What a great trip into this mans life, as a 31 y/o I'm sad to never have witnessed what this man brought to a stage. But what a life he had, too bad he couldnt keep his hands of the birds, because his wife was one of a kind. Even through his misses and betrayals she was always on his side, and even though he cheated her he would always be there for her.
But, how great he was, his ties to the mafia were almost marginalised. After reading some books of known mob bosses its clearly his ties were bigger and perhaps more friendlier than this documentary portrayed it. In The Last Testament of Lucky Luciano is written how the 1946 Havana convention was also an opportunity to celebrate the career of a young Sinatra. And how they got him off a contract with Tommy, also the whole Kennedy campain was corrupted by promises of the Kennedy family toward mobsters.
Also the relationship with his daughter would've been nice, in the end they made a song together which didnt made it to the show. It would've been nice to hear how this came to work!
But eventually it was a nice 4 hour trip in a complex life of an eternal star!
