There wasn't a thing left to say ...

the night we called it a day




 Casting call:

DANCER - Female, 40+, full figured. Burlesque dancer, will need to dance in audition. Think timeless a la Lana Turner or Ava Gardner.

SKETCHY GUY - 50s, rough trade, pock marked face, etc.

FAT GUY 45+, - all around huge.

BARTENDER - Male, 30s+, looking for characters.

*****

"Bob Dylan mined the Frank Sinatra catalog for his new covers album Shadows in the Night, and for the video for the 1940s standard "The Night We Called It a Day," the rock legend revisits the stark black-and-white, smoky nightclubs and double-crossing of that decade's film noir."

"Dylan's short noir co-stars Robert Davi, a journeyman actor whose grizzled looks paved the way for his casting in dozens of gangster roles. However, Davi's presence likely has a deeper meaning: Not only did Davi make his acting debut alongside Sinatra in the crime flick Contract on Cherry Street, Davi moonlights as one of Las Vegas' premier Sinatra tribute acts. In 2011, Davi released his own album of Sinatra covers, Davi Sings Sinatra – On The Road To Romance."
