In 1987, the Scottish band Danny Wilson released their debut album, Meet Danny Wilson. The name came from an old movie that band members Gary and Kit Clark had never actually seen. They knew Frank Sinatra was in it. Their father had seen it once and had complained he’d never been able to find it again. He wasn't alone. MEET DANNY WILSON (1952) borders on "lost film" status, rarely seen and mostly unavailable even today.
Audiences and critics passed on it. Sinatra biographers consider it a footnote at best. Watching it now, this seems inexplicable. Sinatra arrives on camera having ditched his MGM persona entirely, singing classic after classic with a newfound confidence and swagger that would stay with him for the rest of his career - and here, seems to have somehow possessed him overnight.
How did all this happen? Why did the film disappear? And what if the story of Sinatra’s 1950s comeback isn’t what we think it is?
