Frank Sinatra Spectacular The Rat Pack Live 1965

The Rat Pack Benefit Concert (Live, Kiel Opera House, St. Louis, Missouri, June 20th 1965) Music | Comedy | USA | B&W | 90min Cast: Johnny Carson (emcee), Dean Martin, Sammie Davis Jr., Frank Sinatra, Quincy Jones conducting The Count Basie Orchestra A very young looking Carson was a last minute call-up to emcee this show when Joey Bishop hurt his back. Sinatra organized the 1965 event to raise funds for the Dismas House of St. Louis, now listed as the oldest “halfway” house for ex-convicts in the U.S. The Dismas House website notes that it had been the dream of founder, Father Clark, to build the home but he originally couldn’t fund it. Furthermore, there was vehement opposition from within the community. Despite the setbacks, the Dismas Halfway House was opened in 1959. And having big names like Martin and Sinatra advocate for the project seemingly helped the cause. According to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, the event raised more than $300,000 ($2.7millionUS in 2022). The home has given refuge to over 10,000 clients since its opening.
