Falling Idol

After his great success in Sinatramania he started descending slowly. He made some bad films and appeared to make some bad friends having been accused of having ties with the Mafia. He also had problems with women, Frank was known to be a womanizer which resulted in him gaining enemies in the media. He was a high profile person who had a low boiling point which resulted in minus points as he hit his peak. As I said before he was supposedly linked with the Mafia and was accused of being helped by Mobsters when Tommy Dorsey wouldn't release him from his contract with him. Many people have seen Frank in the spotlight as the "bad guy" which his own behavior demonstrated a lack of judgment for a public figure who has done so much good work for so many causes. At this time TV was becoming a powerful medium of entertainment and in 1950 he signed a contract for 5 years, but his show never took off. Eventually CBS canceled the show. In December 1952 Colombia refused to renew his recording contract. Things were looking dim for Frank Sinatra during this time,  his bad personal judgments were overshadowing the positive things he had done in his life. He also was having problems with his career which affected him personally because of his passion for his work.
