My favorite, and definitely legitimate one (unlike some in the video below), is from the original, John Frankenheimer masterpiece, The Manchurian Candidate (1962).
Major Ben Marco (Frank Sinatra), who has been plagued by nightmares, comes to the manhattan apartment of his friend and former subordinate, Sgt. Raymond Shaw (Laurence Harvey), only to encounter, answering the door, north korean spy, Henry Silva (1926-2022), who had been their treasonous guide in the Korean War, ahd who had led their unit into an ambush. Ben Marco has a flash of recognition.
You are not seeing stunt doubles in action. When Sinatra smashed the wooden table, he broke his pinky. But rather than stop, he continued through excruciating pain, and finished the scene.
"What was Raymond doing with his hands?!"
Simulating the playing of solitaire.

NEW FRANK SINATRA MOVIE TO BE MADE
--E.T.
GRA:I heard a report on the radio from "Entertainment Tonight" that Leonardo DiCaprio will portray Frank Sinatra and Jennifer Lawrence will star as Ava Gardner in a biopic that is being put together by Martin Scorsese.
It turns out, Scorsese has been attempting to make this movie since around 2010,but Tina Sinatra would not give the rights to Scorsese,objecting to the content of the script(mafia connections).Scorsese wanted to make a hard hitting bio,with several actors playing Sinatra at various ages,including Al Pacino and Robert De Niro as Dean Martin.That was years ago,so who knows which actors he has in mind now.
A report from "The Guardian" says Scorsese may still have problems with Ms.Sinatra in procuring authorization for filming the movie "his way."
