YOU WOULDN’T CALL IT A GANG. JUST DANNY OCEAN AND HIS 11 PALS – THE NIGHT THEY BLEW ALL THE LIGHTS IN LAS VEGAS!

Ah, the glory of having the entire ”Rat Pack” gathered in one film – Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis, Jr., Joey Bishop and Peter Lawford are fun to watch as the criminals who intend to rob five casinos in Vegas. Never mind the job, there’s always time to have a drink, belt out a tune and get friendly with the ladies. But the stars seem to enjoy it more than the audience; the movie lacks the kind of entertainment value and story that could have made it a true classic. Amusing contributions from the guest stars, Shirley MacLaine in particular.
