Frank Sinatra's daughter Tina has reportedly clashed with Martin Scorseseover the director's portrayal of her famous father in his upcoming biopic.

The Raging Bull director is currently working on a movie adaption of the My Way crooner's colourful life, with Tina Sinatra signing on to the project as an executive producer.

Tina really wants to make sure that a sanitisedFrank comes through, and that it's not overly negative

But Tina 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.

And Tina is urging Scorsese - who made his name through a string of gangster movies - not to focus on her father's shadowy past, according to the New York Post.

A source tells the publication, "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. "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 sanitisedFrank comes through, and that it's not overly negative". Tina Sinatra 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, telling 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.
