Ocean's Eleven Overview:

Ocean's Eleven (1960) was a Comedy - Crime Film directed by Lewis Milestone and produced by Lewis Milestone and Henry W. Sanicola.

SYNOPSIS

Sinatra, Martin, Davis, Lawford, and the rest of the Rat Pack do that Ring-a-Ding-Ding thing in their neon stomping ground – Las Vegas. The Pack plays a group of ex-soldiers who plan to knock off the strip's biggest casinos on New Year's Eve. Most interesting as social anthropology of a lost culture circa early '60s.

Ocean's Eleven Facts
The casinos hit in the heist are: Hotel Flamingo, the Sands, Desert Inn, the Riviera and the Sahara.
Shirley MacLaine's tipsy uncredited cameo was ad-libbed by the actress, for which she reportedly received a brand new car from Warner Bros. as compensation. Her line, "I'm so drunk I don't think I could lie down without holding on," was a rehash of a classic Dean Martin line.
As Peter Lawford, Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra attempt to disguise themselves by blackening their faces in the garbage truck near the end of the movie, Sammy Davis Jr. says, "I knew this color would come in handy some day." Martin and Sinatra teased Davis about that scene for as long as they knew each other thereafter.
In the final shot of the film, the eleven walk past the famous sign in front of the Sands hotel. The five members of the Rat Pack (Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., Joey Bishop, and Peter Lawford) are billed on the sign. They were performing alternately in the hotel's Copa Room during production, at the "Summit at the Sands".
The lead characters all served together in the 82nd Airborne division during WWII.
