Did you know

โ€ข Features Frank Sinatra in an unfortunate turn as a black-faced member of a chorus, decked out in an outfit of spats, top hat and bow tie. Years later, Sinatra recognized his youthful mistake: "We didn't realize that we were hurting anybody at the time, until the mid-forties when the NAACP made us all aware. We were insensitive." It was six years before Sinatra appeared on film again.
