Auction History Result 1f148 OCEAN'S 11 1sh '60 Sinatra, Martin, Davis Jr., Dickinson, Lawford, Rat Pack classic! Date Sold 7/21/2013 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Ocean's Eleven, the classic 1960 Lewis Milestone Las Vegas Nevada Rat Pack multi-million-dollar multi-casino hold-up gambling crime caper thriller ("That Big One!!"; "Nobody else would have dared it because nobody else would have the nerve!"; "You wouldn't call it a gang. Just Danny Ocean and his 11 pals - the night they blew all the lights in Las Vegas!..."; about 11 Army veterans joining together to rob five Las Vegas casinos at once!) starring Frank Sinatra (in the title role as Danny Ocean), Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., Peter Lawford (the preceding were called "The Rat Pack" because they were real-life friends who socialized regularly), Angie Dickinson, Richard Conte, Cesar Romero, Patrice Wymore, Joey Bishop (who surprisingly was given very low billing, under that of Patrice Wymore!), Akim Tamiroff, Henry Silva, and "Guest Stars" Red Skelton, George Raft, and Ilka Chase. Note that several Las Vegas casinos agreed to allow filming within their casinos, and without that, the movie could never have been made for a reasonable price. This might seem odd, given that the premise of the movie was a massive robbery of the casinos, but it would be next to impossible to accomplish in real life, because Las Vegas is in the middle of a giant desert, so even if such a robbery could be successful, how would the perpetrators escape with the money?

There are stains at lower right in the white background and around the edges of the poster. There is creasing, smudging, and light rippling throughout the poster. There is some separation at the middle and bottom crossfolds and at the right end of the bottom horizontal fold (repaired with tape from the back) and there is some tattering along the bottom quarter of the vertical fold and around the edges of the poster. There are tack holes scattered throughout the poster (some with rust stains) scattered throughout the poster but fortunately, they are mostly in solid color background or border areas and there do not appear to be any in the stars' faces. Overall, the poster would greatly benefit from professional restoration, after which it would look great (although I can imagine many Rat Pack fans would consider this a 'must have' poster and be quite happy with it as it is!).
