My mother met Sinatra, at the pump room, at the ambassador west hotel, back in the early 80`s, he was very kind, and asked what her name was, ( her name is Liz ) and Sinatra said, well..hello Liz..how are we tonight...!
🥰That’s an awesome memory to have. 🥰😎👍 I wish all of us “average” folks could each get at least one “lucky moment” memory that makes other people jealous for a minute. Thank you 😊
Funny..on a unrelated note, back in 2004, when living in Miami, with my ex, we met James Caan, who was dining out, with a director, and George Hamilton was there too ( talk about opposites..! ) I went up to Caan to say hi.., and he had a nasty look on face ( I thought he was going to punch me in the jaw ) I quickly walked away.. made my way back to our table, and George Hamilton, was there chatting with my ex..! He was laughing, and said..' don't worry about that guy..' Hamilton, spent at least 30 minutes talking to us. What a great guy..! We also met Colin Ferrell, later that year, when they filming the movie..Miami Vice. We were at a bar, I went up to Ferrell, said..Hi..he was super cool, drinking a scotch and smoking a marboro red..he was quite nice..!
Making this movie was a difficult experience. Planned as another Rat Pack movie, Sinatra was snubbed by the Kennedys, so exiled Peter Lawford. He was replaced by Bing Crosby, in his last movie role. During filming, Kennedy was assassinated. Sinatra was so shaken by this, he could barely continue working.
Crosby acted in a couple of TV movies after that: "Swing Out, Sweet Land" (1970), in which he portrayed Mark Twain, and the very interesting villainous role in played in the drama "Dr. Cook's Garden" (1971).
Most people never got the point that this was a satirical reverence to the hightime of Al Capone in Chicago. Just compare the TIMELESS episode about the mobster time with this scene.
Well that was playback and dubbing by Senatra himself of course anyway. But you are right the director´s orders were fullfilled to the point. " SHOW A HAPPY, FUNNY CROWD."
Lest we forget the score for this movie was composed by Jimmy Van Heusen, with lyrics by Sammy Cahn. As a team they also wrote the songs "All The Way", "High Hopes", "Call Me Irresponsible" , "The Tender Trap", "Thoroughly Modern Millie" and many other hits.
He was talking to friends and said - with a slight smile, "why did Crosby have to be born at the same time ?" And Bing said something very similar a while later. Mutual admiration, BIG TIME
@@WAL_DC-6B Sorry to be so dense (and thanks for answering, I really want to know the answer since I sing this song often myself), but Manilow doesn't sound that much different, maybe a tad more toward CAG than COG. And are you saying that Manilow is right or Sinatra is right?
@@gbisaga Frankie's got it right by pronouncing Chicago as Chi-caw-go versus Barry's Chi-cog-oh. "Caw" rhymes with paw as on a cat. Cog rhymes with odd. Hope that helps! Also, listen to some real Chicagoans say the word Chicago in their speeches such as Chicago Mayors Richard M. and Richard J. (the father of Richard M.) Daley or even Nat "King" Cole (grew up in Chicago although he's originally from Montgomery, AL) in his recording of "Route 66."
Frank took it the worst, because he was close friends with JFK, he sobbed for days after finding out. They were estranged in their friendship due to Frank's connections to the mob, so he never got the chance to make up with him.
I think it’s really cool how they had a black police officer in this movie during a time period when racial tension was pretty high. Studs, these guys.
Frank, la pelicula maravillosa, el exfuerzo maximo con tanto actor y movimiento, musica e interpretacion , todo es maravilloso, se reconoce lo bien hecho a lo lejos y rapido.😊
If you're wondering that because of the recent media press I think he would have. He died in the late 90s. Late 80s - 1990s Chicago actually had higher murder/crime rates than today. If he still enjoyed Chicago in his twilight years I think he still would have today.
@@iversongirl On the other hand you miss the point here. ROBO AND THE SEVEN HOODS was a satire on the live of Al Capone. In his hay days the people cheered when he turned up and had seen him as some kind of a hero against the all mighty Government. For the public he also had created an image of a good doer - same as ROBO ( FRANK SENATRA ) here. Just after the Prohibition Age people seen Al Capone as he really was, almost like ROBO at the end of the musical.
Roger Lynch I understand the point of the film. It wasn’t missed. I was only making an adjacent thought - a personal opinion regarding Frank Sinatra, the singer / actor / producer.
Sinatra was spot-on about why one loves cities: it all has to do with the people and their built environment. Motorist sprawl leaves me cold. #AbolishTheMortgage
I only wish I had been around in the 60s. I love the movies from the silver screen. Jimmy Stewart, Bing Crosby, and Bob Hope are my favorite actors from that era.

The environs of Chicago. Not my kinda town but hey! Born in the USA. Provable but Trump and Co still telling fables maybe? My Kinda Lady was the daughter of an American born father. And a mother who lived in Ohio one time. Chicago? One town that won't let you down? Add Missouri/Missoura and I will alleged a Nation of mostly Do Gooders run by Do Badders. You either got or you haven't got stiles. Moving on....
Chicago used to be my hometown. It was strong, beautiful and vibrant. Time to get rid of Lori Lightfoot and get in a proper Mayor. This should be the theme song for Chicago Republicans when it's time to vote her and her cronies out! Let's have pride in our city again!!!

jlasf it was Bing’s last musical role, he had a role in the 1966 version of Stagecoach

The spoof of The Adventures Of Robin Hood & inspiration of Guys And Dolls
That guy on the trombone is having so much fun XD
Tommy Dorsey would of been better tho lol
@@astronulla It's not.
I would act the same if I had the honors to make a song with Frank Sinatra
Well that was playback and dubbing by Senatra himself of course anyway. But you are right the director´s orders were fullfilled to the point. " SHOW A HAPPY, FUNNY CROWD."

