SINATRA: ALL OR NOTHING AT ALL
HBO, 8:00 p.m. ET
Part 1 of 2. Frank Sinatra was only 55 when he decided to pack it all in, leave the music-making to a new generation, and stage a retirement concert in 1971, personally selecting 11 songs he felt summarized his life. That concert, in footage recently discovered in daughter Nancy’s possession, forms the spine of this captivating documentary by Alex Gibney, who last week gave us another powerful documentary premiere on HBO, Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Belief. For my full review of this Sinatra documentary, which concludes tomorrow night, see Bianculli’s Blog, and visit the Fresh Air website.
