Ocean's Eleven

Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., Peter Lawford, Angie Dickinson

During a Los Angeles Christmas, a group of 82nd Airborne vets assembles under the leadership of gamblin' man Danny Ocean (Frank Sinatra) to rip off five Las Vegas casinos just after the stroke of midn... read more read more...ight on New Year's Day. Playboy Jimmy Foster (Peter Lawford) joins in the scheme because he's sick of needing his oft-married mother's money, especially now that she's about to wed Duke Santos (Cesar Romero), a self-made man with all sorts of underworld ties. After he receives the news that he could die at any time, newly released convict Anthony Bergdorf (Richard Conte) reluctantly agrees to participate so he can leave some money to his estranged wife and young son. Ocean's own wife, Beatrice (Angie Dickinson), doesn't think much of her husband's promise of a big score to come, but her quiet protests don't dissuade him. With Las Vegas garbage man and fellow vet Josh Howard (Sammy Davis Jr.) and several casino employees among their number, the titular band of thieves have just a few days to get ready for their caper. When Duke Santos, Jimmy's mother, and one of Ocean's discarded paramours all show up in Sin City at the same time as the veterans, the crew's perfect plans face some serious hurdles. ~ Brian J. Dillard, Rovi

    Whilst I did watch this the wrong way around, ie. The remake before the original, I was pleasantly surprised with the differences between the two. Whilst the main plot sort of remains the same, this version does give you songs from the Rat pack and managed to give a surprise end... read moreing differing from that of the remake. Both were cleverly crafted to suit the era of the heist and the technology surrounding it, whilst using the individual skills of the crew.

    One of the few cases when the remake is much better.

    this movie is the original heist movie, and one of the rat pack's best

    a fun and energetic heist flick. this is one of those rare instances where the remake is probably a bit better than the original, but this rat pack film is still a lot of fun to watch. the logic that the thieves use at the end of the film falls down under scrutiny, but the film... read more is very good and worth a watch.

    Danny Ocean: Why waste those cute little tricks that the Army taught us just because it's sort of peaceful now.

    The first big movie to feature the original Rat Pack. Its a caper flick that has of course been remade into a hipper (and better) film, but this is still enjoyable. I... read morets basically an excuse for these guys to hang around with each other, bouncing off ad-libbed one-liners, and getting to have fun in Vegas.

    Vince Massler: If it's so fool-proof, why hasn't somebody done it yet.
    Danny Ocean: Same reason nobody's gone to the moon yet - no equipment.
    Jimmy Foster: And we're equipped.

    An awesome caper film from the Rat Pack. I really enjoyed the remake, but this one is something quite special, and needs to be sought after by fans of the remake and its sequels.

    I was expecting great things from this, but even before the seemingly endless title sequence was finished I was getting impatient. An hour later, and I was STILL waiting for something to happen. Instead of a snazzy comic heist movie, I was getting a cross between an boys own club... read more and a 50s sitcom with songs tacked on. It's WAY too long, horribly self-indulgent and offers nothing but sharp suits, songs and sexism. George Clooney's remake is far better.

    Oh my God! I forgot--there was a movie I shut off before the end and this was it! I was like Malcolm McDowell in Clockwork Orange when they ran the conditioning on him! This was one of the biggest pieces of shit ever and I couldn't get through it! I hate this movie in ways that c... read morean only be properly expressed through acts of mayhem and violence. I think I came to the realization that if I wanted to see a bunch of douchebags get drunk and hang out I could do that with my own friends. The boozy ballads and shit-stained self-indulgence were way too much and it went on f o r e v e r. This was right down there with watching Woody Allen act in one of his own movies after 1995. But then again I don't mind these guys too much individually, but when you get them together it's just fucktard city. Half a star each for Angie Dickinson and the Shirley Maclaine cameo. If nothing else, they made it irrepressibly easy for Steven Soderbergh to leave them in the dust.

    A classic Rat Pack movie. Not as high-tech as Soderberghs, but still very good. Unlike Soderbergh's version where they rob 1 vault which belongs to three casinos, the gang robs 5 different casino vaults at once.
