DVD Reviews of Robin and the Seven Hoods
DVD Review: Classic
Summary: 4 Stars
Peter Falk as "Robbo" Frank Sinatra as a Hood, throw in Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., Bing Crosby and many Character actors that you love to see on your screen; what a wonderful mix for entertainment! I remember watching this in my youth and didn't want those memories to fade. Now they never will, it was just as enjoyable in 2009 as it was back in the 60's!DVD Review: Rat Pack Finale
Summary: 3 Stars
Frank, Dean and Sammy go gangster in the Rat Pack's most satisfying film. Breezily directed by Gordon Douglas, "Robin and the 7 Hoods" (1964) features a colorful supporting cast and the Sinatra standard "My Kind of Town." The musical-comedy is notable for the only cinematic collaboration between Sinatra, Martin and Bing Crosby - who memorably croon their way through "Style." Sammy Davis Jr. finally gets to strut his stuff with the incredible "Bang! Bang!" number. Despite its overlength and disappointingly abrupt conclusion, the Rat Pack's final big-screen epic remains preferable to the self-indulgence of "Ocean's 11" and "Sergeants 3."DVD Review: Robin and the Seven Hoods
Summary: 5 Stars
The real rat pack is out to have fun again . Grate actors without all the sex and violence of today's movies, but with all the fun and suspense of a good comedy thriller. We have some of the best actors of there day that would still draw a crowd today. Frank Sinatra,Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., Bing Crosby, Peter Falk all team together to bring fun to the screen for the last time as the RAT PACK. A must see for all old time movie fans.DVD Review: Entertaining Rat Pack plus Bing musical
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a very enjoyable musical comedy spoof of the Robin Hood legend set in Roaring 20's Chicago. The commentary by Frank Sinatra Jr. is most informative, noting the movie was being filmed at the time of President Kennedy's assasination. A great bargain!DVD Review: Robin and the 7 Hoods
Summary: 5 Stars
Have not had a chance to watch yet, but it was good the first few times I've seen it before. Received it in good time.
Description of Robin and the Seven Hoods
In prohibition-era Chicago the corrupt sheriff and Guy Gisborne a south-side racketeer knock off the boss Big Jim. Everyone falls in line behind Guy except Robbo who controls the north side. Although he's outgunned Robbo wants to keep his own territory. A pool-playing dude from Indiana and the director of a boys' orphanage join forces with Robbo; and when he gives some money to the orphanage he becomes the toast of the town as a hood like Robin Hood. Meanwhile Guy schemes to get rid of Robbo and Big Jim's heretofore unknown daughter Marian appears and goes from man to man trying to find an ally in her quest to run the whole show. Can Robbo hold things together?Running Time: 124 min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre:?COMEDY/CLASSICS UPC:?883929007578 Manufacturer No:?1000036692"My kind of town, Chicago is...." The last film venture by the Rat Pack finds Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, and Sammy Davis Jr. in an update of the Robin Hood legend, set in Chi-town in 1928. The boys play gangsters who become Jazz Age Merry Men; Bing Crosby is their eloquent spokesman. As usual, women are in short supply within the featured cast, but the film is colorful enough anyway with its period trappings. By the time this movie was released in 1964, the Zeitgeist was already shifting toward the Beatles, and Frank, Dean, and Sammy looked like your father's entertainment. But while this film is no knockout, director Gordon Douglas (Young at Heart) makes it a pleasant enough way to say good-bye to the Rat Pack's life together on film. --Tom Keogh
