NO you are wrong. Its a posh English accent with a slight Irish lilt and a soft 't'. He doesn't have a brogue. In more recent interviews for NIne, he sounds much more english.

@Chillaxcdawg69

YOu obviously need to see more of his performances. It sounds like you have only seen three...(and Gangs and There Will be blood were supposed to be theatrical). The BOxer, Age of Innocence, My Beautiful Laundrette, and Ballad of Jack and rose were all very subtle performances. ...

@MovieHound17

ITs a Spielberg movie not a scorsese one. Scorsese is trying to get DDL for a movie called "Silence". Spielberg's LIncoln film is either almost finished shooting or done. DDL looks really convincing as LIncoln..hopefully, he was able to pull off the voice which according to every...

@ShannonSam1

One last thing (I don't want to come off like a 'fanatic'), but Frank is not at his best in the Rat Pack stuff..he never was. the Rat Pack allowed Dean and Sammy to shine...Frank shined more on his own. the performances he gave with the Rat Pack are not his best--not even close. H...

@GAWDclanvideos

Dean's got more spark? I can't say I agree with that. I like Dean but he often sang with little emotional investment... A softly sung rendition is not necessarily inferior just because it is softer.. Frank could belt like the best of them (certainly in 57, he could.) He just cho...

@2taggs2

George Harrison's came several years later. And the versions are so totally different that there is no comparison. It is a very old song.

@rare6499

I am presuming that the "My Way" era was post-1965. But, there is some good stuff from this period (songs like "Summer Wind" and 'Drinking Again" and his haunting and his pretty album with Jobin),, but I agree that it's too bad that people are listening to the wrong era of his music...

@Sutterjack

What don't you understand about his Oscar for My Left Foot. I thought he was brilliant.

@MrJimmieriggs

Andy Williams is milktoast compared to Frank..I don't care whether these later crooners sang technically better than Frank; he trumps them in terms of song intrepretation, vocal innovation and emotion. That being said, this song is sappy with a bad arrangement and probably fits s...

@npagano05

I love close-minded rock fans...you miss the point. Rock n Roll is spectacular but it ain't all there is. The fact you think Nancy is better than her father just because she is categorized as 'rock' is ridiculous. I don't think this song completely fits frank (especially with the r...

@Norwegian733

I just watched the Elvis clip. ..I forget sometimes how strong of a voice he had. that being said, Frank's bluesy ballads (like One for my baby, Angel Eyes, I guess I'll hang my tears out to dry and I am a fool to want you) are much more believably said. In other words, in those ...

@MAHARDWAY

Yes, he did and I like it better..but I am biased...LOL. Frank's is more of a swingy, bluesy thing.

Look on youtube. I think its on his man and the music special.

@OneNameJustin

Notice how Landau is using modern audio technology and singing directly into a mic. While Frank's old clip is of him singing in 1957 using old technology and into a boom mic two feet above his head...Not a fair comparision.

And until you hear SInatra's brilliant and devastati...

@bluestucco

You have got to be kidding. Please say you are kidding. How does this polite Anglo-Irish man with a soft clear voice remind you of Plainview? Obviously, you are just being cynical or are a Depp, Clooney, JOnes or Mortenson fan who is peeved that one of them didn't win the Oscar that...

@shittyfagg

White South African.

@ShaneC27

Good point. American citizens born and raised elsewhere are often just called Americans. Why shouldn't it be the same for an Irish citizen?

@fdoubet

Also, we need to add that DDL's co-star in Last of the Mohicans Russell Means who is an Indian activist (and prefers being called Indian to Native American) stated that if an Indian adopts you at a young age, you are for all intents and purposes an Indian. "letstalkaboutstuff' needs to ...

@VolcardoReviewer

correction...

Americans lost 420,000 total people (mostly soldiers) in WWII to England's 450,000 total casulties (combination of soldiers and citizens.) I'd say both sides were brave and fought well. The difference being that America's involvement was less essential for its ow...

@jacksawild

you have to admit that it is a pretty melody..

Yes, I agree that it seems kind of silly to use the melody of the british national anthem for an American patriotic song.)

Yankee Doodle Dandy is an ironic example of an American patriot song based off something English--an English ...

"Could Cate Blanchett play Eli, maybe?" LOL.

@MovieHound17

No, he's playing LIncoln in a Spielberg film.

@Remondoak

Yes, as in the real Slim Shady...DDL said in an interview that year that he listened to lots of Enimen in preparation for playing BIll the Butcher (to get into an angry frame of mind)...He got teased a little for that.

@Mesemeriz

Check IMDB again. Lincoln is now on Day-Lewis' filmography...

@freedomland11

NOt a few days...A few MONTHS before Lincoln's death...With flashbacks, a lot could be covered in this film. My guess is 3 hours.

@Beejeification

Well, actually you are wrong. The great Cole Porter wrote Anything Goes (not Irving Berlin)

@blueguitarblue

The character in A Room with a view is an obvious phony and all the other characters know it (unbeknownst to him). Its a satirical performance making fun of a certain type of Victorian. His last scene (when she breaks up with him) is his most subtle one because the character is ...
