An attractive film with mild humor.
The US distributor made 59 cuts to it, to shorten the time. I haven't seen any information on how long the US release was.
There is now an Italian DVD release in 2.35 format. It is based on the shortened US edition, and adds missing footage from the 4:3 TV master, mainly in the last half.
But in the 1990s another scene was dropped from both the VHS and TV masters. At about 45 minutes there had been a scene where she appears wrapped in a bedsheet. This is not restored in the DVD.
There may be a problem in the UK having a good master. It may need to be remastered from the uncut negative.

The 1959-60 season brought four specials on NBC with this title. His 1957-58 series was not continued through 1958-59. The four shows were:
1. High Hopes - October 15, 1959
2. An Afternoon With Frank Sinatra - December 13
3. Here's To The Ladies - February 15
4. Welcome Home Elvis - May 12.
From what I read they received high viewing ratings. It included the first TV appearance of Nancy Sinatra and the first TV appearance of Elvis Presley after the army. Frank was bold, but his guests were largely from his Rat Pack circle.
I do not find Frank particularly interesting myself, and his shows had a lax and unpolished feel. The 1959-60 series was much more successful than the 1957-58 awkward mix of variety and drama.
