That was when Vegas was Vegas, not Disney land. I was lucky enough to see it all in 1978. Saw Martin, Sammy, Sinatra all on the billboard. Rickles was there, alot of old names. It was a place for adults to try their luck. No fooling around. I saw people lose tons of real money on one black Jack hand. Will always remember the old town.
Mesmerizing scene. Frank, Dean, Sammy and the boys. Sammy's facial expressions are naturally cool. Imagine sitting at a nightclub, having a cocktail and listening to them sing. Wow
Today December 8, would be Sammy's 90th Birthday! Wow! He did way more than his part to help tame mankind with his gift and talent. When he left, he also took showbiz with him and leaving us in an era without it. RIP Mr. Davis-
Great last scene. The whole thing blew up in their faces but there's no whining, no complaining of the unfairness of it all....they just took it like men and moved on.
Show me a man without a dream And I'll show you a man that's dead Real Dead Once I had me a dream But that dream got kicked in the head Dream dead Some Judge is gonna say I'm putting you away For four score years and seven In the meantime Eee-o-Eleven Eee-o-Eleven Ladies and Gentlemen, This is the only 11 worth seeing. If you"ve never seen the movie from start to end " Go For It " It's the "Rat Pack " at the top of their game, also check out "Robin and the seven hoods"
Thank you posting this . This makes the whole song for Sammy. Monumental. Look close at the pack. When it came to the show down, to JFK's inauguration, Sammy wasn't invited to the inner sanctum parties because he married a white woman (Mae Britt). The stand-up guy who told Kennedy to take his inauguration and shove it was not the ass-kissing Sinatra, but Dino. Look at him close ladies and gentleman in this movie. He was world's greatest humanitarian who cow-towed to no one when Sinatra did, in support of his friend Sammy Davis Jr. He died an underrated broken man when his handsome son died in a US Airforce Jet crash somewhere in , I think, California. All the life went out of him. He was giant off the screen as well as on.
I'd give just this scene an academy award for pure imagery and best song. Sammy nails this to perfection. Anyone notice the very cool push off the pole from Dean. Classic and so cool. Bravo!!
I gotta admit for a short scene with no talking it was great acting...they all have the look of shock disgust and what the f am I gonna do now look on thier faces
How cool can you get? The cut of those suits and those black ties... Does anyone remember the scene with Frank and Angie in the elevator? He says," I got some good news" she says, "Alabama beat Auburn by twelve" ..? Awesome
BlueBurro922 But how, even among such a classy group and just wearing regular suits, does Dean somehow manage to look so much MORE elegant than the rest of them?? His clothes always hang so perfectly and I don't think he ever looked scruffy in his life.
It's a sign of the times. Remember when men wore suits and ties when traveling? And women wore pretty dresses? That kind of dashing style should return...
I think it's possible to love both versions, and I do, I love both the original and the remake. The original, well, how could you not love the original? The Rat pack, old Vegas, totally awesome! And the re-make, well, I consider the re-make one of the coolest movies of the last 20 years!
The whole Rat Pack thing was an elaborate lie; a marketing concept dreamt up by the Mob to promote their Las Vegas interests and exploited by Senator Joe Kennedy to give his son John some reflected youthful cool to launch him into the white house. The Mob were keen to get JFK elected in the mistaken belief he would halt enquiries into organised crime. Their portrayal as inseparable friends was pure fiction and the drinking and partying was PR fabrication. They were all middle-aged family men with kids.
A W ....NO WAY, NO , NOPE, you must be the 1st human to have noticed this. I’ll bet even the director missed this goof, bravo sir, hats off to you for such an incredible discovery.
So has anyone notice how Sammy Davis Jr. stops short at the very end. The ? is why. Perhaps the director was leaving it open for a sequel. No not another robbery but perhaps a continuation of the so called "incinerated money." Let's suppose you were the funeral director's assistant and you found the money band next to the coffin. Of course you would check out the coffins content. And remembering Saul's interest in the deceased you'd need a way to throw him and any others off. So you would plant the idea of a cremation idea into the Funeral Director's head and no one would be the wiser after assuming the money was burnt... except for Josh Howard of course.
This is one of the coolest endings to a movie ever... screw the modern remake. There should only be ONE movie, no sequels. They tried to rob the casinos, almost got away with it, but failed. You will never get that chance again the casinos would be on you like flies on a rib roast.
Самый философский фильм американского кино. Эти парни хотели обмануть саму жизнь. Но им не удалось. И Сэми Дэвис в конце отчаянно и красиво поет, понимая, что так всю жизнь и будет работать на мусоровозе в Лас Вегасе
Nothing beats Norman Fell throwing down that cigarette in disgust. Loved the ending in 2001 at the Bellagio much better, too bad they ruined it with the sequels.
@ERROLCUSTERFLYNN4EVR You are so right. That's one thing the remake couldn't duplicate. I have always thought this scene with the guys walking away as the credits role and then the sign behind Sammy with the names of the performers was brilliant.
When this was made these guys were the centre of the entertainment universe JFK would come to see their shows. They werent really for teenagers,Elvis was boss of that market and jazz was too leftfield. These guys were living it large. Best line from the movie, Richard Conte: "Give it to me straight Doc, is it theBig Casino?" Classic.
