  • Murder On The Isle - Rocky Fortune | 11/24/1953 (Ep07)
    Jun 7 2026
    Rocky Fortune was created in 1953 by writer George Lefferts and starring Frank Sinatra in the lead. Rocky Fortune followed the exploits of a marginally employed jack-of-all-trades Rocky Fortune. Though considered a second-rate show even during the 26 weeks it aired, it's a nice boon for Frank Sinatra fans.
