Francis Albert Sinatra does his thing and invites you to The Frank Sinatra Show
with his guests Diahann Carroll and the Fifth Dimension.
A programme recorded in America
(First shown on BBC-2)

Sinatra liked the dress rehearsal for this show so much that he decided not to record a show proper-so it is a dress rehearsal that you see tonight.
