Frank Sinatra: The Main Event Trailers

Charged with the electricity of a heavyweight prizefight, " The Main Event " was filmed live at Madison Square Garden, a venue usually reserved for sporting events and rock 'n' roll concerts. Sinatrra dazzies the crowd with contemporay numbers as " You are the Sunshine of My Life ", " Let Me Try Again " and delivers the knockout blow with signature tunes " My Kind of Town " and " My Way ".

n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Frank Sinatra filled the most famous indoor sports arena in the world Madison Square Garden for this concert. A quick look around during audience shots you'll see many a celebrity. The event is introduced by a man more known for sports than entertainment Howard Cosell.The current Madison Square Garden is either the fourth or fifth arena to use that name. A few months earlier the first entertainers to open the place were Bing Crosby and Bob Hope. Like them Frank Sinatra sold the place out.The vocal highlight for me of all the songs he sang was Angel Eyes. He recorded it for Capitol records in the 50s and it's usually was included in his live concerts. He puts a lot into this version.I have to say that I was amused by the fact that Buddy Rich was in the audience. These two had a rough history going all the way back to the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra. Never though I'd see him at a Sinatra event.Frank's usual standard of vocal excellence is met.

surprised to see only one previous comment on this spectacular show Frank at his brilliant best including all the big hits. Got this on video called My Way It has three parts a 60s special,The Main Event and a Japanese gig from the 80s all great.To think i used to regard Sinatra as some old geezer(he was 54 at the time) Now you see the likes of Paul McCartney,elton,roger daltrey,mick jagger etc still going strong in their 60s it makes you appreciate how good this man was.That fabulous voice! Look out for this tape,3 great shows from one of the worlds greatest performers Just put your feet up and enjoy,and it only cost me a fiver!
