Karen McNally is the Course Leader for Film Studies at London Metropolitan University.
"McNally's study . . . has an unexpected share of gossip and biographical surprises. . . . An exploration of Sinatra's forthright ethnicity, his strident championing of civil rights and his sexual objectification."--Times Literary Supplement
"A valuable addition to masculinity studies and Sinatra scholarship. Highly recommended."--Choice
"[McNally] provides meaning and recognition to Sinatra's films, a very important part of his career and his life. Her book is well worth reading."--Film International
"A provocative work. . . . McNally's illumination of the importance of Sinatra and his image to understanding male identity in postwar America will force readers to reexamine simplistic definitions of manhood from the period as well as the cultural significance of the Chairman of the Board."--Journal of American History
