SINATRA: ALL OR NOTHING AT ALL is an up-close and personal examination of the life, music and career of the legendary entertainer. Told in his own words from hours of archived interviews, along with commentary from those closest to him, the documentary weaves the music and images from Sinatra's life together with rarely seen footage of Sinatra's famous 1971 "Retirement Concert" in Los Angeles. The film's narrative is shaped by Sinatra's song choices for that concert, which Gibney interprets as the singer's personal guide through his own life.

Focusing on Sinatra's first 60 years - beginning with his birth in Hoboken, New Jersey and meteoric rise in his 20s - and drawing on comments from friends and family, as well as never-before-seen footage from home movies and concert performances, this unprecedented tribute to the beloved showman follows Sinatra's growth from roadhouse performer to global singing sensation.

With the participation of the Frank Sinatra Estate, family members and archivists, SINATRA: ALL OR NOTHING AT ALL is an intimate portrait of the singer, actor, father, husband and philanthropist.

Alex Gibney's other HBO documentaries include "Mr. Dynamite: The Rise of James Brown," the Oscar®-winning "Taxi to the Dark Side," the Emmy®-winning "Mea Maxima Culpa: Silence in the House of God," "My Trip to Al-Qaeda" and the upcoming "Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Belief," which debuts March 29 on the network.
