Rocky Fortune is an American radio drama with Frank Sinatra as the lead, playing the role of marginally employed Rocko Fortunato, also known as Rocky Fortune. Created by writer George Lefferts, the show follows Rocky's exploits as he takes on various odd jobs, which often lead him into contact with criminals and situations where he helps those in need. Employers and assignments varied, with the only other recurring character played by Barney Phillips as the dim-witted police Sergeant Hamilton J. Finger. Sinatra's relaxed and somewhat flippant persona combined with the humor and absurdity of the series provided a fun and engaging listening experience for the audience.

The show aired for 25 episodes over 26 weeks on NBC Radio Network from October 6, 1953, to March 30, 1954. All of the episodes are available in good sound quality, providing a treat for fans of Frank Sinatra. The show's writers often found ways to incorporate the title of Sinatra's new movie, From Here to Eternity, into the story as a running joke. Other notable actors included Raymond Burr, Ed Begley, and Jack Kruschen.

Performers: Frank Sinatra, Barney Phillips, Raymond Burr, Ed Begley, Jack Kruschen
