Synopsis:

The Night We Called It a Day is an Australian comedy based on the true story of Frank Sinatra's uproarious visit to Sydney in 1974. The local press hounded him to high heaven, and in true Sinatra style he retaliated, dubbing the Aussie press 'fags and hookers', at his opening concert.

It's 1974 and Rod (Joel Edgerton), a young music promoter, is in for his biggest challenge. He's convinced Frank Sinatra (Dennis Hopper) to come back to Oz. Now Rod's in for the ride of his life as everything that can go wrong does, and all Frank has to do is apologize! But there are two things Frank never does: "yawn in the presence of the woman he loves... and say sorry."

Rod Blue, a down-on-his-luck Aussie rock promoter, struggles to find the one act that will turn his life and business around. Just as a relationship starts to bloom with his assistant Audrey, Rod secures the coup of his career; bringing the legendary Frank Sinatra to tour Australia.

Comedy drama based around Frank Sinatra's 1974 Australian tour. Sinatra provokes a strike after referring to local female journalists as 'hookers'.
