Ocean's 11 [Repackaged]

Overview

This is a frothy romp through a complex caper meant to deliver the cash from several Las Vegas hotels into the hands of eleven scheming buddies. The name actors, all Rat Pack veterans and their friends, are mostly having fun as themselves -- not that it matters to the story that much. Danny Ocean (Frank Sinatra), Sam Harmon (Dean Martin), Josh Howard (Sammy Davis, Jr.), and Jimmy Foster (Peter Lawford) think they have a foolproof plan to rob the hotels. What they do not count on is the expertise of a real professional crook, Duke Santos (Cesar Romero) who is working against them, of course. Other big names enhance the cast: George Raft, Akim Tamiroff, Angie Dickenson, Patrice Wymore, Ilka Chase, Richard Conte -- and the list goes on and on.

Editorial Reviews

This enjoyably flip heist flick keeps the laughs, thrills, and martinis coming as it tells a familiar tale of a score that supposedly can't go wrong. The Rat Pack stars don't stray far from their established personae, although the presence of several character actors from the hipster second string enlivens the proceedings. Angie Dickinson is quietly vulnerable and loudly gorgeous in a small part as Frank Sinatra's high-rolling title character's wife, while wealthy heiress Ilka Chase sinks her teeth into the archetypal part of Jimmy's monied mother. With Cesar Romero chewing scenery as gangster Duke Santos and Akim Tamiroff having fun as easily flummoxed criminal Spyros Acebos, Ocean's Eleven will never be confused with a serious exploration of the underworld. But it's the ultimate Rat Pack picture, one that sums up a swingin' era with cool-cat lingo, killer threads, gentle misogyny, and even a song or two from Sammy Davis Jr.
