Hollywood legend Angie Dickinson presents the first of two star-studded retrospectives of Frank Sinatra the actor.

In Programme One, Angie, who played Sinatra's wife Bea in the iconic 1960's heist picture Ocean's 11, is joined by Shirley MacLaine and Kim Novak to reflect on Sinatra's prolific film career.

Over five decades Frank Sinatra acted in war thrillers, noir dramas, detective capers, comedies and musicals. In a cinematic career just as colourful as his musical one, he played sailors, nightclub singers, assassins, detectives, soldiers and heroin addicts.

Angie asks what made Sinatra such a great actor on screen and what was the relationship between his screen and singing persona?

At the 1954 Academy Awards, he won Best Supporting Actor for his role as Private Angelo Maggio in From Here To Eternity.

Angie reveals how Sinatra's Oscar win saw him rocket to the top of Hollywood and saved him from obscurity.

Kim Novak reflects on appearing with him in 1955's The Man With The Golden Arm, the film Sinatra called his greatest achievement, and Shirley MacLaine recalls her time with Sinatra and Dean Martin on the set of Some Came Running in 1958.
