The career of Frank Sinatra, who died ten years ago this week, is marked by a season of films on TCM.

As a pin-up of the 1940s, he made such popular musicals as Take Me Out to the Ball Game and Till the Clouds Roll By.

A grittier role in From Here to Eternity in 1953 marked a change of pace, leading to more dramatic fare such as Some Came Running, but also comedies like The Tender Trap. And, yes, even the odd musical of the calibre of High Society – all a fitting tribute to Ol’ Blue Eyes’ talents.
