The era of the musical Faded out in the oncoming Years but still appreciated!

[@ejseabury]

I watched “The Tender Trap” for the first time on TCM On Demand just two nights ago. I loved it and now I can’t get this song out of my head, which suits me just fine.

[@richardlee8495]

the most spare, splendid opening of an MGM movie, ever. and Frank Sinatra, at his vocal peak, made it happen. love to watch it again and again, as do many others out there. a great big sigh, once again, for a time when movies were MOVIES, and thank you, once again, director Charles Walters, for making this happen.

[@peterblack3665]

Not played often but I really think this is one of Frank’s best songs....

[@024pMzA]

he has so many but this one sways so smoothly .......really a classic that's been nearly forgotten

[@deaneaton8105]

Only Charles Walters could've made this opening. Pick the best angle possible to let Frank be the center, make the staging simple - the hallmarks of his style and craft.

[@arthurinuk]

The way Francis remains on the horizon whilst moving forward. Genius.

[@57merrill]

always great to hear-songs like this don't happen anymore

[@erinbower7162]

I love 'ol Blue eyes! Wish I could have seen him live, but only learned about him about the time he passed away.

[@erinbower7162]

I love Frank Sinatra! Wish I could have seen him live, but only learned about him around the time he passed away.

[@richardlee8495]

to see him live was a totally thrilling experience. he snapped his fingers when he came on to sing "Ive Got You..." and he did. in Baltimore. twice. nobody took the stage as effortlessly as Frank Sinatra.

Fabulous open. On a huge screen in CinemaScope it was breathtaking.

I could just imagine seeing this in 1955 in theaters it’s in Frank’s slowly walk towards the camera in a huge Cinemascope screen

I'm in love with this song!!💗💗

[@RoyHWagnerASC]

This song was photographed in the afternoon on MGM's Lot 3 in Culver City. The cloud background was the huge painted backdrop for the huge water tank (of course empty for this shot).

One of his last concerts in the San Francisco Bay area was at the circle Star theater in San Carlos now it's a Best buy I was about 15 years old my sister was dating some cop she was never a Sinatra fan but I was so jealous that she got to go to that concert.

Love this...music video!

0:00-0:04 Tanner the Lion in Leo's roar combined (1957 & 1982 roar), previously used in 2010: The Year we Make Contact.

[@LDFE2002]

Was it the 1982 roar or 1995 roar?

[@davaotripsters]

@@LDFE2002 1982 roar

[@isaiahtheclassichistorian]

Which is funny because there’s another copy of this film with the original roar intact

[@Nick-ty9us]

Nelson Riddle being a genius with the music scoring

[@williamdunphy352]

Actually, the music score is by MGM veteran, Jeff Alexander. Nelson Riddle did the arrangement.

[@Nick-ty9us]

Love this movie

[@Camop-iz9kt]

This was filmed in the giant tank on Lot 3 at MGM. It was empty, of course.

[@ginnylorenz5265]

You mean one of Esther's? (I love movie trivia!)

[@Camop-iz9kt]

@@ginnylorenz5265 No.....a huge tank that was used for ocean scenes and battles, such as in BEN-HUR. Esther's tank was on Lot 2.
