 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.
