Instead, he starred in a run of middling movies that only really made waves because of his name attached.

I’d exempt “The Manchurian Candidate” from that characterization.

Sinatra made several pictures in the late 60s early 70s that were not particularly very good. The one that stands out to me was one he did about 1970 or so called Dirty Dingus McGee. It was absolutely horrible..

The writer is not at all talented. The Mamas and Papas were The Mamas and the Papas. The stories ranged from not rang from. And misspelling famaous. I’m not an editor and I think that would be the only good reason to bother with the article.

Did Frank mess with some Mexican officials wife?

Andeerson Cooper’s mother was Gloria Vanderbilt. She had an affair with Frank Sinatra, thought he was great, but he couldn’t stay with any woman more than two weeks.

This was written in the very interesting book by Cooper, “The Rainbow Comes and Goes.” Anderson’’s younger brother came rusing into their 18th floor condo inn NYC and jumped off right in front of his mother. Friend who knew her said she cried every day for more than two years.

Mexico was jealous because of his hit Chicago. Instead of singing “Each time I roam, Chicago is calling me home,” if he had just sang “Each time I roam, Nezahualcóyotl is calling me home,” everything would have been fine.

“”””Mexico was the butt of the joke all the way through the film. The depiction of the country is less than kind as one where morals are loose, the people are uneducated and marriage means nothing.””””

When America knew the real Mexico, before the colonization of America started and before the media and politicians started creating a mythological Mexico as the bastion of Christian faith and conservative family values and the home of hard working, highly skilled people living largely crime free.

“higher-ups in the Mexican government weren’t happy.”

The cartels are oddly sensitive at times.

Mexico could have cited his mafia connections for why he was persona non grata there.
