Bravo! So many of this new breed of actors “mumble” or fail to enunciate their words. Sloppy acting. Sinatra was from Hoboken, NY & realized he needed to take elocution classes to enable his audience to understand the beautiful words of the lyricists of that era such as Gershwin, Porter et al.
This was the same year that Sinatra was the producer and star of one of the best films of the 60s, "The Manchurian Candidate". The only nominee from that film was Angela Lansbury for Best Supporting Actress; while she didn't win that award, she was honored this year with an Oscar for Life Achievement encompassing her entire career.
Professor Time...not only films today...which are horrendous...but also music...there is nothing left of the quality of past times....a cultural wasteland.
Well there is some great films that are being made today... You missing out. Not all films nowadays suck, try films like this : Enemy, Nightcrawler, Joker, There will be Blood, The Dark Knight Trilogy, Arrival,Blade Runner 2049, LA LA Land, Whiplash, Parasite, Silence, 1917, Hakksaw Ridge, The Portrait of Lady In The Fire, The Master, Call me by your Name, Moonlight, Drive, Sicario, Dallas Buyers Club, The Artist, Wind River and etc... Just to name the few, this is some movies that are worth your while that came out in recent years or last year.
Amazing to think this was 1963. The old studio system was beginning to creak. Sinatra got his wish in the 1970s, with the so-called Second Golden Age of Hollywood, but I wonder if it came in the form he was expecting - Coppola, Scorsese, Spielberg, Altman, Pakula, Ashby et al.
Micky Finn , I'm sure he didn't, because he knew he couldn't anticipate the times to come or the variety and uniqueness of individual talent. And you're right, there was that flowering, until 1977, when "Star Wars" changed filmmaking forever, almost entirely for the worse.
@@bobtaylor170 Too right. I remember seeing Star Wars as a kid and being baffled about what all the fuss was about. I never could have guessed that zap/explosion/boom was going to be the future of movies though.
He knew what he was talking about. That is one reason why "indies" are often more successful than the huge productions! And it got even worse after he was gone, until today's movies are not even worth our time, much less our money!
Yeah Frank is right..That is why Universal was Seagrams, Vivendi, Purchases Seagrams,,Sony owns Columbia, Viacom purchased Paramount, Yeah you get the picture...Big Business owns Films.
& Gulf Western purchased Paramount decades before Viacom... I use to live on Bronson Ave 'decades ago' 3 blocks from Paramount & Desilu, etc... which use to be RKO before All the big boys on the monopoly board began buying out all these Studios & Recoding Companies etc etc...
. . today, Sinatra would take a swing at entertainment corporations disguised as film studios, cranking out gigantic cash registers disguised as motion pictures.
Wow. Do you believe that it took 3 years after this for them to put the oscars in color. They should colorize this. It would be so awesome to see Frank's first hosted oscar in color.
It reminds me of a photo i saw once where a farmer proudly put up a sign saying "this farmer is not on government assistance" during the great depression.
"On government relief" said the sign. The farmer himself was not in the photo. If he was farming only for himself and his family, he would not qualify. Or he may have disagreed with the government and refused its help and boasted about it. Frank, himself, was famously an admirer of Franklin D. Roosevelt, inventor of the New Deal and its slew of government welfare programs. Frank named his son not for himself, but for FDR.
This is extraordinary, Frankie S Laying down the truth. The scary thing is that what he was rallying against back in 1963 has now become the norm. Mona lisa films are rare, more often than not films are produced by people who care nothing for art or expression. Their cold hearts care only for $$$$$$$$
Ok eloquently said However the greatest interpreter of American popular song, would show up on the set around noon, and start tearing pages out of the script, earning him the nickname "one take charlie".
He was (and is) absolutely right. Let the directors, actors, writers etc; do 'their' thing and not be controlled by the money people (banks, investors etc;) What destroyed the auto industry (at least partially) was the corporate interests taking control of the industry from the designers on the 1970's
Yes,and I don't think Frank had a lot of diction training other than his singing! Unfortunately film producers and directors go more for "naturalness" than good diction You can use an accent but still speak clearly for the audiences ' sake.But I spend half the time running the movie back to try and catch what the actors are saying, or put in the closed caption which is a distraction. The other maddening thing going on these days us the "under voice"-speaking in a rough whisper -for dramatic effect I suppose,but people generally don't talk this way unless not wanting to be heard.Drives me crazy . Also the sudden increase in sound volume when a scary or dramatic part comes on I spend so much time riding the volume button on my remote,and it disturbed my companion in the other room when it happens suddenly Ridiculous! D C.
There’s always going to be good movies and there’s always going to be bad. People who are complaining about only bad movies existing today clearly do not put in the time and effort to watch the good ones.
the complaint is: awful movies claimed as masterpiece and winning oscars because its box office or its production was a zillion dollars, zillion dollars promoted by the industry
He doesn't seem angry to me. A bit narked but nothing untoward. And, in my opinion, his singing during his peak era (50s/early 60s) exists outside of any kind of mood he might've had. He nailed the essence of every lyric and melody he turned his attention to.

Look at him you new actors- that’s how you talk. The diction, the enunciation, the vocabulary, the persona and the the charisma!!

