I loved the way the album gets off to a quick start with the upbeat, catchy "(Love is) The Tender Trap" from The Tender Trap. There is just something about the snappy way that Frank sounds that is absolutely infectious, helping set the tone even for a newbie, such as myself.

Other highlights that jumped out at me include: "Young at Heart" from Young at Heart, "All of Me" from Meet Danny Wilson, "The Lady is a Tramp" from Pal Joey, "Chicago" from The Joker is Wild, and "I Couldn't Sleep a Wink Last Night" from Higher and Higher. At the other end of the spectrum, I did not particularly care for "High Hopes" from A Hole in the Head, I think it is the backing singers that grate on me.

Who this is targeted at, I am not sure. For the most part, you can find these songs on countless other collections, meaning that if you are a fan, you probably have all of these songs already. The newbie? Not likely, as newcomers would be more likely be attracted to the words "Best" and "of." I guess the target would be me, the newbie with a cinematic addiction, luring me away from the greatest hits collections with the use of the word "movies."

Bottomline. In conclusion, this is a good collection, no matter how you want to slice it. I still think I would have been better served starting with a hits collection before moving onto this, but there is no denying the quality of the songs as well as listening to that superb voice. I have to recommend this collection, pick it up in conjunction with a hits collection and spend an evening with one the all-time greats.
