In a profile of Frank Sinatra published in 1955, in the midst of the starʼs second defining career ascent, Time magazine declared, “His new success spreads like a Hoboken cargo net across almost every area of showbusiness.”1 Timeʼs use of Sinatraʼs urban industrial background to describe his extraordinary success is typical of the commentary surrounding the star in the 1950s which cast him as a working-class interloper and betrayed the problematic class dynamics frequently denied by post-war Americaʼs dominant culture. Sinatraʼs non-conformist behaviour, aggressive ambition, extreme experiences of success and failure, and the screen characters through which he portrayed alienation and disenfranchisement combined with this type of unsubtle critique in the development of Sinatraʼs conspicuous working-class star identity. |
