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.

Format: DVD
After the first several minutes I was prepared to call off the show--the audio is, at best, "limited" and the clarity of the video is, frankly, quite wretched. But soon none of these mere technicalities mattered in comparison to the experience of reliving a "live" event. Many serious collectors would agree that the century's most distinguished musical pairing of Sinatra and Riddle never sounded better together (for evidence, simply pick up any of 20 or more of their Capitol "Concept Albums" from the 1950s), and the addition of the Hi Los plus the First Lady of Song (she starts out with Harold Arlen's "There's a Lull in My Life" and later puts on a demonstration of scat singing at its best) ensures that, out of the hundreds of thousands of hours of television programming, this is one of the few that might be considered essential. Sinatra himself swings up a storm (backed by a jazz combo led by Red Norvo) and matches Ella's Arlen ballad with a richly nuanced reading of Van Heusen's classic ballad "Here's That Rainy Day." But the highlight is without a doubt Frank and Ella dueting on "Can't We Be Friends" (with Ella impersonating Pearl Bailey, Dinah Washington, and Della Reese).

It's practically taken as a "given" that television was not Sinatra's medium--he just didn't have the "comfortable" look of Bing or Perry or the ability to wear a fuzzy wool cardigan But Sinatra's "edginess," while proving too big for the small screen, worked well on these Timex specials, bringing significance to the hour. And the producers of the show have to be given high marks for their creative use of "space"--employing the full depth as well as width of the stage while getting even Hermione Gingold (along with Juliette Prowse) in on the dancing.
