Kennedy, Sinatra and the Mafia (2023)

Kennedy, Sinatra and the Mafia (2023). Kennedy, Sinatra and the Mafia: Directed by David Harvey. With John F. Kennedy, Frank Sinatra. With his mafia wiseguy links and access to entertainment industry star power, Frank Sinatra helped John F. Kennedy into the White House in 1960. But it all came to a bitter end.

“You might think there wouldnu0026#39;t be much more to say about Frank Sinatra, Jack Kennedy and the American mafia, three of the most studied subjects in popular culture. But I enjoyed this documentary, which mostly keeps it real while showing how a network of essentially personal connections put the President of the United States surprisingly few degrees of separation from organised crime. It also draws our attention to what Kennedy saw in Sinatra (what you might expect) and what Sinatra saw in Kennedy (which is rather more interesting). At the end, it indulges in pointless Kennedy assasination theories; but what comes before is informative.”
