    A peculiar nexus

    You might think there wouldn'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.
