    This three part biography-style series presents the lives and times of Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr. and Dean Martin, three major film-music-entertainment stars, who spent a hell of a lot of their time working and playing together during the 60’s and 70’s.  Each one-hour program in this series is a fairly definitive “bio” which tells the whole life story of the artist. Surprisingly, as we have seen most of the programs made about these artists, the series provides the fullest detail, as each was originally mastered in the early 90’s when budgets for such programs were substantial, and each includes interviews with major stars and friends many of whom are long-deceased.
