Description: Ebay Mobile Listing Responsive Template Auction Professional Html Design TapikaStore EZStart Software Rocky Fortune Product Description Created in 1953 by writer George Lefferts and starring Frank Sinatra in the lead, Rocky Fortune followed the exploits of a marginally employed jack-of-all-trades Rocko Fortunato, or Rocky Fortune. Considered a second-rate show even when it aired, the series found Sinatra at the nadir of popularity after his 1940s crooning heights and just before his career was rekindled with his role in From Here to Eternity.The scripts, mostly by George Lefferts and Ernest Kinoy, often stretched the limits of believability, taking Fortune from jobs as a social director at a Catskills resort to transporting a truck of nitroglycerine across the country. Sinatra's cool, somewhat flippant persona brought the audience along for a fun ride and made it easier to overlook sometimes absurd situations.There was little continuity over the series' run. Despite not being able to keep a job for more than a single episode, Fortune always had the license, certification, or union card necessary for the next job. The only other recurring character was the dim-witted police Sergeant Hamilton J. Finger, played by Barney Phillips, who always called his precinct headquarters "the Irish clubhouse". For reasons never fully explained, Fortune always had a direct line to the Sergeant and at times even barked orders to the beat cops under Finger's supervision.NBC never found a sponsor for the show but the writers frequently found a way to work the title of Sinatra's new movie, From Here to Eternity, into the story. Rocky Fortune aired 25 times over 26 weeks on NBC October 6, 1953 to March 30, 1954. All the episodes are available in nice sound and represent a real treat for fans of Frank Sinatra. ╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍╍ 1 Rocky Fortune 1953-10-06 (001) - Oyster Shucker at the Fifty Fathoms - 25:102 Rocky Fortune 1953-10-13 (002) - Double Indemnity - 24:233 Rocky Fortune 1953-10-20 (003) - The Shipboard Jewel Robbery - 24:144 Rocky Fortune 1953-10-27 (004) - Pint-Sized Payroll Bandit - 24:335 Rocky Fortune 1953-11-10 (005) - Messenger for Death - 24:546 Rocky Fortune 1953-11-17 (006) - Some Cat's Killed the Canary - 24:167 Rocky Fortune 1953-11-24 (007) - Murder on the Aisle - 24:508 Rocky Fortune 1953-12-01 (008) - Murder Among the Statues - 24:159 Rocky Fortune 1953-12-08 (009) - Murder on the Midway - 24:3010 Rocky Fortune 1953-12-15 (010) - Companion to a Chip - 24:4311 Rocky Fortune 1953-12-22 (011) - The Plot to Murder Santa Claus - 24:4012 Rocky Fortune 1953-12-29 (012) - The Prize Fight Fix (AFRTS) - 30:4413 Rocky Fortune 1953-12-29 (012) - The Prize Fight Fix - 24:2914 Rocky Fortune 1954-01-05 (013) - On the Trail of a Killer - 24:2215 Rocky Fortune 1954-01-12 (014) - The Rodeo Murder Mystery - 24:3516 Rocky Fortune 1954-01-19 (015) - The Museum Murder - 24:5917 Rocky Fortune 1954-01-26 (016) - Hollywood or Boom - 24:4318 Rocky Fortune 1954-02-02 (017) - The Football Fix (AFRTS) - 25:0719 Rocky Fortune 1954-02-02 (017) - The Football Fix - 24:3420 Rocky Fortune 1954-02-09 (018) - The Catskills Cover-Up - 24:2521 Rocky Fortune 1954-02-16 (019) - One Husband Too Many - 24:2222 Rocky Fortune 1954-02-23 (020) - A Sitting Duck for Death - 24:5723 Rocky Fortune 1954-03-02 (021) - Honor Among Thieves - 24:3024 Rocky Fortune 1954-03-09 (022) - The Twice-Murdered Man - 24:2825 Rocky Fortune 1954-03-16 (023) - Psychological Murder - 24:4726 Rocky Fortune 1954-03-23 (024) - Rocket Racket - 24:2427 Rocky Fortune 1954-03-30 (025) - Boarding House Doublecross - 24:42 Payment Policy We accept payment by any of the following methods: Shipping Policy We offer FREE shipping on all orders!
