"Miami Beach: Fabulous Fifties"

Locals reminisce about the hey-day of Miami Beach. Historic photographs and footage transport the viewer to the era when Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin lounged poolside at the Fountainebleau Hotel and locals went to the shows at the Tropicana and Five O'clock Club.

If the tourists didn't spend all their money on entertainment they could always drop a c-note on the ponies; gambling rackets illegally operated out of all of the tony hotels. Everything was a rush until the end of "the season" when locals were left alone with the mosquitoes and heat of the south Florida summer, waiting for it all to begin again the next year.
