Daughter unhappy with Sinatra`s biopic

Frank Sinatra`s daughter Tina has reportedly clashed with Scorsese`s portrayal of the legendary actor-singer.

London: Frank Sinatra`s daughter Tina has reportedly clashed with veteran filmmaker Martin Scorsese`s portrayal of the legendary actor-singer in an upcoming biopic.

The `Raging Bull` director is currently working on a movie adaption of the "Strangers in the Night" crooner`s colourful life, with Tina Sinatra on the project as an executive producer. But she is said to be unhappy with the way the script highlights the darker side of Sinatra`s career, concentrating on his alleged associations with reputed mafia ganglords during his 1960s hey-day, reports imdb.com. Tina is now urging Scorsese, who made his name through a string of gangster movies, not to focus on her father`s shadowy past. "Marty wants it to be hard-hitting and showcase the violent, sexually charged, hard-drinking Frank, but Tina wants to show the softer side of her dad and let the focus be on the music," said a source. "The Sixties were a very swinging time for Frank - he was having sex with a variety of bimbos and cementing his Rat Pack status. It`s a really key time to his mythology. Tina really wants to make sure that a sanitised Frank comes through, and that it`s not overly negative," the source added. Tina recently made it clear that the film which is expected to star Leonardo DiCaprio as Sinatra should refute the reports of her father`s criminal dealing, and told reporters: "I don`t want him to be driving the getaway car. That would not be fair." The as-yet-untitled project is slated for release in 2011. IANS
