Robin and the Seven Hoods (DVD, 2001)

Four of the greatest entertainer of all time in a musical. Frank, Dino, Sammy and Bing all singing and Sammy dancing. Add Cahn and Van Heusen's soundtrack and Nelson Riddle's artrangements. Songs include Chicago is my kind of town, and Mr. Booze. Plus a knock-out comedic performance by Peter Falk pre-Colombo. "It makes me jump up and down!"

The RatPack and Bing Crosby. What more is there?! You get to hear the top crooners sing/dance together while having a fun time being gangsters. I love the movie. It has an interesting story line. Great fun for the family.

I have always Loved this movie as a child and wanted to share it with my children and Grandchildren.

The item was shown as a good price. It was shipped directly to my home. I could not find a better price in a store.

The RatPack at their best. During November 22nd, 1963 The cast of this movie were informed of the death of President John Kennedy. Legend goes that they were filming the funeral scene of the mob boss, "Big JIm" (played by Edward G Robinson). With this movie things would forever be changed for Dean, Frank and Sammy. They continued to wow Las Vegas, and made several good movies together, but as comedies go this would forever be known as their best by most RatPack fans.
Quickly paced, well acted, and truly a "must have" for every fan of "The Boys" this movie will keep you smiling and remembering a great era that is gone.

Robin and the 7 Hoods (1964) is a fun gangster movie muscial starring Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis, Jr., Bing Crosby, and Peter Falk. When the big boss in Prohibition-era Chicago, played by none other than the original screen gangster, Edward G. Robinson, is taken out by the traitorous Guy Gisborne (Falk, who is great in this role), control over the city's rackets is up for grabs. Gisborne is quick to grab, but Robbo (Sinatra) refuses to follow him. The two rivals vie for power in a gang war, and Robbo is severely outgunned. He's joined by out-of-town pool-player Little John (Martin), feisty Will (Davis), and Allen A. Dale (Crosby),the director of an orphanage.

When Robbo donates money to the orphanage, Dale spreads word of Robbo's good deed, giving him the reputation of a modern-day Robin Hood, which endears him to the Chicagoans. Gisborne strikes back by having Robbo arrested for a murder he didn't commit and testifying against him at his trial. Robbo is found not guilty and celebrates by singing "My Kind of Town," but his troubles aren't over yet. He's got to contend with dissention within his own gang and the mysterious and alluring Marian (Barbara Rush), who claims she is the deceased big boss's daughter.

Robin and the 7 Hoods is a very entertaining movie, with great songs performed by some of the century's best singers. My favorite number is "Style," in which Frank and Dino teach the obsoletely dressed Bing how to look fashonable and smart like them. The transformation of Robbo's speakeasy into a reformation center to fool Gisborne and the cops and Crosby's subsequent "Mister Booze" number are hilarious. Robin and the 7 Hoods is a thoroughly enjoyable film that will please viewers of all ages.

THIS IS TRUELY A GREAT MOVIE. IT'S BEEN ONE OF MY FAVORITES SINCE I WAS YOUNG. NOW THATS IT'S ON DVD IT'S A MUST TO HAVE IF YOU A FAN OF FRANK, DEAN, SAMMY, AND ALL THE OTHER ACTORS IN THIS MOVIE. 5***** ACROSS THE BOARD FOR THIS MOVIE.

It's the rat pack -- what more is there to say! Frank, Sammy, Bing and the gang are all fun! Memorable lines and fun music. If you like this you may also want to check out Pocketful of Miracles with Glenn Ford, Hope Lange, and Peter Falk. Same good clean gangster fun, minus as many songs.
