Pal Joey (DVD, 1999, Closed Captioned; Multiple Languages)

WANTED THIS MOVIE FORA LONG TIME VERY HAPPY WITH DVD AND SELLER I WOULD BUY FROM AGAIN.LEFT GOOD FEEDBACK FOR SELLER.

Frank Sinatra is at his best in this wonderful lounge-esque classic.
Sinatra (Joey) is a down on his luck singer/womanizer looking for a break in San Francisco when he runs into an old acquaintance (Rita Hayworth) from one of his seedier night club gigs.
Hayworth is now a rich widowed socialite and Sinatra's only hope for a club of his own via the route of his charm and promised love.
Kim Novak (Vertigo) plays a lounge singer/dancer who slowly falls for Sinatra and vice-versa, which interferes in Sinatra's plans for his club dreams with Hayworth.

The costumes and dresses are stunning for their era, or any for that matter and Sinatra is at his crooning best.
If you loved Kim Novak in Vertigo, she won't disappoint you here.
She is the main reason I bought this DVD.
Her beauty and innocence shine bright in Pal Joey.
Hayworth's character as a jealous man-izer is also believeable.
The shoe is on the other foot, if you will, for a change!

The movie itself is a classic, who doesn't love Frank Sinatra? Lots of music and songs, Frank at his best! However the film is fuzzy and had written captions below of all conversation. I bought it because my husband, a Sinatra fan, likes all his movies and we didn't have this one. I think I will get another as this is not satisfactory for me.

A highly recommended film for anyone who enjoys musicals or old cinema. Great story which was adapted to the screen for this 1957 gem. Frank Sinatra at his best, a great cast backing old blue eyes makes this a must own for anyone with an appreciation for old Hollywood and for the great musicals. I sing the standards for a living and have found new inspiration in the performances that these great entertainers put forth. 5 out 5 baby......!
