Sinatra is a 1988 Spanish melodrama film directed by Francesc Betriu based on Raúl Núñez's homonymous novel. It stars Alfredo Landa as the title character alongside Ana Obregón and Maribel Verdú.
Set in Barcelona, the plot follows the plight of perpetual loser Antonio Castro aka "Sinatra", a Frank Sinatra imitator working in an El Paralelo club who is abandoned by his wife, and then comes across the likes of young drug-addict Natalia, transvestite La Rosita, and sex worker Isabel.
The film is an Ideas y Producciones Cinematográficas production.
The film was released theatrically on 13 May 1988. It grossed 38,372,395 â§ (107,098 admissions).
ÃÂngel Luis Inurria of El PaÃÂs assessed that the film's main flaw "lies in the situational reiteration" [...] which "achieves disinterest and causes boredom".
