Based on the true events surrounding Frank Sinatra's tour of Australia. When Sinatra calls a local reporter a "two-bit hooker", every union in the country black-bans the star until he issues an apology.

Standout Aspects

Acting

Dennis Hopper's unhinged, sweaty, magnificent Frank Sinatra.

Production

Glorious 1974 period detail on a clearly limited budget.

Writing

The actual 1974 newspaper headlines are wilder than fiction.

Best for:Streaming: When you want obscure Australian cinema with chaotic true-story energy.·Friends: Group watch for 'that actually happened?!' moments.·Background: Fold laundry to Dennis Hopper doing a Sinatra impression.
Heads up:Language: Repeated use of Sinatra's actual slur; period-appropriate casual sexism.

Trivia

The real Sinatra called Australian reporters 'fags' and 'whores' at his 1974 press conference; the unions really did ground his private jet for three days.
