Lest we forget the score for this movie was composed by Jimmy Van Heusen, with lyrics by Sammy Cahn. As a team they also wrote the songs "All The Way", "High Hopes", "Call Me Irresponsible" , "The Tender Trap", "Thoroughly Modern Millie" and many other hits.

My mother met Sinatra, at the pump room, at the ambassador west hotel, back in the early 80`s, he was very kind, and asked what her name was, ( her name is Liz ) and Sinatra said, well..hello Liz..how are we tonight...!

Funny..on a unrelated note, back in 2004, when living in Miami, with my ex, we met James Caan, who was dining out, with a director, and George Hamilton was there too ( talk about opposites..! ) I went up to Caan to say hi.., and he had a nasty look on face ( I thought he was going to punch me in the jaw ) I quickly walked away.. made my way back to our table, and George Hamilton, was there chatting with my ex..! He was laughing, and said..' don't worry about that guy..' Hamilton, spent at least 30 minutes talking to us. What a great guy..! We also met Colin Ferrell, later that year, when they filming the movie..Miami Vice. We were at a bar, I went up to Ferrell, said..Hi..he was super cool, drinking a scotch and smoking a marboro red..he was quite nice..!

Making this movie was a difficult experience. Planned as another Rat Pack movie, Sinatra was snubbed by the Kennedys, so exiled Peter Lawford. He was replaced by Bing Crosby, in his last movie role. During filming, Kennedy was assassinated. Sinatra was so shaken by this, he could barely continue working.

Crosby acted in a couple of TV movies after that: "Swing Out, Sweet Land" (1970), in which he portrayed Mark Twain, and the very interesting villainous role in played in the drama "Dr. Cook's Garden" (1971).

Most people never got the point that this was a satirical reverence to the hightime of Al Capone in Chicago. Just compare the TIMELESS episode about the mobster time with this scene.

I love this song My Kind of Town. 3-8-2021

When the music teacher picked you to sing for the play:

My folks took me to see this movie in 1964. I loved it then, and this is the first time since then I've viewed a clip from it. I love it! Wonderful.

God Bless Turner Classic Movies! This is what I woke up to this evening!

sadly all the main people in this movie are dead.but the fact that in the chosing of the extras was quite diverse

Imagine this as the intro to a apocalypse movie

I love the outfits 😍

Beautiful scene, gives me goosebumps - largely due to Jimmy van Heusen's tune

I only wish I had been around in the 60s. I love the movies from the silver screen. Jimmy Stewart, Bing Crosby, and Bob Hope are my favorite actors from that era.

The best of Frank Sinatra!

This is where the pizza commercial song comes from

I think it’s really cool how they had a black police officer in this movie during a time period when racial tension was pretty high. Studs, these guys.

Frank took it the worst, because he was close friends with JFK, he sobbed for days after finding out. They were estranged in their friendship due to Frank's connections to the mob, so he never got the chance to make up with him.

If you're wondering that because of the recent media press I think he would have. He died in the late 90s. Late 80s - 1990s Chicago actually had higher murder/crime rates than today. If he still enjoyed Chicago in his twilight years I think he still would have today.

@@iversongirl On the other hand you miss the point here. ROBO AND THE SEVEN HOODS was a satire on the live of Al Capone. In his hay days the people cheered when he turned up and had seen him as some kind of a hero against the all mighty Government. For the public he also had created an image of a good doer - same as ROBO ( FRANK SENATRA ) here. Just after the Prohibition Age people seen Al Capone as he really was, almost like ROBO at the end of the musical.

The environs of Chicago. Not my kinda town but hey! Born in the USA. Provable but Trump and Co still telling fables maybe? My Kinda Lady was the daughter of an American born father. And a mother who lived in Ohio one time. Chicago? One town that won't let you down? Add Missouri/Missoura and I will alleged a Nation of mostly Do Gooders run by Do Badders. You either got or you haven't got stiles. Moving on....

Chicago used to be my hometown. It was strong, beautiful and vibrant. Time to get rid of Lori Lightfoot and get in a proper Mayor. This should be the theme song for Chicago Republicans when it's time to vote her and her cronies out! Let's have pride in our city again!!!
