Sinatra At the Movies

- Sinatra At the Movies
Is it me or do we seem to be purchasing the same songs/albums with different covers over and over and over? This is nuts! This title along with "Nothing But The Best" continues the constant reissuing of songs found on dozens of other compilations. All we seem to be doing is buy different artwork. Enough already!

- Nice, but what's the point?
20 songs recorded by Frank Sinatra during his peak '50s years, which he performed in his movies.How could you go wrong?Well, for starters, these aren't the same recordings that you'll hear in his films.To find the original film versions, check out the "Sinatra In Hollywood" box set that came out a few years ago.These are simply the same studio recordings that have turned up on many a reissue over the years (including one CD from the early '90s that was also called "Sinatra At The Movies!").

This collection isn't really for newbies who are just getting into Frank, because a lot of these tracks ("Johnny Concho Theme," "From Here To Eternity"), while beautifully sung, simply aren't great songs.But if you're already a fan and you've got even one or two Sinatra CDs in your collection, then you probably already own at least half the material here.

So, in the end, this CD won't really satisfy anyone except those die-hard collectors who have to have everything.