That was intentional. The Rat Pack was actually performing at the Sands while they were filming the movie, and part of their contract was to have a block of time during the night to perform, then go straight to the set to film. They were merely showing their movie was set in the real world, where their characters would have been able to see the Rat Pack...and probably think, "Hey, those guys look just like us!"
Funny thing bout this movie: they were originally planning to fly the money back to where they were because they were all part of the 82nd airborne and the plane would've crashed, having them all die. The producers thought the ending was too morbid and that's why they included this ending instead.
Thanks for posting the film's ending. Lewis Milestone was a great director, and while he likely directed this overly hip action-comedy as a bit of a lark, its somber and almost tragic ending is actually quite moving, and I'm sure Milestone insisted on it. I saw the movie in 1960 when I was "eleven" and it left a mark. Sure, the banter's formulaic and the sexist 1960's attitudes are all there, but hey, it's the original Rat Pack in all its long-gone glory, and far better the the Clooney version.
there is to much "walking on egg shells and pcbs today. this is a great movie. I saw it as a kid,now I have the blu ray...I get a fosters oil can and watch the movie about once every 6 mos. never grows old.
As Sammy would say, "I'm hip!" We must be on the same schedule. I also watch it several times a year, and despite occasionally wincing over the dialog, I still love the film.
Nicky Blair is seated at the end of the row at the funeral and he's the one who tells them Conte is being cremated. Nicky was a pal of the Rat Pack, came out to Hollywood in the late 1940's with Tony Curtis when they were both starving actors just starting out. He loved to cook pasta for all of them and when his acting career had pretty much run it's course, he opened a restaurant in L.A called Nicky Blair's in the early 1970's. I met Nicky a few times, a very sweet guy. He passed away in 1998.
This is the cream of American Entertainment. Hollywood today is clueless, brats with money, and couldn't carry a tune if their life depended on it. Eat your heart out Brad, George, Matt, etc.
ok so let me just put this out there since im reading the comments and seeing that almost everybody here has seen this film. What is your opinion on the 2001 remake with George Clooney and Brad Pitt? i have only seen that one and i am very very interested in this one the original one
@TheIronhide34 They put the money in the coffin, the coffin got cremated instead of buried. They planned to dig it up when it was back home, but it got burned in Vegas instead.
it'll be a good twist if the widow knew about the money inside the coffin, and took it out of there before cremation. she gets to keep the loot and the gang is hunted by the mob that wants to recover the stolen money. in the novelization, the mob hunted and killed all the gang members, saving Danny and Sam for last.
Major plot hole. The body would not have been cremated directly after the service. It would have been transferred to a cardboard box and upon opening the casket the funeral director would have become a very rich man.
They never should have torn The Sands down, though what it became by the 1980's was an eyesore and unrecognizable from the building seen here.. Or they should have rebuilt the original building (without the 1966 tower) from the original blueprints in the desert 10 miles outside of town as a shrine to an era we will never see again. I was in The Sands in 1967 when it pretty much looked like this. They paged people in the casino on a house intercom.."Jack Entratter, pick up the white phone."
One of the best endings in American cinema. Davis's vocal is pure pleasure.
That was when Vegas was Vegas, not Disney land. I was lucky enough to see it all in 1978. Saw Martin, Sammy, Sinatra all on the billboard. Rickles was there, alot of old names. It was a place for adults to try their luck. No fooling around. I saw people lose tons of real money on one black Jack hand. Will always remember the old town.
You were very lucky Colleen. My Dad told me a story when he shared an elevator at the Fountbleau in Miami in 1966. Good times..
.
The entire Ocean’s franchise sort of covers that subject.
Amen
Mesmerizing scene. Frank, Dean, Sammy and the boys. Sammy's facial expressions are naturally cool. Imagine sitting at a nightclub, having a cocktail and listening to them sing. Wow
A classic .. The 60's was a fabulous era..
one of the best endings of all time... a classic..
It felt very sad, to me.
Today December 8, would be Sammy's 90th Birthday! Wow! He did way more than his part to help tame mankind with his gift and talent. When he left, he also took showbiz with him and leaving us in an era without it. RIP Mr. Davis-
he was great !
I love how their names show up on the marquee as they walk away.
Great last scene. The whole thing blew up in their faces but there's no whining, no complaining of the unfairness of it all....they just took it like men and moved on.
Gone are the days of great actors and movies. Wish I could go back in time and be part of these era!
For anyone who hasn't been to Vegas, this is basically what Sunday morning walking back to your car feels like. Every time.
I hope to experience that feeling, someday.
😂
I believe this was filmed early on a Sunday morning.
This is the kind of shot that Quentin Tarantino makes a mental note to copy later.
+Porfle Popnecker QT already copied it in the opening shots of "Reservoir Dogs".
Yeah, that's what I was referring to.
Show me a man without a dream
And I'll show you a man that's dead
Real Dead
Once I had me a dream
But that dream got kicked in the head
Dream dead
Some Judge is gonna say
I'm putting you away
For four score years and seven
In the meantime

