Frank Sinatra stars as legendary nightclub comic Joe E. Lewis in this biopic that won a Best Song Oscar. Beginning his career singing in speakeasies, Lewis gets in trouble with the mob after refusing to work in some of their nightclubs. In a brutal attack, the mobsters cut Lewis's vocal cords so severely that he can no longer sing. He sinks into a depression, but his caustic sense of humor helps him survive -- and leads him to a new career.
