Product Description

Meet Danny Wilson (1951)

Director:

Joseph Pevney

Writers:

Don McGuire (screenplay), Don McGuire (story)

Stars:

Frank Sinatra, Shelley Winters, Alex Nicol

Some observers have suggested that Meet Danny Wilson could just as well have been titled Meet Frank Sinatra. A star vehicle if ever there was one, the film casts Sinatra as Danny, a would-be singer, playing cheap saloons while waiting for the Big Break. Danny and his buddy Mike Ryan (Alex Nicol) find the going rough until they're befriended by nightclub chirp Joy Carroll (Shelley Winters), who gets them a job in a nightspot run by crooked Nick Driscoll (Raymond Burr). Danny scores a hit, whereupon Driscoll demands 50% of his salary in perpetuity, leading to a violent climactic confrontation. Meanwhile, Danny romantically pursues Joy, who seems more interested in Mike. Meet Danny Wilson proves beyond doubt that Frank Sinatra was capable of delivering a solid dramatic performance long before his "breakthrough" role in From Here to Eternity.

Meet Danny wilson

Meets my standards

Meet Danny Wilson is one of Sinatra's best! He's in great voice and kind of plays himself. The music is great and so was the talented Shelley Winters. Alex Nichol was fine in a supporting role. I recommend this film for all Sinatra fans and lovers of great pop music.
