Frank Sinatra stars as John O'Hara's caddish crooner in this 1957 film version of the O'Hara/Rodgers and Hart musical, Pal Joey. A fresh - very fresh - arrival on the San Francisco nightclub scene, the amoral and ambitious Joey soon finds himself entangled with two "mics": the rapacious stripper-turned-society dame Vera (Rita Hayworth) and the good-girl chorine Linda (Kim Novak). Handsomely directed by George Sidney, the film features a double handful of Rodgers and Hart's greatest tunes, including "Zip," "My Funny Valentine," "The Lady Is a Tramp," and "I Could Write a Book."

Year: 1957