This is the only 11 worth seeing. If you"ve never seen

Check out the video of Sammy Davis doing this song in the garbage garage..
R.I.P. Richard Benedict (1920-1984) (George "Curly" Steffans, Peter Lawford (1923-1984) (Jimmy Foster), Clem Harvey (1919-1988) (Louis Jackson), Sammy Davis Jr. (1925-1990) (Josh Howard), Dean Martin (1917-1995) (Sam Harmon), Frank Sinatra (1915-1998) (Danny Ocean), Norman Fell (1924-1998) (Peter Rheimer), Buddy Lester (1915-2002) (Vince Massler), Joey Bishop (1918-2007) ("Mushy" O'Connors) and Henry Silva (1926-2022) (Roger Corneal).
And Richard Conte (1910 -1975) (Tony Bergdorf)
Thanks for this information. I was just wondering about when who died.
Vegas 1960. All the guys. An amazing time. Must have been a load of fun to work on this movie.
Thank you posting this . This makes the whole song for Sammy. Monumental. Look close at the pack.

This scene has a magic that has made me see it like 20 times. Everyone's performance and the climate of the time are wonderful.
I'd give just this scene an academy award for pure imagery and best song. Sammy nails this to perfection. Anyone notice the very cool push off the pole from Dean. Classic and so cool. Bravo!!
Love this ending and have some class !!!!!!
Beautiful. A rare glimpse of Gods walking the Earth.
This movie was badass
It's great!! An excellent ending for this classic film.
I adore this movie.
I gotta admit for a short scene with no talking it was great acting...they all have the look of shock disgust and what the f am I gonna do now look on thier faces

Linda - They say he was THE COOLEST cat in Hollywood, ever...!
Great song by Jimmy Van Heusen/Sammy Cahn and marvelous singing....thankx so much to Sammy Davis!
Days gone by, it will never be the same!
All the effort they put into the heist and in the end it was all for nothing, yet they are still so damn cool!

Nothing trumps the original; no one bests the Rat Pack.
110% correct.
Just watched for the first time. Disappointing movie. Like Ocean's 8, the only good thing is the cast. Remake way more entertaining.
Awww... you all think we need one more.... we'll get one more.
The whole Rat Pack thing was an elaborate lie; a marketing concept dreamt up by the Mob to promote their Las Vegas interests and exploited by Senator Joe Kennedy to give his son John some reflected youthful cool to launch him into the white house.

