Sinatra in Palm Springs is an outstandingly well made and engaging documentary that tells the often surprising story of a figure most of us think we already knew. It's a personal story told by insiders who knew, worked, and played with him, not a biography or the story of Sinatra's fame and career, but an often funny and entertaining, intimate view of his life and the fifty years he lived in the desert. This film is surely not a paint-by-the-numbers, predictable bio-pic like so many others. It's a sharp and revealing insider's look at the private life of an American icon. Photographed and edited with great flair, there is never a dull moment in this movie. More importantly, it is directed with intelligence, bringing to the screen an appreciation of Sinatra and the desert as his home, without ever being star-struck. Sinatra in Palm Springs contradicts many myths about Frank Sinatra in the popular press and mind. So, don't miss it. That's an offer you can't refuse. Think you know Sinatra? Think again.
