Bill T @btreakle 4d “Robin And The Seven Hoods” This 1964 movie starring Frank Sinatra Dean Martin Sammy Davis junior Bing Crosby and Peter Falk it’s an absolute joy to watch. Has nothing to do with the uh Robin Hood and his merry men type of film. This is just a play on words and kind of a neat musical with a great cast great costumes and just a fun film that's good for all ages. Never got a lot of high praise from the critics but I liked it it was something different and considering it was made in 1964 I thought it was very well done. See more Denny S @pinetree51 12/05/2023 By 1964, The Rat Pack were pretty much over the hill. Age was catching up with them and between the garish color and heavy makeup, it had an almost surreal look. Sinatra is essentially playing Sinatra, the boss of the gang who calls all the shots, but his shtick is predictable and narcissistic. Dean Martin looks like a wax image of himself. Crosby come off the best with his natural restraint contrasting with everyone else's habit of overacting. Chicks. Booze. Gambling. Not only a period piece set in the 1930s, but already a period piece in 1964, with the Beatles and The Stones on the charts making the booze-soaked Rat Pack guys pushing 50 years old or more an anachronism.

See more 11/25/2020 Classic with 4 of the best singer entertainers ever Old Blue Eyes, Sammy, Der Bingle and Dino. See more 06/10/2020 You can’t go wrong with a film with the Rat Pack. However it does seem to drag a bit. Still good fun See more Read all reviews
