  This DVD is not a carelessly compiled series of clips but a kind of feature film with songs by Nancy Sinatra & Friends and her dad. With her lasciviously arrogant voice Nancy Sinatra caused a sensation in the 1960s successfully following the footsteps of her legendary father Frank. As the female face of rock 'n' roll she embodied the tough and independent woman and became a role model for many young girls of her era. In the 1960s Nancy was sponsored by Royal Cola a fact documented by a couple of commercial clips on this DVD starring (among others) Lee Hazlewood as a cowboy and casual pedestrian and a brilliant Sammy Davis Jr. playing a photographer.The footage also contains entertaining pieces of 60s fashion: ultra-short mini-skirts big hairdos cool colors hot boots and pantsuits. The nostalgically inclined will also love those fabulous American automobiles.

  Network television was already wrestling with a generation gap and the rowdy cultural upheaval posed by rock when American network NBC aired this 1967 special for Nancy Sinatra, with younger viewers increasingly tuning out the typical videotaped studio productions that typified TV specials. To sidestep those conventions (and, one suspects, to showcase the stars modest performing gifts to best advantage), director Jack Haley Jr. shot Movin with Nancy on film in and around Los Angeles, yielding sequences that anticipate the visual experiments that would characterise music videos more than a decade later. The results are intriguing: for Sinatras fans, the chance to see her in all her leggy, mini-skirted glory will be irresistible, but amateur pop sociologists will be at least as fascinated by the period details and some unwittingly bizarre undercurrents. For the putative teen viewers of the day, theres the psychedelic montage of "Some Velvet Morning", one of several duets with Sinatras frequent partner at that time, Lee Hazlewood (a country-tinged, B-team Sonny to her blonde variation on Cher), interweaving the two singers on horseback and making much out of bewildering references to Euripides Phaedra. For the grown-ups, there are segments teaming her with Dean Martin (awkwardly addressed as her "god-uncle") and Sammy Davis Jr., as well as a reverential sequence in which she caresses oversized posters of her famous father (including a still from his then-current crime feature, Tony Rome, depicting him with a menacing pistol) that raises all sorts of knotty psychiatric issues. The mix of Rat Pack glitz, flower power, and mainstream pop gets an added kick with Day-Glo fashions cut to Carnaby Street lines, vintage commercials for Royal Crown Cola ("Its a mad, mad, mad, mad cola!"), and pop covers that likewise lock in a sense of temporal dislocation as Nancy gamely tackles "Up, Up and Away" (in a hot air balloon, of course) and "Who Will Buy?" from Oliver!, here goosed with go-go powered dancing. --Sam Sutherland, Amazon.com
