An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Six-Sheet Movie Poster (measures 81" x 81") (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?

Note that this rare and really cool poster is in excellent condition! It has the following minor defects: there is tiny paper loss at the bottom center of the poster (where the two smaller pieces join). It is in the right end of the left piece, and it extends into the "A" of "CHASE" in Ilka Chase's credit, but fortunately, it is in the part of the poster that overlaps, so the part of the "A" that is missing is also on the left edge of the right piece! There is still some tiny paper loss in the very bottom of the center of the poster, but it is really tiny. There is a tiny hole in the blank white border above Dickinson's image. There is a tiny circular censor stamp in the white background area to the left of the "A" of "ANGIE" in the credits, and another one above the final "A" of "SINATRA" in the white background area. There are several pinholes in each corner, and a few pinholes in the borders in between the corners. OTHER THAN THE ABOVE TRULY TINY DEFECTS, THE POSTER IS IN GREAT CONDITION! It has a nice crisp unused feeling to it, even though it must have been used (at least for a little bit, because of the pinholes in the corners). There is a tiny piece of white tape on the back of the crossfold that falls in the black background at the bottom right of Martin's image, but otherwise, the poster has not had any restoration of any kind. I can't imagine a collector who would not be thrilled to own this great poster! Learn More about condition grades
