The original hepcat spree, the big daddy of Rat Pack movies, the straight flush in a high-stakes game: yeah, it's Ocean's 11, baby. Long before George Clooney dared to rework this movie into a franchise, Frank Sinatra turned a straightforward heist picture into--well, in some ways, a star-studded but still straightforward heist picture. Ocean's 11 is sometimes a surprise to fans who expect a jokier, more freewheeling movie; the boys actually play it fairly straight in this one, and after all they're under the direction of Lewis Milestone, once the director of All Quiet on the Western Front. Sinatra is fairly effortless, Dean Martin gets loose on 'Ain't That a Kick in the Head?', Sammy Davis, Jr., croons an approximation of a title tune, and Peter Lawford, Joey Bishop, and Angie Dickinson fill in the gaps. The lingo is fun (Richard Conte: 'Give it to me straight, Doc--is it the big casino?'), the décor is eye-peeling, and the general ambience of 1960 Las Vegas has a great time-capsule quality. While they were shooting the picture, the members of the Rat Pack were also performing on stage at night, which suggests that the real fun were happening when the cameras weren't on. The swagger, however, endures. --Robert Horton

Rating:  - The real deal!
George Clooney has got nothing on the Rat Pack! An excellent story, great action, and even great singing! What else would you expect from these legendary entertainers? A must have for any fan of the Rat Pack, and any fan of Movies!
Rating: - Old Vegas is Gone Now,but this Movie was Great....
If U have seen Oceans 11 with Brad Pitt & George Clooney I think U will like this movie if nothing else to see how Old Vegas was and looked,ran,a Fun look onto the Past..I wouldn't be born for quite a few years after this movie even came out & I can totally "Agree" New Vegas doesn't hold a candle to New Vegas,which is a shame because it's lost something when big corp's took over & I would've Loved to go when Vegas was Vegas,too bad.
The only thing about the movie I didn't like ... Read More
Rating: - Ocean's 11
Excellent. The recent remakes are not as good as this one. The plot is better, the acting is better, the gags are funnier.
Rating:  - Better the Second Time 'Round
Usually when movies are re-makes they can't match up to the greatness of the first. In this case, the re-make of Ocean's 11 was better than the original. The original Ocean's 11 was slow and not nearly as dramatic. It lacked the technical info. that helped to make Ocean's 11 with George Clooney et al really great. Granted, technology during the Rat Pack's day was no where near the technology of today but the original Ocean's 11 lacked technology that would have been current at that time.
Rating: - In memory of Frankie
The great Lewis Milestone, the supreme filmmaker of the well reminded " All quite on the Western front" undertook this fanciful and dynamic heist on form of comedy around to rob five casinos simultaneously. The Rat pack in action is plenty enough to maintain us in constant vigil from start to finish.
