It’s true what the guy interrupts to say in the middle of it. Dean is who you watch. 

This is short; there’s over a minute of credits at the end. 

I can’t wait to have more time with this blog than to just slap reblogs on it, but in the meantime, I think men are wonderful.

See more rare photos of Sinatra here.

Cool! Check it. Stan Cornyn, Liner Note Craftsman Extraordinaire and all-around Interesting Individual, in the CBS studio with Frank Sinatra.

It is possible that I am slightly inebriated. Maybe I didn’t eat well today. Anyway. This song, right? And so, really. 

Oh, don’t believe me about Peggy Lee? Watch this, possibly my favorite YouTube video of all. 

And then watch this, too, with Dean Martin. She’s so amazing he actually looks like he’s paying attention some of the time, which, if you know anything about how he performed his shows…

I was looking at the Frank Sinatra tag a short time ago and saw this photo. It struck me hard, how Italian it was. At least, Italian-American. Completely. But when I went back to look for it to reblog, I couldn’t find it. So I Googled “Frank Sinatra eating a sandwich” and found it at Life.com. My favorite website, really. Anyway. Molto Italiano. Hard to explain, maybe. But kind of awesome, to the aging 3rd generation.

Click on the pic for the source, and for more men eating sandwiches.

This looks like something from a Marriage on the Rocks set. If so, or even if not, okay. That movie came out in 1965, like me. Better direction and it would have been fantastic. Instead, it’s unevenly paced and sometimes just awkward. But every Martin & Sinatra fan should watch it at least once. Deborah Kerr is gorgeous in it. Nancy Sinatra is in it, as well.

Good shoes are what I like.

Beautiful, baby.
