Rat pack heist romp movie pretty amused, 12 October 2005
7/10
Author: ma-cortes from Santander Spain

The picture talks about the biggest robbery of all. Spyros Acebos(Akin Tamiroff) pull off a scheme introducing the plans for a new business venture : simultaneously burgle five Las Vegas casinos,Sahara,Flamingo,Golden Nugget,Riveira and Desert Inn.He agrees with Danny Ocean(Frank Sinatra) backed by a motley and eclectic gang to execute it ,constituted by 11 pals (Dean Martin,Peter Lawford,Sammy Davis,Richard Conte,Norman Fell,Richard Benedict..).The crew back in action,now veterans, after the fighting in second world war at 82nd Airbone division as paratroopers.We wouldn't call it a special group just Danny Ocean and his buddies,the night they blew all the light,shutting off the electrify in Las Vegas . Millions dollars are taken from the casinos.But the elaborated plan itself goes wrong.They encounter complications when an investigator(Cesar Romero)discovers the tracks. This adaptation achieves one of the greatest entertainment the history of motion picture.We never met a band like Ocean's eleven.

From start until the final the comedy and the giggles along with moderated action is continued.Besides has an intelligent script and an extraordinary final surprise.For comic relief in charge of the varied relationships among several personages and their numerous jokes.Splendid musical song by Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr and sensible end song by Frank Sinatra.Appears uncredited Shirley McLayne in an agreeable comic performance, Red Skelton and George Raft as invited actors.Superb and stunningly musical score by Nelson Riddle(author of Batman TV music).Enjoyable and glossy cinematography by William Daniels(Greta Garbo's photographer).Director Lewis Milestone's masterpiece of the amusement.The movie is remade by a funny and stylished remake with Ceorge Clooney and director Steven Soderbergh. Rating:Good and nice.Worthwhile watching.
