Frank Sinatra stars as Danny Ocean in this crime comedy about a former paratrooper, who talks ten other ex-members of the 82nd Airborne into a plan to take five of the biggest casinos in Las Vegas for a few million dollars on New Year's Eve. Of course among the group are the legendary members of the Rat Pack: Sam Harmon (Dean Martin), Jimmy Foster (Peter Lawford), Josh Howard (Sammy Davis Jr.), and Mushy O'Connors (Joey Bishop). Danny, whose marriage to Bea (Angie Dickinson) is on thin ice, feels the skills he acquired in the service will prove more profitable in the criminal world. Not all the prospective thieves are self serving; the injured Tony Bergdorf (Richard Conte) needs the money for his son's education. But most of the men, like Josh, who won the Distinguished Service Medal and now drives a garbage truck, feel they deserved better from their country. It appears that Danny has drawn up the perfect heist--assuming they can steer clear of Duke Santos (Cesar Romero), an ex-con (and Jimmy's prospective father-in-law) who's caught wind of their scheme.

Reviews for Ocean's Eleven
Considering the iconic status of all involved, the result is disappointing.
Sinatra, Davis, and Martin performed their club acts at night and worked on this Las Vegas-set film during the day, and the good time they were having fairly jumps off the screen.
Laboring under the handicaps of a contrived script, an uncertain approach and personalities in essence playing themselves, the production never quite makes its point, but romps along merrily unconcerned that it doesn't.
Young people are likely to find this more appropriate and bewitching than do their elders. The latter are likely to feel less gleeful in the presence of heroes who rob and steal.
