Catalogue Note

Inscribed by Capra: "To the champ— One of the 7 who have carved their initials into our century's plus column— Edison, Einstein, Churchill, Fleming, Fermi, Toscanini, Sinatra. Frank C." Capra directed Sinatra in A Hole in the Head (United Artists, 1959).  In the film, Sinatra played the character of Tony Manetta, who, along with two friends, moved from the Bronx to Miami in search of wealth and success.