I like the remake but it aint even close, this is the real deal, this and "Robin and the Seven Hoods"
@Marvel Fan Fuck you how about that.
RIP Henry Silva , the LAST to go on the eternal Mission. 😢
wait a minute 🤔... that's the villain frm movie : Above the Law 1988
Outstanding character actor …
one of the greatest movies ever made
Btw did anyone catch the sign at the very end that had Frank, Dean, and Sammy on it?
They filmed this when the Rat Pack was doing their Sands residency.
And Peter Lawford.
A W ....NO WAY, NO , NOPE, you must be the 1st human to have noticed this. I’ll bet even the director missed this goof, bravo sir, hats off to you for such an incredible discovery.
By the way I think everyone caught it.

Coolest ending ever!
This movie rules.
I Love the cool way these men stride down the blvd. EE-O Eleven! Sing it Sammy!
" The money was hidden in the casket...and the casket was ....cremated." Ashes to ashes, gentlemen.
Show me a man without a dream...

Orlando Navarro real dead
5 stars for the only version of "Oceans" that counts!
I saw SDJ in Australia.
The money got cremated, great ending.
Wish I could live in 60`s Vegas, think I will go there when I perfect my time machine.

Inimitables!!!! inigualables!!!! ellos son y serán por siempre los únicos Ocean's
You cant beat the all-time classics. Especially, if they include The Rat Pack.

Never Rob thieves. E oh!..;-) The pack Rules!.. 7-Come 11..
Yessir....the coolest ending ever! That cool 1960's vibe with the orchestra behind the powerful voice of Sammy Davis Jr. I love it! Memories.......♥️😎
No screw you the remake is one of my favorite movies of ALL time and holds precious memories because of it
Sammy road away on the Flamingo - he stashed 4 bags , not 5 🥂

I watch this when my day's going less than perfect and I need a shot of undiluted cool.
Nothing beats Norman Fell throwing down that cigarette in disgust. Loved the ending in 2001 at the Bellagio much better, too bad they ruined it with the sequels.
Cheers to the old "strip" , those days are long gone but Vegas still has the appeal.

RIP Ocean's 11 wherever you are.....
Henry Silva is the only one of the Eleven still with us.
I agree. Oceans 11 is the only version that counts! Long live the rat pack. 5/5

Sorry Clooney and Co., this is the real thing not the New Coke.
I have yet to see this classic.
It is really good. I personally like the way it was shot. If you appreciate old style dialogue and dry humor, give it a look.
I hope you have seen it by now.
Next to Tombstone it's the coolest movie outro ever.
Absolutely
Odd thought; lots of the actors' names on that sign. Maybe the original plan was for that to be the credits?
That was intentional.

One day I'll have me a chauffer and a block long limousine... Great flick. Far and away better than the remake. All of those guys have passed now,
Had to be the most hilarious ending ever.
The Original and Best of all time. Fu_k the remake and sequels.
Loved this movie but also loved the Orginal Rat Pack.
One of the few times I appreciate UA-cam algorithm
Richard Boone is delivering the Eulogy!
i love how u see the Rat Pack's names on the sands sign in the background

Came to Vegas in 48 and never left, but sadly Vegas left me.

E-O Eleven
Eeo Eleven by Sammie Davis Jr.
my mom made me watch this movie years ago, Thanks mom.
WOW! Mine too! Like around '68.
Anywhere I can get the slow version of this song that they show here?
Does anyone realise when they walk past the sands their actual names are on the billboard
The Motion Picture Production Code at work...
How come they all look so sad and disappointed, like they just saw all of their money burn up in flames in a casket or something. heh.

Major plot hole. The body would not have been cremated directly after the service. It would have been transferred to a cardboard box and upon opening the casket the funeral director would have become a very rich man.
i love the original better the the remake

They never should have torn The Sands down, though what it became by the 1980's was an eyesore and unrecognizable from the building seen here..

Look at those suits class and style snd they know who to get women and they knew it RIP
Sammy Davis just Swag!
@spk9grsch Because ppl would think if he was at front he would be arrogant - so the director made up for this position by giving him more camera time.
OMG!!! THIS IS THE BEGINNING OF "RESERVOIR DOGS"!!!
Yes I noticed that!
I remember steak , eggs , hash browns and toast breakfast for $2.99
Coffee and Orange juice was free , free refills
I think his mother was Puerto Rican.
