From Here To Eternity: Frank Sinatra's First Confrontation With Fatso

[@colderbeer]

Fatso? He's a toothpick compared to many of the people I see at Walmart these days......

[@Mr.PhatsVarietyVibesShow]

true

[@outerrealm]

Maybe you should stop going to Walmart

[@jdewitt77]

You're so right.

[@leoperidot482]

How about Donald Fatso Trump Sr? It's got a nice ring to it. Do you suppose people bitch about not being able to pay for groceries is because they're fat? America is soooo fat that they're allergic to food now.

[@nanny287]

This film revived Frank’s career with his Oscar win for “From Here to Eternity.” He deserved his renewed success from this win. Louis B. Mayer robbed him of it when he unfairly “left” MGM, but Frank reclaimed his success and never looked back. “They can’t take that away from Sinatra.” 🎶❤️🎶

Don't mess with McHale!!

[@Mr.PhatsVarietyVibesShow]

damn right.

[@traderglen621]

Ernest has all the correct calls!

[@joycejean-baptiste4355]

Is that Earnest Borgnine with Frank Sinatra? Great acting. Thanks for the video.

[@jdewitt77]

Yes it is.

[@charleswinokoor6023]

Right!

[@contractmed1]

And to think Ol' Blue Eyes and Marty Piletti were capable of this kind of acting.

[@charleswinokoor6023]

⁠It was the perfect role for Sinatra. To some extent he was playing himself.

[@joycejean-baptiste4355]

@@charleswinokoor6023 Okay, he was a natural in this role.

[@samaelcoral7297]

Borgnine great actor.italian heritage (from Piedmonte,like me)

[@Mr.PhatsVarietyVibesShow]

he sure was.

[@amafirenze-vi1uh]

The character Borgnine is playing in the movie, is a combination of two characters in the book, the sarge and a private.

[@Mr.PhatsVarietyVibesShow]

interesting /

[@jdewitt77]

No he's only playing SSG "Fatso" Judson. Sgt of the Guard at the post stockade.

[@oder_was]

Montgomery Clift great

[@Mr.PhatsVarietyVibesShow]

he was a fun looking guy...

[@louisdefilippi8982]

They bleeped out the "W word"

[@Mr.PhatsVarietyVibesShow]

oh you mean Wop? Yeah we better not mention that..

[@joycejean-baptiste4355]

Maybe the Gen Z's and Millennials don't know that word and it will go over their heads. I haven't heard it in decades.

[@louisdefilippi8982]

@@joycejean-baptiste4355 That is what one gets when history is rewritten. Wop is as much of an ethnic slur to Italians as Niqqer is to blacks, and just as reprehensible. By the way, KZbin made me censor the N word but not Wop. Duplicity at its finest.

[@thomasgray8488]

Little bit of irony there, since Borgnine (born Ermes Effron Borgnino) was just as ethnically Italian as Sinatra; first generation American son of Italian immigrants. Yeah, I know his character here is an "All American" thug.

[@joycejean-baptiste4355]

@@thomasgray8488 Yes, I remember reading that too.

[@angloaust1575]

Both maggio and prue were Oversensitive types!

[@displayfireworks]

Frank keeps that up and he not be invite to go to New Caledonia on leave with PT-73. LOL

[@Mr.PhatsVarietyVibesShow]

lol.... Frank fell asleep while on guard duty, & went in to the MP Jail..

[@ahmadkazemi8728]

blue eyes Frank Sinatra was living like he's gonna live forever. all famous almost think that way, you come alone and you leave alone. payback time. this world fool everyone one way or another.

[@Mr.PhatsVarietyVibesShow]

interesting

[@valuecalc]

Sergeant Judson was big, powerful, and tough as hell.

[@valuecalc]

@@Mr.PhatsVarietyVibesShow, he was no angel 😇, but he wasn't exactly Mack the Knife 🔪, either. (No pun intended.) The other guys pushed him.

[@valuecalc]

@@Mr.PhatsVarietyVibesShow, oh, agreed. It's a monster classic!

[@valuecalc]

@@Mr.PhatsVarietyVibesShow, that would be a tall order.

[@valuecalc]

@@Mr.PhatsVarietyVibesShow, it could.

[@valuecalc]

@@Mr.PhatsVarietyVibesShow, this is a great scene. Ernie Borgnine is excellent as the roughneck sergeant. Maggio (Sinatra) was too 🔥 hot under the collar and not concentrating on business.

[@TheBatugan77]

If they bleeped out Gunny Hartman in FMJ, the movie would be called BLEEP!

[@Mr.PhatsVarietyVibesShow]

yeah, like what is up with the bleeps this is a war film ...

[@charleswinokoor6023]

“Only my friends call me wop.” Why the censorship? We’re not sissies.

[@kendallevans4079]

We're not, but it's 2023....Everyone has a flag to wave or an ax to grind

[@markpage9886]

He called him wop.

[@handsomeman-pm9vy]

@@markpage9886 Is that similar to doo-wop?

[@TheBatugan77]

Wait'll he says 'tough monkey!' 😮

[@kendallevans4079]

WOP: Acronym for "With Out Papers" Used during immigration processing at Ellis Island and other ports of immigration after WW2. Used for any immigrate, not just Italians. This sign was usually hung around your neck for quicker processing. There was NO negative connotation then, that developed later

[@mightisright]

Interesting to see the size difference between the two.

[@Mr.PhatsVarietyVibesShow]

yep, he was a big guy.

[@leoperidot482]

Sintra was a runt and got big later in life. You know who was like that? LEONARDO DICAPRIO.

[@mikrof467]

Where all the garbage originated

[@Mr.PhatsVarietyVibesShow]

first beef at the bar...

[@angloaust1575]

A couple of guys attacked ernest in real life probably Didn't like the roles he played According to reports!

[@Mr.PhatsVarietyVibesShow]

wow, Really? we should look into this. Never heard this before..

[@robertgautreau4573]

He was lucky he spoke Italian, they wanted to kill him over Frank Sinatra

[@Mr.PhatsVarietyVibesShow]

I think Fatso is Italian heritage

[@brucesheehe6305]

Curly of the 3 Stooges used to get attacked all the time. Sure, you can hit him in the head with a hammer and it won't hurt him.

[@joep8787]

I'd take that bet. Sinatra always had some thugs like Jilly Rizzo take care of the rough stuff for him.

Sinatra was a tiny, skinny weasel.

[@kendallevans4079]

@@batswbennett He was, mostly hype. Decent voice though. That whole "Rat Pack" thing was stupid
