      Denny S 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. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 12/05/23 Full Review Collin N Such a great Gangster Musical! Filled with amazing singers and legends! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/31/21 Full Review deke p A classic. I loved it. Great cast! Great music. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Classic with 4 of the best singer entertainers ever Old Blue Eyes, Sammy, Der Bingle and Dino. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member You can’t go wrong with a film with the Rat Pack. However it does seem to drag a bit. Still good fun Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/10/20 Full Review kevin w Sinatra (as producer) knew a little something about the movie biz by 1964: just give the yokels what they want. And so while the entire shebang is only an excuse to give the cast of singers a chance to do their thing, there's the whole goofball Damon Runyon Guys and Dolls schtick that folks seem to enjoy, that story about forest dwelling do-gooders fighting for the regular folks, people get a kick out of that, and finally (but foremost) the Rat Pack, assuring everybody that everything's gonna be A-OK. Charm by the bulk, by jingo. Why they're giving the stuff away. And who's best at it? There's the heart of gold at the center of this tasty feast, everyone gets their shot. Der Bingle, Dean-o, Sammy, Peter Falk and Barbara Rush, it's like they planned it. Like a heist. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
