A rat pack movie with the full line-up plus a few extras like
Cesar Romero and Angie Dickinson. You know the sexual politics are not going to
be correct but you're not watching this movie for that.
From the off you
know know this is going to be a feel good movie that reeks of class, style and
a lot of Jack Daniels. As soon as Sammy starts singing eo11..you know your
watching a masterpiece in the art of cool that shouldn't, mustn't be missed.
Although a lot of the 'actors' in this film could do with 1 or 2 more
takes ( something Frank wouldn't allow) it's surprising how good Dino, Frank
and Sammy are at acting....Sammy Davis especially.
This is a well
balanced movie that will not disappoint rat fans and will surprise newcomers.
Seeing the original Joker (Cesar Romero) playing his socks off might surprise
first time viewers.
The plot is simple. Old chums
from the war are not experiencing civil life too well, 11 chums to be exact.
Could have done with fewer for the sake of a better script but then how would
they get a craps song in it? The plan is to take down some Las vegas casinos on
New Years Eve when no one is looking. Somehow the mob get involved and then
storing the money gets tricky. |

| The end of the plot is fun
and the end of film is cool. Its the widely talked about scene of the cast
walking by The Sands in a long straggling line to the sound of Sammy Davis at
his bluesiest... . Thirty years later Quentin somebody did something like
that.....? |
