Helpful Score: 1
A pretty fair summary of the complex and capricious Frank Sinatra by columnist Earl Wilson, whose acquaintance with Sinatra spanned decades. Sinatra's huge talent, fatal charm with ladies, and legendary generosity contrast with Sinatra the uneducated Jersey boy driven to succeed in show business, at war with the press, who could be vulgar, crude and even violent. A fascinating peek behind the cool debonair image of one of the greatest song stylists of all time.
