Reviews

" [ ... ] Sinatra's Rat Pack acts quite jolly; with a surprising conclusion. ( Score: 2 stars: average ) "

"Try a caper comedy. Big star cast, directed less success. "

" With pleasure takes director Lewis Milestone time to introduce and present his players before you to " come actual event. " So the first 60 minutes more as " Las Vegas -atmosphere sniff " where you then can really let off steam in the remaining hour is. "
