Summary:

Frank Sinatra plays private eyes Rocky Fortune, a “footloose and fancy-free son,” frequently unemployed, who would then take on a variety of odd-jobs that could lead into adventurous escapades.Rocky, always ready with a sensible remark and a tongue-in-cheek approach, is definitely a magnet for trouble. There is usually a beautiful woman included; the right, some poor. His tough man stays just inside the regulation, though we frequently get a glance of a gentle heart under the hard-boiled exterior.Rocky usually received job assignments through the Gridley Employment Company, usually referred to as “the agency”. During the series, he worked as an activity server, museum tour instruction, cabbie, bodyguard, chauffeur, truck driver, social director to get a Catskills holiday resort and a carny. He could also fake enough bass to try out at weddings and bar-mitzvahs.The show aired just like Sinatra is at the working for an Oscar for his role in ‘From Here to Eternity’, it became a working gag that Rocky seemed to work the phrase “from here to eternity” into nearly every show.
