 Rat
Pack Confidential by Shawn Levy
If you're not inclined to read individual biographies of Frank
Sinatra, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr., Shawn Levy's Rat Pack Confidential is
a perfect one-stop resource. Less a group biography than a series of
impressionistic snapshots, the book is loaded with can't- miss material--the
dirt on the making of Ocean's Eleven, information about Sinatra's wild stint as
a casino owner, deep background on Peter Lawford's habit of introducing Jack
Kennedy to glamorous starlets, wiretap transcripts of mobsters Sam Giancana and
Johnny Formosa discussing Dean Martin's lack of respect.

 The Rat Pack - Live
At The Sands by The Artists
The Rat Pack Live at the Sands was a Sinatra project that
never saw the light of day during his lifetime. Recorded in September 1963 it
is as much an indictment as a celebration of a way of life that got Frank
Sinatra, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr their harum-scarum reputations in the
late 50s and early 60s.

 The Rat Pack
Hey, chicky baby--it's a cuckoo
thing, ya dig? Ray Liotta is a forceful Sinatra (though it's not much of an
impression); Joe Mantegna has the look and the sound of the surprisingly sober
Dean Martin; and Don Cheadle does a great job as the racially conflicted Sammy
Davis Jr. Not great cinema but it's never less than
engrossing.
