After what happened to him in real life, I'm surprised Frank Sinatra agreed to make the movie The Naked Runner. He plays a man whose son gets kidnapped; didn't that hit too close to home? His child gets lured away by strangers at an airport, and Frank follows mysterious clues and ransom notes to get him back. Along the way, he meets up with a woman from his past and has to face his demons.
This European indie flick doesn't really go anywhere, even though it promises to. Frankie looks both bored, depressed, and sorry that he agreed to make the movie in the first place. There aren't any other actors you'll recognize, and the plot isn't nearly as riveting as other kidnapping movies. Unless it's your mission to watch every Frank Sinatra movie ever made, you can skip it. For a better late-60s drama, check him out in The Detective.