'don't know if Armstrong ever played the trombone professionally.

From my observations, if it wasn't a song from Livingston and Evans, it was a song from Cahn and Van Heusen that kept people humming and singing.
This made me cry with joy. We miss you Frank 😭😭😭
that stance of Frank...
Eh a fellow train guy
My Way Frankie
One of the great entertainers. Love his movies and music.
He was talking to friends and said - with a slight smile, "why did Crosby have to be born at the
same time ?"
And Bing said something very similar a while later.
Mutual admiration, BIG TIME
there's a reason he was called "the voice". You can forget anyone today!!!!
✊✊
sadly all the main people in this movie are dead.but the fact that in the chosing of the extras was quite diverse
Frankie and everyone here singing "My Kind of Town" pronounce Chicago the correct way, NOT Chi-"COG"-go, as so many people wrongly pronounce it.
I don't see the difference. It sounds to me like he's saying "Chi-COG-go". How would you pronounce it? "Chi-CAG-go"?
@@gbisaga Listen to Barry Manilow mispronounce the word Chicago here: ruclips.net/video/8azy4YDkpRw/видео.html

@@WAL_DC-6B Thank you for the insights!
Little known fact: Choreographer and Singer Toni Basil ('Oh Mickey') is (@2:14) down front left, in pink. This was her first film
while doing this production of this song frank and everyone learn that JFK was assassinated, obviously everyone was upset.
Wow did not know that
Frank took it the worst, because he was close friends with JFK, he sobbed for days after finding out. They were estranged in their friendship due to Frank's connections to the mob, so he never got the chance to make up with him.
When the music teacher picked you to sing for the play:
I think it’s really cool how they had a black police officer in this movie during a time period when racial tension was pretty high. Studs, these guys.
I ain't never heard no one ever sound like him and that golden voice, closest thing was his son even then....
Can you please rephrase that?
Beautiful scene, gives me goosebumps - largely due to Jimmy van Heusen's tune
He and Sammy cahn made some of the most catchiest songs I’ve heard a classic 1960s movie
Chicago can use a Robbo right now
The world loves a scoundrel!
Imagine this as the intro to a apocalypse movie
Frank, la pelicula maravillosa, el exfuerzo maximo con tanto actor y movimiento, musica e interpretacion , todo es maravilloso, se reconoce lo bien hecho a lo lejos y rapido.😊
I love this song My Kind of Town. 3-8-2021
Homer and Burns brought me here
Frank, una película musical, maravillosa e imaginativa,!! Cómo el mismo.😮
My folks took me to see this movie in 1964. I loved it then, and this is the first time since then I've viewed a clip from it. I love it! Wonderful.
Wonder if he'd feel the same about Chicago today
If you're wondering that because of the recent media press I think he would have. He died in the late 90s. Late 80s - 1990s Chicago actually had higher murder/crime rates than today. If he still enjoyed Chicago in his twilight years I think he still would have today.

1:21 - you can see a 1960s car driving at far-left.
The best of Frank Sinatra!
Have you guys watched them sing the same song on Family Guy? 🥰👍❤️😎
Frank Jr. performed several times on that show.
Watch all three sing "STYLE" from this movie .
Both Martin and Crosby had that little "half note" ...I think Dino borrowed it from Bing."
Wonderful!!
kind of sad im looking at a dead guy that died around 20 years before i was born
@Kostadin Kokofrengo thought he died in the early 90s calm down
This is where the pizza commercial song comes from
I love the outfits 😍
God Bless Turner Classic Movies! This is what I woke up to this evening!
Copy that.
Legend!
I remember going out to see this film when it first came out. Great songs!

Sadly chicago isn't really his kind of town anymore
Bret McKay still pretty corrupt...
what kind? the onje that a currupt criminal sings? yeah still is :D
Chicago & Detroit BOTH destroyed by corrupt Democratic/"Liberal" government.
Len Hummel As a guy who lives in one of those, I can agree.
Always..been Al Capone`s kind of town..

Love this film. Have the album!
This is the second best scene in the movie 🎥
Yep. Very best is Style
Fantastic, never knew it was a song from a movie.
Style +100
Used to like him until i wised up and realised he couldn't even sing
Sounds like Truro Nova Scotia
Star quality all the way
This played on WGN on the New Year’s countdown!
Matt Dusk sounds. a bit like frank
Democratic National convention
Awesome version
Frank Sinatra a good Jersey Boy calling Chicago his kind of town! Back then it was our kind of town it was our people!
Movie is worth it just for this song.....
Xoxoxo
Uy hermoso se parece a Milagro ❤️
Que también 😛🎊
Oh lindo Maestro ⭐🎊
for me the chairman of the board the boss a legend mr class
He was the Elvis before Elvis back in the dsy@
