The 1960 Rat Pack film starring Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, and Sammy Davis Jr. was Ocean's 11. Directed by Lewis Milestone, the heist film follows Danny Ocean, played by Sinatra, as he assembles a team to rob five Las Vegas casinos simultaneously on New Year's Eve.
The ensemble also included Peter Lawford and Joey Bishop, the other two central members of the early-1960s Rat Pack. The performers were closely associated with Las Vegas nightlife, and the film was made during the same period when the group was appearing together at the Sands Hotel. That connection helped make Ocean's 11 a defining snapshot of the Rat Pack era.
The film is often confused with later Rat Pack projects such as Sergeants 3, 4 for Texas, and Robin and the 7 Hoods. It is also the original film behind the much more elaborate 2001 remake starring George Clooney, Brad Pitt, and Matt Damon. Sammy Davis Jr. performs the memorable number “Eee-O-Eleven” in the 1960 film.
