Robin and the 7 Hoods. 1964. USA.


It's the mid sixties and the Rat Pack are here with a mighty fine update of the Robin Hood legend, set in Chicago in the nineteen twenties.

There is some great song numbers, including one with Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Bing Crosby all crooning together.

Sammy David Jr and a host of other Rat Packers all appear in this fun romp, which has a slightly down beat ending, but over all is great fun.

And where else would you expect to see Peter Falk (Colombo) firstly play the bad guy, and secondly sing!

Great fun to be had watching this musical!

Frank Sinatra = 12/54.

My rating = 8/10.
