Nothing At All features clips from many Sinatra classics including “My Way,” “I've Got You Under My Skin,” “Fly Me To The Moon,” “All Or Nothing At All,” “The Lady Is A Tramp,” “Nancy (With The Laughing Face),” “That's Life,” “Luck Be A Lady Tonight,” “New York, New York,” “(Love Is) The Tender Trap,” “Love And Marriage,” “Night And Day,” “Stardust,” “Young At Heart,” “Angel Eyes,” and many more. Told in his own words through extensive archive interviews, along with commentary from those closest to him, the film weaves the music and images from Sinatra's life together with rarely seen footage of Sinatra's famous 1971 “Retirement Concert” in Los Angeles. The film's narrative is shaped by Sinatra's song choices for that concert, which Director Alex Gibney interprets as the singer's personal guide through his own life. This is an intimate portrait of the singer, the actor, and the man. Focusing on Sinatra's first 60 years—beginning with his birth in Hoboken, New Jersey and meteoric rise in his 20s—and drawing on comments from friends and family, as well as never-before-seen footage from home movies and concert performances, this unprecedented tribute to the beloved showman follows Sinatra's growth from roadhouse performer to global singing sensation.
