Sinatra: Dark Star

A documentary that aired yesterday on the Australian ABC television network purports to offer new details on Frank Sinatra’s visit to Havana and his ties to the mob, including an interview with a waiter who worked at the club at the time and claims to have been witness to much of the proceedings.

I don’t know if there is any plan to show this in the United States or Europe. If anyone has additional information on this program please share what you know in the comments section of this post.

    I watched this documentary when it aired on the BBC in the UK earlier this year. Frankly, (pardon the pun) it revealed nothing that has not already been said about Mr Sinatra’s *alleged* mafia connections. The documentary focused on his career as singer and actor and whether it was achieved partly through these underworld connections. In my opinion this documentary is to be taken with a LARGE pinch of salt!

    I read an amazing story about Frank Sinatra and his daugther Julie Sinatra, the mob, Cuba… it can be downloaded at JulieSinatra.com She is also in an interview on YouTube, wow, take a look at her and tell me she is not his child.
    She has an amazing story of mob cover-ups and her struggle to gain her identity in court facing the Sinatra family - but she did it.

    I recently watched this in Italy, 2007. It was fantastic. I’m trying to track down a copy to purchase, but can’t find one anywhere. Any help?

    My grandfather, Chico Scimone, is in this movie and I would love to get a copy of this. If anyone has any ideas on how I can get a copy, please email me at Jhenry227@cfl.rr.com. Thank you so much! Julie (Scimone) Henry
