ALL THE WAY is a wonderfully crafted comedy drama based on the true story of Frank Sinatra's uproarious visit to Sydney in 1974. All hell breaks loose when reporters hound him and he retaliates - in true Sinatra style - calling the Australian press 'fags and hookers' at his opening concert. The trade unions then blackball Frank (DENNIS HOPPER - Speed, True Romance, Blue Velvet), trapping him in his hotel room - no water, room service etc, and no fuel for his Lear jet to get him back home - until he apologises. But there are two things Frank never does, 'yawn in the presence of the woman he loves...and say sorry'. Told through the eyes of a battling young tour promoter, Frank Sinatra's comeback trip 'down-under' made headlines around the world. Even US President Nixon commented that he wished the saga would continue to keep him off the front page during Watergate!
