young frank sinatra can, like... get it

Honestly, the things I do for Francis Albert Sinatra.

Lets not lie, i only watched this to see young frankie🥺

The best way to be a dramatic playright is through musical comedy!

It's more than a little stupid, but it's based on a Marx Brothers movie so that's not really by accident. It's pretty funny though. I demand somebody colorize this so we can see Sinatra's innocent blue eyes the way they were meant to be!

It’s fun to watch young Frank, but most everything else about this movie is pretty meh.

An average musical comedy but plenty of Frank so who cares?

Film 21 of the April 2018 Scavenger Hunt
Task 27: A film that fewer than five of your Letterboxd friends have seen.

Frank's cheekbones, his hair, his face! He's so gorgeous I can't take it! 😍😭 His acting is so over the top here, it's not great but so very adorable. It's so great that he was able to stunt on everyone and win an Oscar ten years after this... I'm not crying, you are. I love the Frank Sinatra movies where they just transplanted him onto his character instead of making an actual different person for him to play, in this one they called his character "the Voice"!

If it wasn't for Sinatra this film would be unwatchable.

A formulaic and at times tedious musical with the conniving, loud producers doing whatever it takes to get his musical open.

Good: Sinatra sings between all the nonsense and his singing is divine.
Bad: So much yelling and running around, it makes me tense.
Meh: George Murphy is insufferable here.

This one I could get into a little more thanks to the film being filled with spazzes running all over the place between the songs. It had the madcap energy and one-liners that made films like this fun for me. I can see how it could also have worked for the Marx Brothers when they made it.

Another excellent Frank Sinatra musical

Sinatra weekend binge - Movie #1

I’m pretty bored so I’m gonna try and watch 10 Frank Sinatra films this weekend

Not much in terms of filmmaking here but it had its moments. Acting was alright, some good comedic scenes but pretty bland overall. The standouts of this film were Frank Sinatra’s songs & the final stage performance.

It’s fun to watch young Frank, but most everything else about this movie is pretty meh.

This is a musical rehash of the Marx Brothers movie Room Service...primally it’s to showcase an extra lean young blue eyed Frank Sinatra who gets to sing half dozen Styne & Cahn pleasant songs...which I like As Long as There’s Music...there is some screwball zaniness with George Murphy the strapped musical show/producer who is trying to stave off a hotel eviction from his brother-in-law the hotel manager Walter Slezak and the owner Adolphe Menjou...Eugene Pallette as the musical shows backer...and the lovely Gloria De Haven as Murphy’s girlfriend, who gets to swoon over Sinatra along with the lovely Anne Jeffreys.

Young Frank Sinatra's stock is rising in Hollywood, but not the material he's getting. This was a less interesting musical remake of Marx Brothers Room Service (1938), which became more tiresome than funny. At least Sinatra smoothed the mood with his songs.

An average musical comedy but plenty of Frank so who cares?

the tagline is right. it IS fun.
dumb but fun.

frank sinatra looks great in this and isn't horrible but just seems out of place

Sinatra's crooning and cool really don't fit in with the madcap antics of the rest of the cast...maybe star vehicles were a mistake

the guy who did the lighting for this film is a blessing, he lit sinatra so well. it's fast-paced and funny and has really good music and is again lovely to look at and the characters are all wonderful (my favorite is played by george murphy who later became one of the first celebrities to go into politics and paved the way for our present situation which is kinda not cool but he's got a fun character so make of that what you will). sinatra gets so many good numbers and the ending scene is absolutely gorgeous.

Watched on Filmstruck.

I went into this film only for Sinatra's singing, so I didn't expect to enjoy the "story" of this film, but I did. I think it helps that it's a rewrite of the Marx Brother's film "Room Service."
