You're right, it's a classic. Bookended by Louie Armstrong's "end of song, beginning of story-eee" “what an elegant, swellegant party this is…”

I read somewhere that Sinatra really wanted the role of Sky Masterson. Talking of duos, High Society is one of my favourite Sinatra musicals, mainly for the duet with Bing: "Well did you evah..." and so on. But you were right to focus on drama . Strangely, though, no mention of The Cannonball Run 2. That’s true, fantastic stuff. I read somewhere that Sinatra really wanted the role of Sky Masterson.

The Tungate household are big fans of Frank on film, particularly The Detective and the two Tony Rome movies - private eye outings much lighter than the above gems, but good vehicles for Sinatra's martini-supping Rat Pack persona.
