“Sinatra emerges as the worst kind of playground bully and Richard Shelton captures perfectly his string-pulling menace.”

Michael Billington, The Guardian, ‘Rat Pack Confidential’. 

“Richard Shelton in particular conveys a fearsome impression of how vile Sinatra could be when he was crossed (and sometimes wasn’t).”

John Gross, The Sunday Telegraph, Rat Pack Confidential’

“A stand out performance from Richard Shelton as a swaggering steely-eyed son-of-a-bitch Sinatra.”

Alan Hulme, Manchester Evening News, ‘Rat Pack Confidential’

“Singing the hits with style, Sinatra is marvellously played by Richard Shelton with a smile that turns on and off like a light bulb and an edge of near psychotic violence who comes across as a 24-carat bastard.” 

Charles Spencer , The Daily Telegraph, ‘Rat Pack Confidential’.
