This book had numerous full page photos and showed Sinatra throughout his film career - either in scenes from the film or behind the scenes photos at the film sets. The book included essays from Sinatras three children and quotes (in large type) regarding the particular film the photo displayed. These quotes were either from someone in the film or the director or a critics review of the film. The captions for the photos could have been larger. I went through the entire book in an evening and it was most enjoyable. There are some excellent photos in it.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful.