Using words like "obliquely" though; so pretentious!!
(I'm just kidding)
that's literally how everyone talks back then dumbass.
Funny, we live in a world where we call "dumbass" a person we dont even know for no reason.

"We need to get out of the Real estate business and back into the Mona Lisa business". That is a classic quote if I ever heard one.
That wasnt even what he said but okay

RIP Frank Sinatra (December 12, 1915 - May 14, 1998), aged 82
You will always be remembered as a legend.
he was meanie weenie to those under him tho
Amen Frank. His words directly apply to today's film industry.
Really, the entertainment industry as a whole.
Will Jacobs considering Franks involvement with mob unions and overpaid union workers..a bit hypocritical!
JSOMERSET994 JSOMERSET994:. I think you need a little more information, you're off base.
I wish people still sounded like this. I lovvveeeee his vooiiccee
People don't speak like that today. Actors no longer act, they just mumble something.
A lot of his voice was the smoking.
⬆️🙄(comments above)...His voice is strong., euphonious and definitive ...RIP Frank, we miss you!
Some of us do still, in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut
He had perfect diction
His speaking voice was also beautiful.
What are you talking about? He spoke like a mutant. Further evidence he was born to sing.
There will never be another like him. Rest in peace Frank Sinatra
Turns out Frank was ahead of his time!
Or rather, there’s nothing new under the Sun
@@Autipsy yup

Angela Lansbury probably gave the most powerful Supporting Actress performance. She was 🎉m.esmerizing
I'm sure Frank is turning over in his grave with movies today.
Hell, I'm turning over in my grave with movies today and I'm not even dead!
DA MAN...FUCKIN' PERIOD.

This resonates more now than ever
Right now woke and diversity are more important than talent.
such a pleasant pleasant voice
I’m only 26…I’m so thankful my father exposed me to this man and ACJ. Easily the most stoic and just beautiful art I’ve heard.
This only continues my heartfelt respect for the Chairman Of The Board!!!!
Always so honest . We need you back frank !
He knew what he was talking about. That is one reason why "indies" are often more successful than the huge productions! And it got even worse after he was gone, until today's movies are not even worth our time, much less our money!
Right especially with remakes and Disney buying up everything
Yeah Frank is right..That is why Universal was Seagrams, Vivendi, Purchases Seagrams,,Sony owns Columbia, Viacom purchased Paramount, Yeah you get the picture...Big Business owns Films.
& Gulf Western purchased Paramount decades before Viacom... I use to live on Bronson Ave 'decades ago' 3 blocks from Paramount & Desilu, etc... which use to be RKO before All the big boys on the monopoly board began buying out all these Studios & Recoding Companies etc etc...
Frank Sinatra would be appalled by the Acadamy Awards today and the bullshit the actors spew when they get their awards.
I’ll take your advice on board Frank. Thank you!
He really knew what he was talking about
Man that's a genuine level of cool I just plain envy.
John Cassavetes was listening to this speech. Then he turned filmmaking on its head.
. . today, Sinatra would take a swing at entertainment corporations disguised as film studios, cranking out gigantic cash registers disguised as motion pictures.
well said Frank! Beautiful
RUclips finally recommended something good
Too bad you couldn't find it on your own.

In america there are no poor people, only temporarily embarrassed millionaires
If that's true, I've been "temporarily" embarrassed for many decades.
@@karlhungus5554 gee how privileged we are to have a millionaire in the comment section of some obscure frank Sinatra video

Mona lisa films are down under a pile of lazy cgi blockbusters Not love involved, you can clearly see.
Love Frank
Wow frank was talking about things we talk about today.
A legend
The same could be said about the music industry.
Way ahead of his time
He knew it he saw our future
Even if i'm old, I'm gonna die young.
Praise it Sinatra!
That’s why Frank left Capitol Records and made Reprise Records
❤❤❤❤❤Agreed. Absolutely. Very, very Smart Man..
right the fuck on this gave me chills could apply to anything in life that matters I fucking love Frank !timeless
Ask yourself: Would Frank have used such language on a public forum?
The BEST of the best MR. F S

Bring back sinatra, exchange for Xander ford...
There’s no class today absolutely none it’s over my friends
You're a fucking idiot tbh
JFK has no class, people. It’s over.

“Rattpack all day everyday” Young Sinatra!🔥Logic

I bet he had a nice car
Haha, to hell with cars, he had a damn heliport in his back garden!
And all without a teleprompter….
I don't get it whats he complaining?
This has to do with that extremely bloated 20th Century Fox Cleopatra! What a clucking mess that Film was!
Why was Frank Sinatra always that angry? This is not a way to have a singing career.
Cuz u know more than him haha
He doesn't seem angry to me. A bit narked but nothing untoward. And, in my opinion, his singing during his peak era (50s/early 60s) exists outside of any kind of mood he might've had. He nailed the essence of every lyric and melody he turned his attention to.
angry? He is funny as hell when he wants. He is a smart guy who speaks seriously when needed because he was The Man, people would listen to him.
Frank did it his way and you should do it your way.
You tell 'em Frank, that's life!!!!!!! Imagine some actor today speaking so intelligently, & eloquently as this. Yeah, try to imagine it!!!!
