Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe Scottish group Danny Wilson named themselves after the main character and also named their first album Meet Danny Wilson in 1987.
- GoofsWhen the thug who pushed Danny to the ground in the street takes a swing at Mike, he obviously misses by a foot, but Mike still reacts like he got hit right on the chin. It is such a miss it is a wonder a retake wasn't ordered.
- Quotes
Michael Francis: [just after Danny walks in the door] Home already?
Danny Wilson: Yeah, I just dropped Joy off.
Michael Francis: Spoonin', huh?
Danny Wilson: No, just talkin'.
Michael Francis: Talkin'? You're gettin' old, kid.
Danny Wilson: It's our first date, remember?
Michael Francis: I've known you to meet the family, bribe the kid brother and lock the old man in a closet on first dates.
Danny Wilson: Very funny.

Featured review
If you liked Frank Sinatra in the light fare Double Dynamite, you can check him out in Meet Danny Wilson. He plays a singer with a knack for getting into trouble, who also gets involved with a gangster. Some might call it a story that's a little close to home, but others will just take it for what it is: a cutesy love triangle with some Frank Sinatra songs thrown in for good measure. You'll get to see "How Deep Is the Ocean?", "I've Got a Crush on You", "That Old Black Magic", and "All of Me" performed in a fun nightclub setting.
The woman who is the object of everyone's desire is Shelley Winters, and although she sang in a few movies, she didn't have the best voice. It's still fun to see her share a duet with Frankie, and her eyes sparkle with the fun we think she's having. It turns out, they didn't enjoy working together, but you'd never know it from their cute rapport onscreen. I always wished Shelley had been cast as Adelaide in Guys in Dolls - she would have been so much better! Alex Nicol, Frankie's piano player, and Raymond Burr, the mobster, also vie for Shelley's affections. Who will win out? Find out if you can have love and success all in one in Meet Danny Wilson.
