The original Rat Pack--Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis, Jr., Peter Lawford and Joey Bishop--star with Angie Dickenson in the original Ocean's 11. Eleven pals prepare to carry out a--theoretically--foolproof plan to rob five Las Vegas casinos at midnight on New Year's Eve. The plan depends on split-second timing, and everything goes like clockwork ... at first. But even in this almost perfect scheme, things begin to go wrong.

Critics Consensus: Easygoing but lazy, Ocean's Eleven blithely coasts on the well-established rapport of the Rat Pack royalty.

Some of it is funny, but the whole piece never knits together into a believable whole because it is based on a terribly contrived screenplay and because Dir. Milestone obviously couldn’t decide whether to play it straight or satirical.

It's an autopsy of the Greatest Generation's self-mythology.

The British tackled a similar plot a bit earlier in The League of Gentlemen and made a better job of it. Ocean's gang includes such "clan" stalwarts as Dean Martin, Peter Lawford and Sammy Davis Jr.

The picture is very plush... so much a display of performers who act as if a mere appearance would induce hysteria in the adoring public, that you wonder who's fooling whom.

The intrigue is in the details that initially passed you by. The men, for instance, are all army veterans. They address each other by rank and their booze-fuelled camaraderie seems to be an expression of their status.
