Frank Sinatra in Hollywood 1940–1964 is a 2002 compilation album by the American singer Frank Sinatra.. This boxed set collates songs that Sinatra recorded for films made by Paramount, MGM, Columbia, RKO, Universal, Warner Bros., United Artists, and 20th Century Fox, between 1940 and 1964.
The 1944 film version, written by Thomas L. Lennon, starring Nelson Eddy as Broeck, Constance Dowling as Tina, and Charles Coburn as Stuyvesant, not only removed most of the songs and added new ones not by Weill and Anderson, but watered down the political allegory considerably, having been released during World War II.
