Judy, Frank, & Dean – Once in a Lifetime (1962)

Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin join Judy Garland for a televised special. I was mostly interested in watching this to see Judy perform after that awful Judy biopic. It’s interesting to see all three performers after they’ve all long honed their craft and they’ve obviously all figured out what it means to be a Performer. But the real draw is to see Judy. She’s obviously a bit tired and world-weary at this point, but still capable of bringing out the big guns when necessary and it’s fabulous to see her perform. Frank and Dean are just window dressing in comparison.
