1.0 out of 5 stars From the "original broadcast tape," my foot., December 16, 2004

This review is from: The Frank Sinatra Show with Ella Fitzgerald (DVD)

Five stars for the show itself--Sinatra & Fitzgerald are great, even Peter Lawford's tolerable, and it's amazing that they pulled this thing together in a short time after getting rained out. But don't believe for a second that this was remastered from the original tape, or even remastered. Instead, it was taken from a somewhat dirty kinescope, transferred to what looks like a beat-up 3/4" cassette master. Which is all the more tragic since the original 2" tape master exists, a rarity in this period (see "Sinatra Duets" for clips from the show in this format, looking and sounding great. So for the non-technically minded, in a nutshell: you'll enjoy the content, but the box copy is basically a lie.

5.0 out of 5 stars And we thought snow in Palm Springs NOW was rare, January 27, 2007

This is a great DVD. It shows the momentum and hilarity of an odd-ball snow storm in the Palm Springs Desert during a live Frank Sinatra show. The players all go-with-it... which makes it even more amusing to watch. Ella is just dynamite. She is the fire going off in the snow storm.

4.0 out of 5 stars Ella is perfect and the show is an interesting slice of 50's TV life, July 2, 2007

This review is from: The Frank Sinatra Show with Ella Fitzgerald (DVD)

Ella is technically and artistically perfect in "There's a Lull in My Life." She makes a difficult and brilliant execution look easy. I must have replayed it 20 times! Ol Blue Eyes is his old charming self and poignantly sings Rainy Day. The Timex commercials are interesting and fun to watch, which describes the rest of the show as well, albeit there are no other jaw-dropping performances besides There's a Lull..."
