Auction History Result 5p0412 OCEAN'S 11 linen 3sh 1960 The Rat Pack robs Las Vegas casino, best image for this movie, rare! Date Sold 12/19/2023 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Three-Sheet Movie Poster (3sh; measures 41" x 81" [104 x 206 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?

Important Added Info: Note that this three-sheet has an image that is very similar to that of the insert, and most collectors greatly prefer this image to that which is on the one-sheet (which is why this three-sheet and the lookalike insert sometimes sell for around three times the price of the one-sheet, which is very unusual with posters from movies of the 1950s and 1960s!). We have only previously auctioned five examples of this three-sheet, and only one in the last 10 years (and that last example sold for $3,530, and the others sold in a similar price range, because it is the "ultimate" poster for any gambler or Las Vegas resident to display on their wall)! What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster had just a few tiny tears and tiny areas of paper loss on small parts of some folds and very minor border wear, with small paper loss in the center of the top blank border and a few pinholes around the edges. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well! Learn More about condition grades
